Great choice of readings! A couple of episodes ago I suggested one of the Fornaldar sagas, but this is even better. For some reason I had a mental block and was thinking only of the sagas, not the other lore. I'm delighted to hear you read from the Poetic Edda, especially something as fundamental as Havamal.

I've recently started listening to your Spoken Lore and Raven Cast podcasts, and enjoying them. Thanks for providing them! You solicited ideas for the next saga, now that we are getting to the end of Grettir ... I'd vote for one of the Fornaldar sagas, but I'm sure whatever you guys end up picking will be good.

We'll put a post up this coming week with the 1st episode explaining further :-) We are limited as to the amount of audio we can upload each month but I think what we will work on is posting as many episodes of Njal’s Saga as we can each month.

I just started listening to Ravencast, and heard about this from there. I wouldn't mind starting at the beginning and working my way up through the library.

I am missing chapters 26-30 due to problems with the old site. Keep up the good work, I put these saga's onto CD's and listen during long trips in the car. :) Any estimated timeline for posting of earlier episodes of Njal’s Saga?

I'd actually not read the Volsung Saga before, but right around the time Brynhild told Sigurd that she knew his eyes when he rode through the fire to her, but could not see clearly because of the veil lying over her fate, I got shivers that pretty much lasted throughout the rest of the episodes recorded thus far. There's some powerful story here--thanks for introducing me to it. I’m just catching up on my Spoken Lore episodes, and wow, there’s some deeply mythic writing here.

If I may, I do have one small suggestion/request. As these podcasts are once a week I've found I have some difficulty with remembering minor details of the story and I frequently confuse names due to the time period between listening to each podcast. I think adding 2-3 min "refresher" (ie: "last time, we left so-and-so stranded at this cave after fighting"...etc) at the beginning of each podcast would help your listeners remember what preceded the current podcast. As always, a loyal reader, T Hello,
