Due to popular demand we have created a new site to host all of the episodes of Njal’s Saga.  We were specifically asked by several listeners for reposts of episodes 26 through 30 as these seem to have been the most commonly lost when Spoken Lore switched servers.  The new site is at http://njalssaga.podbean.com.  There is also a permanent link on the right side of the page under podcasts.

ENJOY!
