Still full from the epic meal of Njal's Saga, John and Andy turn to lighter fare. In this episode of Saga Thing, we follow Thorstein the White as he grows older and older and older. Along the way, he has some children and loses his beloved wife. To make matters worse, he also loses his eyesight, which makes running the farm a bit more difficult. Fortunately, his son Thorgils is there to pick up the slack...until he's killed in a local disagreement between Thorstein the Fair and his rival Einar. How will Thorstein the White get on without his trusted son? Who will raise little Brodd-Helgi Thorgilsson? And whose saga is this anyway? Listeners will find a lot more here about Thorstein the Fair and Einar than they will Thorstein the White. Nevertheless, join us as Saga Thing takes on The Saga of Thorstein the White!
