In Episode 3a, John and Andy discuss the difficulties of trying to cover Eyrbyggja Saga in one episode…which they then totally fail to do successfully. So we present the first of a two-part episode! Never fear, there’s plenty here to enjoy. You’ll meet Snorri the goði and his rival Arnkel Thorolfsson. Listen as they battle for control of Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This is a tale of fortunes and misfortunes, sweeping conflicts between huge kin-groups, the rise and fall of chieftains, and the little people that get swept up in the mess. But it also features a steamy love affair, a dispute over fine linens, and the exploits of a spectral seal. Don’t miss a moment!!!
