The amount of times that the guest says "um" and "erm" is really distracting, consists of half of her vocabulary....(literally she says "erm" 5x per statement and at times is used every other word), and makes me honestly wonder if she is a solid source of information because it seems like she is hesitant on either remembering the history or she is conflicted and not thinking clearly. Super distracting. Maybe she should listen to herself in a recording. It is awkward and cringe.

Hi amazing podcast, I just saw the ep 12 about Ragnarok, and I have a question ... Who is Vidarr? I saw on the internet that he participates in the battle and he kills the wolf (revenge for having eaten Odin).
