That JORVIK Viking Thing Podcast
In Viking times, a ‘Thing’ was a gathering; a place where leaders and warriors could meet and talk. In the 21st century, our ‘Thing’ is a virtual place where Viking academics and enthusiasts from around the world can come together to share knowledge.
Join Miranda and Lucas, from the JORVIK Viking Centre, as they delve into another fascinating topic about Vikings, archaeology, and more!

The Tale of Audun and the Polar Bear
In the spirit of the season, we're taking a short break for Christmas, but fear not – we have a special treat for you. Join us for a nostalgic revisit of one of our favourite episodes: "The Tale of Audun and the Polar Bear", formerly titled "Troll the Ancient Yuletide Carol: Viking Yule."
Our resident skald, Lucas , weaves a tale of adventure as a Viking embarks on a daring quest to gift the King of Denmark a polar bear. The story unfolds against the backdrop of icy landscapes, filled with bravery, cunning, and a friendship.
As we take a break to celebrate the holidays, we extend our gratitude to our wonderful listeners for a fantastic year of support. We'll return in the new year with more sagas, interviews, and Viking chitchat. Until then, may your Yule be filled with warmth and merriment.
Thank you for a year of Viking tales, and here's to many more in the coming year!
Listen and enjoy, and please consider leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen!
