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!

Podcast with a unique outlook

Love all these episodes and listen to them whenever they come out. Nice to hear lots of accents. Sometimes I expect British, but it's American which is great! I mean, I'm sure you would probably rate a podcast by it's content typically, but it's nice to just ignore all the great content, and fantastic science being communicated and just focus on the accents of the hosts... If you WERE interested in the content you would be interested to know that this podcast is well researched and does so witout funding, advertising and patreon. While the quality at times could use some work in the interviews, the types of people and the conversations had are informative and great. The hosts are still finding their voice, but have confidence and good chemistry so I will continue to listen going forward despite the fact that one of the hosts has a British accent and the other an American.
