A hearty thank you on my behalf for taking the time to make them! They have been largely helpful for me, as I am (after a few years of dabbling in it) taking serious steps toward becoming a full-blown heathen. Your podcasts have helped me to take the right steps and not fall into dogmatizing and simply accepting information at face value. As I listened to this podcasts, I actually found myself thinking that delving into kennings would be a fascinating topic for future podcast right before Dave mentioned it... which I found amusing :) From a newer heathen's standpoint, the kennings have been a bit confusing as I have gone through the lore, and sometimes the different names of the gods have bypassed me and left me wondering who was actually being discussed. Thank you both so much again for making such a wonderfully entertaining and informative podcast series! First off, I just wanted to tell you that I have greatly enjoyed all of the 101 podcasts.

Thank you! And doing it on the gods is a great idea! I also loved it that you said which editions of the Eddas you were using so that I could get them out and follow along. The only thing that would have helped me more with that would have been more references to the exact spots in each Edda (especially the Prose Edda) that were quoted -- that would have helped me find them to follow along quicker. With the Poetic Edda, of course, it's easier since you can quote stanza numbers, but I don't know, maybe a page number for the Prose Edda or something. Overall, though, it was a great approach and gave me a lot to think about and to read about on my own. A good 101 topic and approach! Thanks again! I’m very happy to see more 101 podcasts. Thank you!
