Welcome to CHAPTER 49 of the Kinsmen Die podcast, home of fantasy fiction based on Norse mythology that’s written and read by me, Matt Bishop.In this podcast I read my first novel, Kinsmen Die, one chapter at a time. And, with each episode, when it makes sense, I provide some commentary about the source materials I’ve referenced in the text.This week we’re back with Vidar. It’s been quite a long time since his last chapter — episode 35. In that chapter, he and his war band, along with some Einherjar, attacked the Jotunn rearguard at the mining camp in the mountains near Hals. Vidar made a couple tactical errors when assaulting the Jotunn, but he and his war band prevailed. We rejoin him now.Please visit the podcast's public site for the episode transcript, which includes the entire chapter.
