Welcome to CHAPTER 51 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 Frigg. The last time we were with her, she was visiting some newly built longships along the river. She was attacked by the Sons of Muspell who set fire to the ships. Frigg’s daughter Hermod chased after them. Frigg’s son Baldr got Frigg to safety and then braved the flames of a burning ship to rescue a child. Frigg thought her vision of Baldr on a burning ship was coming true but it did not. We rejoin her now the morning after those events.Please visit the podcast's public site for the episode transcript, which includes the entire chapter.
