Welcome to CHAPTER 52 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 Hodr Odinsson. It’s been quite a few chapters since we were with him. He had been trampled by a horse and had his skull cracked open. The only reason he survived is that a couple days prior to being trampled he’d eaten a year-old Yggdrasil fruit. In this chapter, we’re back with the still-recuperating Hodr.Please visit the podcast's public site for the episode transcript, which includes the entire chapter.
