Welcome back to the Manor! Today's topic truly is one that deserves a mazer or horn of mead. We've both read a few different translations of Beowulf (Tolkien and Heaney for James super recently and Jody in the semi-not-distant past and Headley for Jody in the here-and-now) and wanted to be nerds about the variations and also just geekzerker (a kinning of geek and berserker) out on the saga itself. We do have a part 2 coming up about adaptations, as well, so don't think we've forgot about that! Next week's episode is a live episode! Well, it was to us. We finally managed to sit down and have some beers and talk about... well, you'll see next week, but trust us, it's a grand time, indeed!
