Around the Long Fire 69: The Poetic Edda, sections 7-11

Around the Long Fire

The sagas aren’t exactly setting our world aflame this week, so we instead talk a bunch about Licorice Pizza (building off of Ornate Stairwells), vtubers, and video games. In fact, some night say this is the beginning of our lengthy Metaphor game club, to be performed over the next 6-12 months!

See the show schedule here! This’ll tell you whis versions of books and which sections of those books we’re reading each week.
