We're finally covering the Norse vision of the apocalypse, Ragnarök. We go over the Norse pantheon of gods, Odin, Thor, Loki, all your favorites, and then we get into some of the events that presage the coming of doom before plunging fully into that doom itself, particularly the tragic death of Baldr done by the coward Loki. We also get into some of the classic Norse apocalyptic monsters, Fenrir, Jörmungandr, Hel, Garmr, and, of course, Surtr (who could forget Surtr?). It's a trip through Norse myth with comparisons to Greek and Christian visions of the end of the world thrown in for good measure.
We open the episode by discussing the recent ceasefire in Gaza, with hopes that it finally holds and brings an end to this terrible war, while along the way noting some of the discrepancies of language still en vogue in the media when addressing the war.
