Ep 66 - Slavery and Christianisation of Scandanavia with Shachar Orlinski

This week Mathias and Daniel are sitting down with Shachar Orlinski, a PHD student at the Hebrew university of Jerusalem whose study is concentrated on human trafficking in the Viking and Merovingian period. It's a hard topic to tackle but hopefully with Shachar's help we'll all walk away from the discussion a little bit wiser. Other topics this week include Heimdalls golden teeth, and our new favorite Youtube comment!
