Saga Thing show

Summary: <br> In Episode 3a, John and Andy discuss the difficulties of <br> trying to cover Eyrbyggja Saga in one episode…which they then totally fail to <br> do successfully.  So we present the first <br> of a two-part episode! Never fear, there’s plenty here to enjoy.  You’ll meet Snorri the goði and his rival <br> Arnkel Thorolfsson.   Listen as they <br> battle for control of Snæfellsnes Peninsula.  <br> This is a tale of fortunes and misfortunes, sweeping conflicts between <br> huge kin-groups, the rise and fall of chieftains, and the little people that <br> get swept up in the mess.  But it also <br> features a steamy love affair, a dispute over fine linens, and the exploits of <br> a spectral seal.  Don’t miss a moment!!!<br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0140445307/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0140445307&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=sagthipod-20">Eyrbyggja Saga (Penguin Classics)</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
