Jan-Ove Tuv sits down with Sturla Ellingvåg to dive deep into norse mythology.
Ellingvåg is the historian behind the Viking Stories YouTube-channel.
He is associated with the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and is convinced that history has to be studied in a broader context than current fashion allows.

We have previously released an interview with Ellingvåg on this channel:
