| 10/8/25 | The Wight Stuff | It was a graveyard smash. From the fjords to the graves, it caught on in a flash! Our hosts tell some Viking-age ghost stories, from Grettir’s late-night tussles with draugr to Angantyr’s rude awakening. Prepare for a monster mash of restless dead, barrow brawls, and heroes who know how to crash the crypt. In this very special episode recorded live at The Lord of Spirits Conference, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick and Dcn. Seraphim Richard Rohlin tell some Old Norse stories about waking the dead, putting the walking dead back in their graves, and the deadly repercussions of not keeping the Christmas Eve fast. | — | ||||||

| 8/22/25 | Seven Against Thebes | Fr. Andrew and Dcn. Seraphim continue their #HotThebanSummer with the story of the Seven Against Thebes -- the great war against the Bronze Age city of Thebes, which Hesiod said, along with the Trojan War, was one of the two great wars of the Fourth Age, the Age of Heroes. | — | ||||||
