About this episode

Becky Hill hosts a discussion with three Viking Age historical fiction authors about their inspirations and connections to Viking history.

For our final podcast episode for 2025 I'm beyond thrilled to have invited not one but three of my favourite Viking Age historical fiction authors into Valhalla. Justin Hill, Giles Kristian and Theo Brun. So we can take a deep dive into their own connection and interest with viking history, what inspired them to write and so much more.
