Episode 244 – Mjolnir, Peruvian Adventures with Nuri Apr 27, 2018

Show notes

The Viking gods have been banished from Asgard by Odin. Today they make the best of life on Earth. Thor is a professional athlete, Freya a prostitute, and Loki sells cheap products on QVC. Lurking in the background of their lives is a prophecy; one that declares that their time is at an end. Ragnarok is about to throw the gods into a state of civil war and the one who controls the hammer of Thor may be able to change the arc of destiny. Sounds cool, huh? We chat with the author of Mjolnir, and then dive in with Nuri about his recent adventures in Peru...
