Vineyards and wheat fields forever! In this episode Eirik takes a long, hard look at the belief in supernatural isles in Northern Europe. Our fantastic odyssey begins with the Norse discovery of America and its peculiar ties to scholarly hearsay in the Middle Ages, before we go on to address the rampant abundance of vanishing isles along the Scandinavian coast. Other more or less tackled subjects include: Minimally counterintuitive concepts, order from chaos 101, imperialist pigs and pyromaniac expansionism, the counter-factual Vinland wine industry, how to terrorize the huldufolk with every day objects, layered oceans, and much, much more. Musical contribution: Sjóraust IV by Richard Moult.
