Imagine your family being banished from Norway, then they get kicked out of Iceland, then you decide to sail EVEN FARTHER away from Greenland into the unknown! No GPS, no gore-tex, no chance of rescue... I wonder what these people felt. Were they just terrified? Were they hopeful? Did their faith keep them going or was it pure desperation?
Such an awesome podcast. I felt cold and hungry just listening to this one!

I am a huge history podcast fan and your content is head and shoulders above any other. Thank you for all of the amazing effort you put into it, the quality shines. A special mention for your music and soundtrack. Absolute perfection. Far beyond the facts and dates, you have managed to convey a sense of gravity and even sadness at the loss of so much, so long ago. I normally do not comment on youtube, but in my opinion, you have transcended the format and produced a masterpiece.

I am learning so much about ancient history thanks to these podcasts... Because of your wonderful ability to help the listener visualise the people, places and struggles they faced, it's much easier to recall them later on and form a complete picture of what happened. This is really amazing stuff.

Hi! Me and my BF are hooked on your podcasts!
He came up with a clever question: if the vikings reached canada some rumor of this land must have spread to Iceland and from there to Europe. So why were the explorers in the 1500’s so clueless about The Americas? Did no knowledge seep trough to the courts of Spain and Portugal of another land then India across the Atlantic?
I myself have another question: what’s the main reason no one ever sailed from Iceland or Greenland to Canada to settle like Ericksson did going from Iceland to Greenland? Was it conflict with Natives or another reason?
Thank you from your fans!
