  • Saint Patrick - Apostle to the Irish
    Mar 17 2026

    In this episode, we trace the extraordinary true story of St. Patrick — from Roman Britain to slavery in Ireland, from lonely shepherd to bold missionary bishop. Captured at sixteen, Patrick spent six years tending sheep, where his hardship became the backdrop for deep faith in a loving God. Years later and after a miraculous escape, he could have stayed safely at home.

    He didn’t.

    Instead, he returned to the very people who enslaved him and not with revenge, but with the Gospel.

    This is the story of the man who became the Apostle to the Irish.

  • Mrs Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald
    Mar 10 2026

    This one's for the parents out there, trying to their best to raise good kids.

    Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside-down house, smells faintly of sugar cookies, and has an earnest love of children. When parents are at their wits’ end, she offers up creative (and often hilarious) cures for kid problems like "I thought you said"ers or "won't go to bed" or "won't take a bath."

    This warm and sweet children's classic by Betty MacDonald reminds us that kids grow best with a whole lot of love, some natural consequences, and a good sense of humor.

  • Younger Edda Part II - Tales and Kennings
    Mar 3 2026

    Continuing the stories of the Norse gods and mythology from the Younger Edda by Snorri Sturluson. In this episode, we meet Bragi — the Mead-Tongued Bard, the word-smith of Valhalla, the keeper of the poetry-mead’s flame.

    Here we learn the story behind the kennings — why gold is “Ægir’s fire,” why the sea is the “whale-road,” why poetry itself is “Odin’s stolen mead.” This is more than a list of clever nicknames.

    The Skáldskaparmál tells the stories behind the kennings of the gods and the earth and everything in it.
