A four-part radio series about Iceland and the sagas that I made with Richard Fidler has been released on podcast, and is available for free
here.
We travelled to Iceland with a two-part mission: to tell stories from the Viking sagas written early in the country's history in the places where they actually unfolded a thousand years ago, and to settle a longstanding family mystery.
Along the way we delved into stories from four of the Icelandic family sagas:
Njál's Saga,
Laxdæla Saga,
Gísla Saga, and
Egil's Saga.
You can find out about the making of the radio series
