Or is he just one of far too many characters to fit properly in the story... plus the Black Knight is still getting stiff! That Cialis he's on must be good stuff... Plus, some listen feedback!

In this final installment of our coverage of Norse Mythology by Kevin Crossley-Holland, we re-present "Loki's Flyting" from Episode 162, The Binding of Loki" from Episode 252, and finally..... "Ragnarok" from Episode 261.    Music from "Eddan: The Invincible Sword of the Elfsmith" is copyright Mats Wendt, and is used with permission.

It's a mythology episode, as we cover "Freya's Unusual Wedding" from Neil Gaiman's 'Norse Mythology' - What happens when Mjolnir is kidnapped by the giant Thrym, who demands Freya's hand in marriage as ransom? Let's just say it's not just a crying game....
