Podcasts about Reykholt

In this special Saga Brief, we visit historic Reykholt, once home to Snorri Sturluson, for a fascinating conversation with Sigrún Guttormsdóttir Þormar, department manager at Snorrastofa. This interview is the second installment in our four-part series recorded on-site during our recent trip to Iceland. Sigrún generously met with us on a Saturday to talk about Snorri's life, legacy, and the important work being done at Snorrastofa to continue the long tradition of learning at Reykholt on the site. Along the way, she shared insights into Snorri's role as a chieftain, writer, and political figure in 13th-century Iceland, offering a more nuanced portrait of the man we often call “infamous.” If you're planning a trip to Iceland, we can't recommend a stop in Reykholt highly enough. In addition to its rich history, the Snorrastofa cultural and medieval studies center offers an engaging exhibition on Snorri's life, an inviting research library, and an exceptional gift shop. For more about Snorrastofa, including visitor info, exhibitions, and ongoing research, visit: https://snorrastofa.is Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think about Snorri's legacy after hearing from someone who engages with it every day.

Á hvaða sviðum er gervigreindin gagnleg og á hvaða hátt er hún heimsk? Á dögunum hélt einn helsti gervigreindarsérfræðingur Norðurlandanna, Serge Belongie, prófessor í tölvunarfræði við Kaupmannarhafnarháskóla og forstöðumaður Pioneer-stofnunarinnar um gervigreind, fyrirlestur í Háskólanum í Reykjavík. Markmið hans var að svipta hulunni af meintum töfrum gervigreindarinnar og hvetja til Norræns samstarfs í þróun hennar. Pétur Magnússon ræddi við Serge um heimsku gervigreindarinnar, valdaójafnvægi í þróun tækninnar og framtíð gervigreindar á Norðurlöndunum. Við förum á rúntinn í Reykholti í Biskupstungum með Helga Kjartanssyni, oddvita sveitarstjórnar Bláskógabyggðar. Þar um slóðir boruðu menn sig nýlega niður á sjóðheitt vatn í miklu magni, sem er mikil búbót fyrir samfélagið. Við ræðum við hann um þennan happafund og þorpið Reykholt sem stækkar ört með tilheyrandi vaxtarverkjum. Við förum svo í heimsókn á Þjóðskjalasafn Íslands og hittum fyrir Hans Hreinsson, skjalavörð.

Snorri Sturluson, the great Icelandic poet and historian and lawspeaker of the Althing, got involved in Norwegian/Icelandic politics, and it ended very badly. For him, for one thing, as the king of Norway arranged for 70 men to stab Snorri in his basement, and for Iceland, which devolved into chieftain battles and eventually unified with Norway and the Norwegian king became the boss of everything. The Althing still exists, though, and Iceland is independent now, and Snorri is one of the most influential poets of the early middle ages. We explain all this. Anne still wonders why you need 70 people to stab somebody in his basement, and Michelle is shocked, shocked, I tell you, that there isn't any historical fiction about all this, though she is slightly mollified by the fact that there is now a Snorri ap, for Android and IOS. Well, then.

O novo episódio do Estudos Medievais recebe a pesquisadora Sara Oderdenge, da pós-graduação em História da Universidade de São Paulo. O tema deste episódio são as pedras rúnicas, monumentos memoriais erigidos pelas sociedades escandinavas entre os séculos VIII e XIII. Os patrocinadores desses monumentos buscavam homenagear e associar-se à memória de familiares ou de aliados falecidos. Sara Oderdenge explica as características e funções das pedras rúnicas e também discute o surgimento e os usos dos alfabetos rúnicos (Futhark), e como é feito o trabalho de decifração e interpretação das inscrições. As runas aparecem em diversos tipos de objetos e com mensagens variadas, e são evidências do grau de letramento das populações escandinavas ao longo da era viking e do período medieval.

This episode is all about the Icelandic geothermal bathing culture in Iceland. Many of you might be aware that Icelanders love to soak in a hot tub no matter the weather. However, you might not be aware of some of the history, modern day culture and etiquette involved with this tradition. Before I jumped into it, I’m excited to announce that this episode is sponsored by the new Sky Lagoon geothermal spa in Reykjavík. I have to point out that I only like to promote places or things that I have personally gone to or used and can vouch for the experience. I will share some insight a little later in the episode about the Sky Lagoon because I was blown away by this new geothermal spa.  A Little History About Icelander's Geothermal Bathing Culture Bathing in a geothermal pool in Iceland is a national pastime, and the origins of this activity dates back to the settlement times. When farmers from Norway came to Iceland, they found that there was an abundance of hot water coming out of the earth in different areas of the country. Washing clothes and soaking in natural Icelandic geothermal pools were two of the most common uses. The heat and steam from the geothermal water were also used to make delicious Icelandic bread called rúgbrauð.Iceland’s harsh weather takes a toll on the skin and those with skin conditions found that soaking in the warm water seemed to alleviate some symptoms. Because the water from geothermal sources is often rich with minerals, it can provide healing properties for those that immerse in it. Iceland’s Most Famous & Historical Man Made Geothermal Bathing Pool Snorri Sturluson, a revered Icelandic historian, poet and politician, had a man made geothermal bathing pool in Reykholt back in the 13th century. It is aptly named Snorralaug, which translates to Snorri’s pool and is fed hot water by the nearby hot spring Skrifla.. What’s even more interesting is that Snorri had a tunnel built that went from his house straight to the pool so he could be sheltered to and from his beloved geothermal bathing pool. I visited this location in the summer of 2020 and the pool is beautiful. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to bathe in it today because the hot water that fills the pool can sometimes be scolding hot. While Snorralaug was once thought to be used only by Snorri, it appears that this pool was mentioned in the Landnáma, or book of settlement, back in the 10th century. Of course, it was not called Snorralaug back then but the pool in the book of settlements was in the same location. Modern Day Icelandic Bathing Culture While it is still possible and quite fun to bathe in natural geothermal hot springs out in Icelandic nature, the majority of Icelanders opt for local pools and spas. These facilities provide a comfortable place to change, lockers to store your things securely, showers to clean off, and a relaxing place to gather. Many of these places still use geothermal energy but it’s a major upgrade from what their ancestors used.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LceJtnzj_0&t=12s Sky Lagoon Iceland - Incorporating Icelandic Geothermal Bathing Culture & the Modern Spa Experience And this is what brings me to talk more about our sponsor for this episode, which is the new gorgeous Sky Lagoon in Reykjavík. I had the amazing opportunity to check out the Sky Lagoon the weekend it opened. If I recall correctly, it opened on Friday, April 30th and we went on Sunday, May 2nd. What’s nice is that it is only about a 10 minute drive from the downtown area. This new geothermal spa in Iceland is unique because they have incorporated Icelandic culture and history into the experience.I was blown away by how beautiful the facilities are and how thoughtful the architects were when they designed the place. For starters, the outside of the building was made using Icelandic turf, which is essentially dirt and grass. That is how Icelanders made their homes for centuries after...

The Peter Principle observes that people tend to get promoted to their level of incompetence. Namely if someone does a job well, they'll be promoted, until such time as they cease doing a job well and persist at that level of ineptitude. We mention this not because it accurately describes the arc of Mark's life both professionally and personally--which, let's face it, it does--but rather because we have decided to promote the AYURIS from off-hand remark into Full Fledged Segment (AYURIS, FFS [tm]). Time stamp and everything!

Stephanie and Greg are pretty negative in this one, you may not want to listen. Ok, ok, if you're going to listen let's give you a rough idea of what you're in for. Our first game review is Reykholt (7:39), next, Planet (11:30), then The Quacks of Quedlinburg (14:41) and lastly Pirate Tricks (18:46). We then get super cranky about hype in relation to board games and board game media (21:58) and lastly we tackle a listener question in Stephanie's book segment (41:21). Listen, and then get off our lawn!

Was haben isländische Tomatenbauern, norwegische Fischereibetreiber und bayrische Glasbläser gemeinsam? Wahrscheinlich gar nichts. "Moment!", ruft es da aus der Ferne. "Hatte ich die nicht alle schon mal auf dem Tisch?" In der Hoffnung, dass dieser Satz von einem begeisterten Brettspieler geäußert wurde und nur im übertragenen Sinne gemeint war, geben wir der Stimme mal recht. Denn Uwe "Agricola ist kein Getränk" Rosenberg hat diesen drei äußerst beachtenswerten Berufsgruppen drei ebenso beachtenswerte Brettspiele gewidmet, die Solo Manolo Euch im zweiten Teil seiner Rosenberg-Reihe genauer vorstellen will. Was diese Berufsgruppen jedoch nur durch harte Gemeinschaftsarbeit schaffen, versucht Solo Manolo wie so oft im Alleingang zu bewältigen. Wie erfolgreich er dabei ist, erfahrt Ihr in dieser Folge. Als kleines Schmankerl gibt es am Ende noch ein Interview mit dem Autor persönlich, welches letztes Jahr im Oktober aufgenommen wurde und aus GRÜNDEN erst jetzt ausgestrahlt wird. Um diese zu erfahren, müsst Ihr Euch die Folge leider anhören. Viel Spaß!

Interview mit Spieleautor Uwe Rosenberg: Spiele-Podcast Nr. 374 - Auf der Spiel 2018 in Essen haben wir mit Uwe Rosenberg nicht nur über Reykholt gesprochen

Jeg er Roger. En krigsveteran fra operasjoner i Libanon, Kosovo, Makedonia, Irak og Afghanistan. Slik beskriver Roger Bjorøy Karlsen seg på sin egen blogg «stepbystepwithroger». Og han legger til « To år i de sistnevnte landene har gitt meg dype mentale arr. Jeg har falt av livets hest og forsøker å finne veien tilbake til et liv med bedre kvalitet». Roger Bjorøy Karlsen har også vært lytter av Museums podkaster mens han har vært stasjonert ute på oppdrag. I et lytterbrev som gjorde sterkt inntrykk i Museums lille redaksjon slriver han : - I Afghanistan i 2014-2015 så prøvde jeg å pause fra verdens galskap med å lytte til Museum sine programmer. For å minne meg om at den verden jeg kom fra og etterhvert kom hjem til, var en fredelig en, smekkfull av interessant historie som ble fortalt og som ikke var oppdaget ennå. Spesielt fascinerte programmene om Egil Skallagrimsson meg. Om en sagafigur fylt av motsetninger, ikke ulik min egen, selv om nok sagaen om Egil er mer brutal. - Museum har fått Rogers tillatelse til å sitere fra brevet og i denne ekstra-utgaven av Museum får vi høre hvordan historien fortsetter. For Roger ville «gjenoppleve» et Museumsprogram om Egil Skallagrimsson og reiste til Island og kirken på Borg hvor Egil diktet «Sonnatorrek». - En veldig vind- og regnfull dag i slutten av september sitter bruden og jeg med følge i den lille kirken på Borg. Jeg i uniform med medaljer og sabel. Bruden hvit og vakker som snø. Oppe på galleriet står et kor som talte flere enn gjestene nede i kirkerommet. Begeistringen for historien om soldaten og offiseren som kom den lange veien til Borg for å gifte seg, var stor. I MUSEUM får vi også et gjenhør med programmene som inspirerte Roger Bjorøy-Karlsen, med professor Jon Gunnar Jørgensen og prestene både på Borg og i Reykholt. Programleder Øyvind Arntsen. Reportasjeserien fra det norrøne Island, som ble sendt første gang i 2008, er fortsatt tilgjengelig som podkast.

Shelley and I have a great time rolling dice and creating frescoes for our competing Viking clans, then have a LOT less fun competing to grow veggies in Iceland. Lindisfarne by Damien Fleury and Alain Pradet from RUNES Editions and Reykholt by Uwe Rosenberg from Frosted and Renegade Games

Matt and Quinns are joined in this episode by Microsoft Powerpoint(!) to discuss their experiences with Heaven & Ale, Reykholt, Captains of the Gulf, Trapwords and Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig. In a rare mailbag double-bagger, the pair then field two questions, one about the phrase "The Teach", the other about theoretical business ventures for SU&SD. Quinns wants to open a new telephone hotline and Matt wants funding for... well, it's not exactly clear?

Recorded in War Room Studios - Albuquerque, NM : 10/24/18 This episode brought to you by Power to the Meeple, Arcane Wonders & Meeple Realty. Year in and Year out the "Horror in the War Room" is one of our very favorite episodes to plan and produce and our 4th annual installment is no different.  Tune in and hear our reenactment listener Jaci Bell's story "A Proper End - An Eldritch Tale".  No Halloween special would be complete with Dracul and Igor - so we sent Cat on location to interview them.  We flash back to previous Halloween episodes and discuss Fury of Dracula, Mythos Tales & Gates of Loyang (can anyone say Uwe-Tober?!?). Then check in on the titles that are currently being played, including Eldritch Horror, Church Hill and Pulsar 2849.  Our TOMORROW segment is filled with hot Kickstarters - make sure you check out Street Masters: Aftershock and Tidal Blades now on Kickstarter.

It's that time, and we roll the dice and lay out the games that have caught our attention in this year's Essen preview show. First we cover 10 games nominated by our guild using a complex and patented formula. Then we each take a shot at adding five games of our own discovery. Throw in some expansion discussion, and you have a show of partially educated guessing that is sure to wow even the most cynical gamer.

A belated Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to everyone out there! We're a day late in getting this week's episode up, but know you'll appreciate having some extra content to listen to mid-week with the holiday break upon us.  Kicking things off this week, we asked you, the listeners, what games they had spent the most hours playing this year.  Next up, we dive into our biggest acquisition disorders of the last couple weeks, including the hotly anticipated digital implementation of Lord of the Rings Card Game and Uwe Rosenberg's newest, Reykholt.  Anthony Talks about his recent at the table play through of OTYS and Chris discusses The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 from USAopoly.  Finally, we dive into the final Hotness review of the year, including some recently buzzing games and a few oddballs.  If you haven’t yet, be sure to connect with us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/boardgamersanonymous), Twitter (http://twitter.com/bgapodcast), and on our website (www.boardgamersanonymous.com).

I visit the Snorrastofa, a research and cultural center at Reykholt, the farm in southwestern Iceland where the great medieval Icelandic historian and writer Snorri Sturluson built his home, a church, and later a small fortress. Snorrastofa Project Manager Sigrun Guttomsdóttir Þormar and I talk about Snorri's dramatic life, his legacy, and his hot tub, which is still in perfect working condition 800 years after its construction. The music in this episode is by the Iceland/German band Árstíðir lífsins, who take their inspiration from the Old Norse literature. ________ Museums in Strange Places is a podcast about Icelandic museums and museum culture.

Varför har de isländska sagorna kunnat behålla sin lyskraft i över 800 år? Är det för de spännande berättelserna, eller för våldsromantikens och blodshämndens skull? Eller för de starka kvinnorna som ofta avgör sina mäns öden? Mia Gerdin och Ulla Strängberg reste till Island för att ta reda på vad landets gamla sagor betyder idag. I det första programmet diskuteras hur sagorna inspirerar dagens författare som till exempel Sjón och Gerdur Kristny. Första stoppet på resan genom lavafält och jöklar är Snorre Sturlassons Reykholt, där han skrev Eddan, badade och gick en blodig död till mötes. På sin isländska resa, på jakt efter Eddans och sagornas betydelse      idag, besöker Mia Gerdin och Ulla Strängberg Reykholt, den plats  där Snorre Sturlasson skrev sin Edda på 1200-talet.  Där står Snorre staty och där finns hans varma bad kvar och även en liten rest av den underjordiska gång han hade mellan huset och badet.  Resan går också till vulkanen Hekla  där det förstås blir  läge att citera ur  Albert Engströms Åt Hecklefjäll som han skrev i början av 1900-talet. I Reykjavik intervjuas författaren och forskaren Jon Karl Helgasson.  Han berättar bl a hur stadens gator fått namn efter personer från olika sagor. Författaren Gerdur Kristny använder sig av en gammal Eddadikt i sin diktsamling Blodhov (översatt till svenska av John Swedenmark) och Sjón som tar sig fram i Reykjavik på sin vita cykel berättar om sagornas inflytande på hans författarskap, och varför de är stor litteratur än idag. Kristinn Johannesson  som är svensk samordnare för Nordens hittills största översättarprojekt, att ny-översätta de isländska sagorna till svenska, norska och danska – menar att de isländska sagorna ”ska ut ur skåpet” och användas som de tidlösa berättelser de är. Uppläsare är Johan Gry. Musiken kommer från Sigur Ros, Björk och Ry Cooder. Resenärer och programledare är Mia Gerdin och Ulla Strängberg. Detta är del 1 av 2. Del 2 sänds den 14 januari.

Da Snorre flyttet fra sin kone på Borg og giftet seg på nytt til Reykholt, fikk han kontroll over et av Islands rikeste kirkesogn. På selve gården var det fire-fem skrivekyndige prester, omlandet var stort og inntektene fra en rekke underliggende gårder gjorde Snorre i stand til å bygge Islands mektigste festningsverk rundt kirken og husene på Reykholt. Navnet kommer av dampen fra den varme kilden Skripla. I dag er Reykholt et moderne forskningssenter, Snorrestova, med 15 forskere innenfor arkeologi, naturvitenskap og sagaforskning. Stedet har en moderne kirke og et stort kurs- og konferansesenter. – Det kan minne om aktiviteten på Snorres dager, sier forfatter Oskar Gudmundsson, som i MUSEUM forteller om sin nye Snorrebiografi. – Der vil jeg vise at Snorre var en europeer, en mektig politiker og et maktmenneske, sier Gudmundsson, som hevder at Snorre ble betraktet som en landsforreder da den norske kongen sendte sine menn for å drepe ham.– All sagalitteratur er anonym, og vi har mer å gjøre med en redaktør enn en forfatter, hvis vi skal bruke moderne begreper , sier Jon Gunnar Jørgensen. – Sagaene er et speil for borgerkrigen i samtiden og peker mot nye styringsformer, sier Jørgensen. I MUSEUM forteller også Bergur Thorsteinsson om at Snorrestova nå vil forske på de mytiske fornaldersagaene, en gren av sagalitteraturen som ble skrevet i romanform på 1300-tallet og som hittil har kommet i skyggen av kongesagaene og islendingesagaene. Sendt første gang i 2008. Del 3 av 3.

Kvadet ”Hovudlausn” er et vindu inn i en hedensk tankegang og sjeleliv, en verden så fremmed for oss at selv ikke Snorre kunne ha skrevet det, sier sogneprest Geir Waage i Reykholt kirke. Waage deklamerer og tolker flere strofer på islandsk fra Egil Skallagrimssons berømte dikt til Eirik Blodøks i York. – Dette er sagalitteraturens mest formfullendte dikt. Jeg kan nesten forstå at Egil ble benådet fra sin dødsdom som takk for diktet, sier professor Jon Gunnar Jørgensen. På gården Borg møter vi en annen av Islands berømte prester, sogneprest Torbjørn Arnason. Han gir sin tolkning av det andre store diktet i Egils saga, ”Sonatorrek”, som Egil ifølge sagaen skrev mens han hadde bestemt seg for å dø, innelåst i sovekammeret sitt på Borg. – I de første linjene er han så preget av sønnetapet og trangen til å dø at han nesten ikke kan bevege tungen, men han dikter seg likevel tilbake til livet og avslutter med at ”Hel får ennå vente”. – Det hender jeg bruker dette diktet i mine prekner, sier Arnasson, som også forteller om kvelden for mange år siden da forfatteren Jorge Louis Borges banket på døra. – Borges var blind og gammel, men ville gå rundt her og føle stedet der Egil hadde diktet, sier Arnasson. Professor Jon Gunnar Jørgensen forteller om både ytre og indre dramatikk i Egils saga. – Det blir verdenslitteratur av de store indre spenningene i Egil, sier Jørgensen. – Det er den motbydelige og usympatiske vikingen som i sitt diktergeni også rommer en poetisk og var side uten sidestykke. Programmet sendt første gang i oktober 2008
