Saga Thing returns after a much-needed holiday to pick up the story of young Glúm Eyjólfsson, better known to history as Víga-Glúm. When last we left you, Glúm's father (Eyjólf, who some called Lump) had passed away. Seeking any advantage they could get in the district, Thorkel the Tall and his son Sigmund claimed the best land at Thverá for themselves, pushing Ástrid and Glúm to the margins of the property. With no help coming from her eldest son Thorstein, Ástrid is forced to rely on her youngest, Glúm. Unfortunately for her, Glúm is a known coalbiter who prefers laying by the fire to working or pursuing justice for his family. As the situation worsens, Glúm heads to Norway hoping to gain some experience and recognition from his maternal grandfather Vigfús. Of course, things don't go exactly to plan when he arrives. How does this family reunion go for Glúm? Does grandpa Vigfús the hersir embrace his Icelandic grandson and raise his status? And who will help Ástrid deal with increasing pressure from Thorkel and Sigmund to leave Thverá? All the answers are in this episode of Saga Thing. Along the way, we talk about the place of religion in Víga-Glúm's Saga, highlighting some places to look for signs of pagan influences in the text. For example, is old Vigfús a figure of Óðin? Does this saga explore a tension between cults of Óðin and Frey? Is it all about fate? Or is this simply a story about human beings who make their own choices and have to live with the consequences. Speaking of pagan influences, we go on a brief tangent to talk about the dísablót, a special holiday and sacrifice to honor the household gods. As always, we dig into some genealogies. Please have a look at the family tree Andy's been building for Víga-Glúm's Saga on FamilyEcho. And if that's not enough, we also share some interesting stories about corpses getting dug up to face legal consequences for their actions. If you're into that kind of thing, you'll definitely want to check out the episode on Pope Stephen VI from our friends at Pontifacts. If you're interested in reading Víga-Glúm's Saga for yourself, you can find the 1866 translation by Edmund Head for free on the sagadb. We're using the John McKinnell translation, which is available in the Complete Sagas of Icelanders collection and as a stand alone text from The New Saga Library. As with most modern scholarship on this saga, much of what we have to say about this text begins with the edition by Gabriel Turville-Petre.

There are so many things to love about being tall as a woman. We naturally command every room we enter. We're naturally more respected. We give off modelesque vibes. We can walk quickly, run quickly, and reach for things on top shelves without asking. Clothes hit differently on us. We stand out without trying. And the list goes on and on and on…And with all of these amazing things to love about being tall, sometimes you have to wonder why many tall women are insecure about, or even hate their height? Why don't they realize how amazing and unique it is? The answer to this is honestly pretty complex and we're actually gonna discuss this along with the effects of height privilege on tall women.

This year was definitely the year for tall women on social media.And I'm HERE FOR IT. Starting with the Big Mama trend, tall women have been showing up online embracing their height and size, and other people have been eating it up, too, saying that tall women are beautiful and so underrated. Like, yes, yes, we are. The Big Mama trend has led to a whole slew of smaller trends where tall women are embracing their height. I will say it's died down a teeny bit, but now the tall girlies are trending again, but for something different. There's a bit of drama and content highlighting one of the struggles we face as tall women. And I kinda wanna give my thoughts on them, so make sure you tune in to the full episode!

Welcome to the Caribbean's best-kept secret – though probably not for much longer. Dominica is the region's eco-tourism crown jewel, where volcanic peaks pierce rainforest canopies and waterfalls cascade into natural hot tubs. Originally called "Wai'tu kubuli" meaning "Tall is her body" by indigenous Kalinago peoples, this mountainous island avoided European colonization longer than its neighbors precisely because it looked so forbiddingly vertical.

In episode 220, host Galit Friedlander and guest Chad Geiger (dance agent at The Movement Talent Agency) pull back the curtain on what representation really looks like from the agency side and what dancers often misunderstand about it. We talk about essential pieces of a sustainable dance career: communication, contracts, headshots and resumes that actually serve you, and how your choices off the floor impact your opportunities just as much as your training on it. Chad shares insight on navigating direct bookings, building trust with your team, and why “doing the basics well” is still one of the biggest differentiators in today's industry.

Romans 15:12-13Isaiah's word: There's the root of our ancestor Jesse, breaking through the earth and growing tree tall, Tall enough for everyone everywhere to see and take hope!Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!The good tidings of great joy from thousands of years ago is that there is a root breaking through and growing big enough for everyone, everywhere to take hope.That same promise made thousands of years ago is just as true today, on a daily basis. There is a root that has already been planted in your life because of what happened in Bethlehem thousands of years ago. And that root of hope can break through the ‘earth / ground of your life' and grow.Because of the root of Jessie, thousands of years ago, and the root of Jesus growing in our lives today, verse 13 comes alive. The hope, that is the fruit of what has already been planted as followers of Jesus, becomes infectious to all of those around us. Let's personalize this passage.May God of green hope,fill me up with joy,fill me up with peace,so that my believing life is filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit and flows over with infectious hope.Let's pray: “Immanuel, Lord Jesus, We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us. To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus! Help us to receive and embrace the Hope eternal that only You bring. Emanuel, God with us. Amen”

The tall girlies are tired y'all. The tall girlies are tired and annoyed by the fashion industry not being inclusive of tall women. Prime example: one of the biggest complaints I hear from tall women is that clothing stores have a petite section but not a tall section. I honestly still don't understand the thinking behind that, but whatever :/ Anyways, another complaint is that yes, some major brands sell tall clothing options, but they're not ‘tall' enough. Listen, it's a whole mess out here y'all. And part of the reason for this podcast is to put you guys on to the clothing brands that are specifically for tall women, including Altagia. Today, I'm joined by founder and fellow tall girly, Alina, to discuss what many brands get wrong about tall clothing, why some tall clothing brands are lacking in the style department, and the story behind her brand, so definitely tune into this episode for more!

This is a topic seldom discussed within the preparedness world, at least not with any realism or truth.In other words, reality vs fantasy - facts vs hope and desire. Yes, in a grid-down scenario we will all hope and desire to feed ourselves in the best most efficient way we can. We fantasize about being that hunter gatherer… be it, killing a large game animal or scavenging abandoned stores, warehouses, and homes. Some will even attack and rob other survivors of their stockpiles, sometimes and more often then not, commit murder in that process.All, are forms of Hunting and Gathering. As Preppers, and Survivalists, we must stick to the facts when it comes to survival. We have to set aside the fantasy, disregard those romantic daydreams of being the hero that hunts and kills and provides the much-needed protein to their people. Fun to think about… dangerous to believe.Consider this. There are seasoned hunters that go out and hunt for large game like deer and elk, spend the entire week, maybe even the entire season, doing all the right things, perfect strategy, scent control, proven location - only to never even see a single target and ultimately come home empty handed. This, is realty. This is truth. It's happening right now, as we speak, this hunting season.Oh, maybe we'll get lucky, and hit a deer with the car on the way out to the woods. Instant meal, pre-tenderized. It could happen right? Ya never know. But the probability of a first timer or a rookie game hunter getting a successful kill on day one, week one, during an SHTF Grid-Down situation is very low. We're more likely to get shot at buy other hunters, then take a shot at a deer.This is part two of our Hunter Gatherer series where I talk with my co-host Jeremy about raising that probability much higher so that we can all find success as Hunter Gatherers.TOPSBunker.com Please Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:The Total Deer Hunter Manual - Field & Stream Flexibound BookHunting & Survival Manual - Field & Stream PaperbackSimplest Guide To Whitetail Deer Hunting - PaperbackBushnell Powerview 10x50mm Instafocus Binoculars RealtreeVortex Otics Solo 10x25mm Monocular Fog & Water ProofKNINE Outdoors Hunting Field Dress Kit 12 pcArcticShield Elite Cold-Weather Parka - RealTree EdgeArcticShield Heat Echo Sherpa Bib - RealTree EdgeWalkers Razor Slim Ultra Low Profile Electronic Hearing ProtectionHME 3-Color Camo Face Paint - No Glare Black Brown GreenNorth Mountain Gear Woodland Camo Ghillie Suit - 3D LeafMuddy 1-Person Huntsman Deluxe Tree Stand 17' Tall 300lb CapTLC Sport Hunting Blind Pop-Up 360 See Thru Design RealTreeSupport the show
《原谅,是给自己的礼物》“Forgiveness Is a Gift to Yourself”Forgiveness doesn't change the past, but it frees the future.“原谅不能改变过去,但能让未来自由。”Growing up, this memory was undeniably the most painful chapter of my life, and it deeply shaped the person I am today.在我成长的过程中,这段记忆无疑是最痛苦的,也深深塑造了今日的我。⸻2In junior high, I was an outstanding student, almost always ranking first in the entire school. Yet, I didn't get into my dream school—Kaohsiung Girls' Senior High. I eventually chose Fengshan High School and passed the exam to enter the gifted English program.国中时,我的成绩优异,几乎总是全校第一。然而,我却未能如愿考上第一志愿——高雄女中。最终,我选择了凤山高中,并通过考试进入英语资优班。⸻3Those days were wonderful. Each of my classmates had their own unique personality, and the cheerful atmosphere helped me open up in ways I rarely had before. I finally had more time to study the English I loved, and we had a humorous, open-minded homeroom teacher—Gilian.那段日子是如此美好,班上的同学各具特色,乐观开朗的氛围也让我开始展现自己较少流露的一面。我能花更多时间学习最热爱的英语,还有一位幽默开明的班导师——Lilian。⸻4She cared deeply for us. She even invited the whole class to her wedding and organized a trip from Kaohsiung to Taipei to visit universities—an experience that broadened my world.她不仅用心指导我们,还带全班参加她的婚礼,甚至组织我们从高雄到台北的大学参观,开拓视野。⸻5In that class, I became inseparable friends with Jenny. She was lively and outgoing—the center of attention—while I was more introverted, yet I tried my best to be close to her, learning confidence through her.在这个班级里,我和佳欣成了无话不谈的好友。她个性活泼开朗,是班上的焦点人物,而我则较为内向,但仍努力靠近她,试着学习她的自信与魅力。⸻6Through her, I met Zack, the class president next door. Tall and delicate-looking, he stood out instantly—and he was the boy Jia-Xin had a crush on.也因为她,我认识了隔壁班的班长——宇哲。他高挑清秀,第一眼就能吸引目光,也是佳欣暗恋的对象。⸻7As time passed, I came to learn about his life. His mother had passed away when he was young, leaving his father to raise him and his sister alone.随着相处时间增长,我也逐渐了解了宇哲的故事。他的母亲在他小时候便过世了,父亲独自抚养他和妹妹。⸻8Despite his hardships, he remained disciplined and hardworking, always ranking near the top. I admired him deeply, and we gradually became friends who shared everything.尽管如此,他仍然自律勤奋,成绩名列前茅,从未让家人担心。我对这样坚强的他充满敬佩,也渐渐与他成了无话不谈的朋友。⸻9Coincidentally, our birthdays were only eleven days apart. On his birthday, Jenny and I celebrated with him. For mine, I didn't expect much, yet he still gave me a gift—a baseball cap, unwrapped, placed on the floor outside my classroom.巧合的是,我们的生日同在同一个月份,仅相差11天。宇哲生日那天,我和佳欣特地为他庆祝。而当我的生日到来时,他给了我一顶没有包装、放在教室门口地上的棒球帽。⸻10I didn't think much of it at the time—boys weren't always thoughtful. But a few days later, he posted an article on the school's online forum, calling me “vain,” even claiming that no one in class liked me.当时我不以为意,心想男孩总是不如女孩细心,却没想到,几天后,他竟在学校的电子论坛上发文,指名道姓地说我“爱慕虚荣”,还写道班上的同学都不喜欢我。⸻11As my eyes moved across those cold, merciless words, my heartbeat grew heavy. I couldn't believe that in the eyes of someone I trusted, I had become that kind of person.当我滑动滑鼠,视线落在那些冰冷而残忍的字眼上,心跳逐渐加快。我无法相信,在我所重视的同学眼中,我竟成了这样的人。⸻12The hurt and humiliation swallowed me whole.那一刻,委屈与羞辱交织,将我吞没。⸻13I spiraled into self-doubt. Every day after school, I would hide in the bathroom and cry under the sound of running water.从那天起,我陷入深深的自我怀疑,每天郁郁寡欢。回家后,我的固定行程变成了躲进浴室,在水流的掩护下哭泣。⸻14This lasted until one day, our teacher said in class, “If anyone feels uncomfortable here, you may apply to transfer.”这样的日子持续了许久,直到某天,Lilian老师在课堂上说:“如果有同学觉得不适应,可以申请转班。”⸻15It was like seeing an escape route from my pain.那一刻,我仿佛看见了逃离痛苦的出口。⸻16I immediately called my father. I expected him to question me or persuade me to stay, but he simply said, “As long as you're happy.”下课后,我立刻拨电话给爸爸,本以为他会细问原因或劝我留下,然而他只是平静地说:“只要妳开心就好。”⸻17The next day, I submitted the transfer form, closing that chapter of darkness.隔天,我便递交了转班申请,正式为这段阴影画上句点。⸻18This was not the first time I had experienced social hurt growing up. I was ignored by friends in elementary school, again in junior high—psychological wounds I didn't recognize as “bullying” until later.这次的事件并非我在求学阶段首次遭遇的人际挑战。小学和国中,我都曾被要好的同学突然当成空气,这些心理创伤直到多年后才被我意识到其实也是一种“霸凌”。⸻19From these experiences, I learned one thing: “The best revenge is becoming a better version of yourself.”那时的我感到无助,也深深受伤,但我学到了一个重要的道理——“最好的复仇方式,就是活出更好的自己。”⸻20So when this happened again, I chose growth. I devoured books on personal development—especially Dale Carnegie'sHow to Win Friends and Influence People.因此,当这次的事情发生时,我选择成长。我开始阅读大量心理成长类书籍,其中卡内基的《如何赢得友谊与影响他人》对我影响最深。
Forgiveness doesn't change the past, but it frees the future.“原谅不能改变过去,但能让未来自由。”1Growing up, this memory was undeniably the most painful chapter of my life, and it deeply shaped the person I am today.在我成长的过程中,这段记忆无疑是最痛苦的,也深深塑造了今日的我。⸻2In junior high, I was an outstanding student, almost always ranking first in the entire school.

Tall and delicate-looking, he stood out instantly—and he was the boy Jia-Xin had a crush on.也因为她,我认识了隔壁班的班长——宇哲。他高挑清秀,第一眼就能吸引目光,也是佳欣暗恋的对象。⸻7As time passed, I came to learn about his life. His mother had passed away when he was young, leaving his father to raise him and his sister alone.随着相处时间增长,我也逐渐了解了宇哲的故事。他的母亲在他小时候便过世了,父亲独自抚养他和妹妹。⸻8Despite his hardships, he remained disciplined and hardworking, always ranking near the top. I admired him deeply, and we gradually became friends who shared everything.尽管如此,他仍然自律勤奋,成绩名列前茅,从未让家人担心。我对这样坚强的他充满敬佩,也渐渐与他成了无话不谈的朋友。⸻9Coincidentally, our birthdays were only eleven days apart. On his birthday, Jenny and I celebrated with him. For mine, I didn't expect much, yet he still gave me a gift—a baseball cap, unwrapped, placed on the floor outside my classroom.巧合的是,我们的生日同在同一个月份,仅相差11天。宇哲生日那天,我和佳欣特地为他庆祝。而当我的生日到来时,他给了我一顶没有包装、放在教室门口地上的棒球帽。⸻10I didn't think much of it at the time—boys weren't always thoughtful. But a few days later, he posted an article on the school's online forum, calling me “vain,” even claiming that no one in class liked me.当时我不以为意,心想男孩总是不如女孩细心,却没想到,几天后,他竟在学校的电子论坛上发文,指名道姓地说我“爱慕虚荣”,还写道班上的同学都不喜欢我。⸻11As my eyes moved across those cold, merciless words, my heartbeat grew heavy. I couldn't believe that in the eyes of someone I trusted, I had become that kind of person.当我滑动滑鼠,视线落在那些冰冷而残忍的字眼上,心跳逐渐加快。我无法相信,在我所重视的同学眼中,我竟成了这样的人。⸻12The hurt and humiliation swallowed me whole.那一刻,委屈与羞辱交织,将我吞没。⸻13I spiraled into self-doubt. Every day after school, I would hide in the bathroom and cry under the sound of running water.从那天起,我陷入深深的自我怀疑,每天郁郁寡欢。回家后,我的固定行程变成了躲进浴室,在水流的掩护下哭泣。⸻14This lasted until one day, our teacher said in class, “If anyone feels uncomfortable here, you may apply to transfer.”这样的日子持续了许久,直到某天,Lilian老师在课堂上说:“如果有同学觉得不适应,可以申请转班。”⸻15It was like seeing an escape route from my pain.那一刻,我仿佛看见了逃离痛苦的出口。⸻16I immediately called my father. I expected him to question me or persuade me to stay, but he simply said, “As long as you're happy.”下课后,我立刻拨电话给爸爸,本以为他会细问原因或劝我留下,然而他只是平静地说:“只要妳开心就好。”⸻17The next day, I submitted the transfer form, closing that chapter of darkness.隔天,我便递交了转班申请,正式为这段阴影画上句点。⸻18This was not the first time I had experienced social hurt growing up. I was ignored by friends in elementary school, again in junior high—psychological wounds I didn't recognize as “bullying” until later.

Show Notes Episode 340: We're Wall to Wall and Tree Top Tall This week Host Dave Bledsoe is coming down out of Hog Town in a Thirteen Letter Shit Spreader hauling Go-Go Girls on the Dance Floor bound for Bingo Town, only to discover that no one has a single fucking clue what he is saying when he talks like that. (Not an uncommon event.) On the show this week, we climb into the cabs of our big rigs and take you back to the days when the Asphalt Cowboys captured America's heart and everyone had a CB radio in their Pontiacs. Along the way we learn that Dave thought he would be a Big Rig Driver because he liked the hats, until he learned he would need to park the damn things. From there we dive right into the strange cultural moment in the 1970's when everyone in America talked like a truck driver. (What a bunch of Bucket Mouths) We find out how a combination of gas prices and not being able to drive 55 made the men (and they were almost all men) on the road big damn heroes because of some commercials for white bread (Yeah, this story goes in some unexpected directions.) Our Sponsor this week is Pappy's Pep Pills, we swear they ain't speed (wink wink) We open the show with NPR and close with Phil and Shawn talking about BJ and the Bear.

Did ancient civilizations nuke themselves into oblivion… or did the History Channel just get bored again? This week we dive headfirst into the rabbit hole of Ancient Nuclear Wars – from the “radioactive” skeletons of Mohenjo-Daro, to alleged atom-bomb craters in the desert, to the Mahabharata passages that sound suspiciously like somebody watched a Cold War documentary and got way too excited. We'll talk vimanas (ancient flying machines), biblical firestorms, desert glass, and why every weird rock seems to mean “aliens with launch codes” to at least one guy on YouTube.Along the way, we'll pit wild fringe theories against boring things like geology, archaeology, and physics (booooo), ask whether Oppenheimer accidentally subtweeted the Vedic gods, and decide if the only real ancient WMD was still… humans and their bad decisions. Was there a Bronze Age Fallout-style apocalypse, or is this just another case of modern nuclear anxiety cosplaying in ancient texts?

We're thrilled to kick off our first episode of Víga-Glúms saga, the last of the sagas of Eyjafjörð. Víga-Glúms saga is one of the great character-driven Íslendingasögur, often drawing comparisons to Egils saga. Now, whether that's because it also happens to be a biographical saga or because it's of a similar quality will have to be sorted out on the podcast across the overview and judgments. But we're excited to start this new saga either way, and this first episode sets the stage beautifully for the arrival of the man who comes to be known as Killer-Glum. Like so many sagas, Víga-Glúms saga opens not with the hero himself but with the adventures of the generations that came before him. These early chapters give us a sense of the family dynamics, the local tensions, and threads of fate that Glum will inherit and inevitably wrestle with as his saga develops. Cast of Characters: I'm going to try and include a cast of major characters in the show notes for each episode to help listeners keep track of things. In this first episode, we get to know Glum's formidable ancestors, including: Helgi the Lean, Glúm's great-grandfather and the most prominent settler in Eyjafjörð Ingjald Helgason, Glúm's grumpy grandfather Eyjólf, Glúm's mild-mannered but calculating father Of course, this wouldn't be Saga Thing without a few memorable supporting characters to make things interesting. This episode introduces some pretty interesting Norwegians: Hreiðar, a Norwegian merchant with a heart of gold Ívar, a Viking with a heart of red (also Hreiðar's brother) A berserk with a notably low sense of self-worth, whose attempts at intimidation don't quite land the way he hopes Vigfús, a powerful Norwegian hersir with a lovely daughter named Ástrið And then, there are the Icelanders who will make Glúm's life more interesting, and challenging: Þorkell the Tall, father-in-law of Glúm's recently deceased brother Sigmund, son of Þorkell the Tall, and wannabe goði Víga-Glúms saga is definitely a fun one that we've been saving for a while. We hope you enjoy this first episode!
