A few months ago we once again put the fate of Saga Thing in your hands. You had the option to choose our next saga, selecting between two of Iceland's greatest literary monuments and The Saga of the Foster-Brothers. The will of the people was made manifest and we got to work. You've been waiting patiently. Join us now for the first of many episodes on our listener selected saga of 2019, Egil's Saga. In this episode, we cover chapters 1-6. Here the dramatic tension revolves around King Harald Tangle-Hair's rise to power as he seeks to become sole ruler of Norway. One by one, the best men of Norway fall like dominoes before him, dying in battle, fleeing to new lands, and even burying themselves in mounds to avoid submitting to King Harald. Some embrace the seemingly inevitable and join the swelling ranks of King Harald's supporters. You won't run into Egil Skallagrimsson in this episode. This one is all about setting up the world into which he will be born. But you will meet Egil's grandfather, Kvelduf, his father, Grim, and his uncle, Thorolf. You'll also meet Kari of Berle, Kveldulf's best friend, and his sons Eyvind Lamb and Olvir Hump. How will these men respond to calls to either join Harald or risk their lives fighting against him? There's only one way to find out (assuming you can't read the saga yourself for some reason). Please feel free to submit any questions or comments you'd like us to address from this episode. We'll set aside some time at the end of each episode going forward to tackle those. You can send them to us via email, twitter, or facebook. When you're finished, be sure to check out our Select Bibliography for Egil's Saga on our blog site. There you'll find citations for all the articles and books we mention throughout our journey through Egil's Saga. We'll be adding to it as we go. As always, a special thanks to our Saga Thing illustrator, Matt Smith for the portraits of Kveldulf and his sons. We look forward to seeing what he does with the rest of Egil's Saga. If you like the work Matt's been doing for us, check out his latest project Metal Quest, a collaboration with Tom Pappalardo.

We opened up the Locked on Bears mailbag for a question on Twitter from one of the loyal listeners of the podcast. Tom Pappalardo asked about whether or not James Daniels' athletic tools would allow him to compete with Charles Leno Jr. at left tackle. If Daniels couldn't hold up on the outside, he could just slide back in to left guard, Pappalardo said. Host Lorin Cox answers the question and dives into the nuance of offensive line play, analyzing the different types of athleticism required to play tackle versus guard and whether Daniels fits the mold.

Tom Pappalardo is a writer, comicsmaker, graphic designer, musician, and, well, a lot of other great stuff you can learn about at http://tompappalardo.com/The Hampshire Gazette calls him "a pretty well-known name in these parts." We talked about the usual famey stuff, and coffee, and he read from his new and much heralded book, "One More Cup of Coffee." I asked Tom his thoughts about that particular beverage and YOU WON’T BELIEVE HIS RESPONSE!! Wait, that’s clickbait without a link to click. I wish I had asked Tom more about his absolutely amazing rock-show and other posters and the bands and other entities he made them for, but I forgot - next time!
