We're covering the bunk to de-bunk. And, as is the remit of this show, we shall travel in many directions. However, we do start with what Hyperborea literally means; historic roots in writings and legends/myths; and we move into more modern interpretations. Alon the way, we visit the Greeks. Conan the Barbarian, Lovecraft, Helena Blavatsky, Nazis, Agartha, and the list goes on.

I spend way too much time thinking about the potential of Pete Hegseth having tatoos mapping portals on Greenland as part of foreign policy. Trust me, I tie it all up neatly in a flawless logical bow. Or I don't. You judge, For the record, I wanted to use the word Sybilene, but never quite found the right time.","meta_description":"Prof. Chris Forth of the University of Kansas joins us to discuss all things Hyperborea.
