This episode delves into the intricate and sometimes terrifying world of the supernatural, namely the Norse mythology of the Draugr. These monsters, or rather beings commonly described as undead, are a stern reminder of the Viking concepts of death and the afterlife. Unlike ordinary ghosts, the Draugr are bodily beings, with traits of anger and jealousy expressing themselves in powerful guardians of their tomb. The program describes how these stories are spun into Norse society, reflecting hidden fears in society regarding death, untimely business, and revenge. The Draugr, in a sense, represent the idea that not everyone who dies rests easy, and that history waits for its due revenge. Through such uncomfortable narratives, the listener is transported into a realm where the borders between life and death become precarious irrelevancies, questioning what one thinks of death and the legacies left behind.
