This one's for the parents out there, trying to their best to raise good kids.

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside-down house, smells faintly of sugar cookies, and has an earnest love of children. When parents are at their wits’ end, she offers up creative (and often hilarious) cures for kid problems like "I thought you said"ers or "won't go to bed" or "won't take a bath."

This warm and sweet children's classic by Betty MacDonald reminds us that kids grow best with a whole lot of love, some natural consequences, and a good sense of humor.

Continuing the stories of the Norse gods and mythology from the Younger Edda by Snorri Sturluson. In this episode, we meet Bragi — the Mead-Tongued Bard, the word-smith of Valhalla, the keeper of the poetry-mead’s flame.

Here we learn the story behind the kennings — why gold is “Ægir’s fire,” why the sea is the “whale-road,” why poetry itself is “Odin’s stolen mead.” This is more than a list of clever nicknames.

The Skáldskaparmál tells the stories behind the kennings of the gods and the earth and everything in it.

Step into the world of the Norse gods as we explore the Younger Edda by Snorri Sturluson. Written between 1200 and 1300 AD, these stories trace the mythic beginnings of creation—from the Frost Giants to the world shaped from Ymir’s body. Meet Odin, Frigg, Thor, and Loki, and uncover the origins of Norse beliefs, legendary tales, and the prophecies of their ultimate fate at Ragnarok.
