S3 E6: Comedy in Iceland with Thor and Eggert

Show notes:

In early May of 2024, I spent a week in the beautiful country of Iceland!  I had the opportunity to wrangle myself on to some local stand-up comedy shows there, where I met a bunch of people from the local scene.  After one show I sat down in a pub with two of the country’s leading professional comics, Eggert Smári Sigurðsson and Þórhallur Þórhallsson.  They gave me the lowdown on Icelandic comedy—which I share with you in today’s episode of the Comical Heathen podcast.  This show also includes guest cohost Jeff Gedert.  We talk a little about my time in Iceland (including the puffins!) as well as setting up some of the background to the interview.  This episode includes a special PSA on the subject of cults.
