The 13th Warrior Movie Review

One extra goody to round out 2025! Patrick had the extreme pleasure of sitting down with Jamie (Jammy History), Madi (Spill The Mead), and TK (For The Love Of History). They took a look at the 1999 action adventure, The 13th Warrior.  The "A Little Love for Jammy & Mead" gang delve into this 90s flop, that deserved a little bit better. Join us for a lot of laughs, and a ton of fun!   And once you're done listening to this (and your love affair with Herger the Joyous), check out our guests' shows via the links below:   The Jammy History Podcast https://thejammyhistorypodcast.buzzsprout.com [https://thejammyhistorypodcast.buzzsprout.com/]   Spill the Mead https://linkpop.com/spillthemead [https://linkpop.com/spillthemead]   For the Love of History https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveof_historypodcast/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/fortheloveof_historypodcast/?hl=en]   https://www.fortheloveofhistorypod.com/about [https://www.fortheloveofhistorypod.com/about]   https://youtube.com/@ForTheLoveofHistorypod [https://youtube.com/@ForTheLoveofHistorypod]   https://open.spotify.com/show/6SjwlXC5e8uvPxXE8siyEZ?si=1f813135bad1471c [https://open.spotify.com/show/6SjwlXC5e8uvPxXE8siyEZ?si=1f813135bad1471c]   https://podcasts.apple.com/jp/podcast/for-the-love-of-history-world-history-womens/id1506003489?l=en-US [https://podcasts.apple.com/jp/podcast/for-the-love-of-history-world-history-womens/id1506003489?l=en-US]

Ep. 43. The Epic of Mwindo (Part 3)

The third and final installment of the Epic of Mwindo is here! Join Patrick and Matthew for the Season 2 finale, as we wrap up the increasingly vivid and amazing tale of Mwindo's journey in search of his father. We've got more underworld shenanigans, some whistle-blowing deities, a strangely described pig, and, of course, a 7 headed dragon! All this, and much more, in part 3 of the Epic of Mwindo.      Season 3 is in the works, and it will bring about a bit of a change with the show. Moving away from mythology and folklore, Patrick will be guiding us through the fascinatingly turbulent period following the death of Alexander the Great and the men and women who vied for control of his massive empire. We hope to see you there!       KangaCuffs (available soon)   Visit the website: www.kangacuffs.com [http://www.kangacuffs.com] Find them on Instagram: @kanga_cuffs email them at: hello@kangacuffs. com [hello@kangacuffs]   For all A Little History info visit: https://linktr.ee/ALHpodcast [https://linktr.ee/ALHpodcast]   Source: “The Mwindo Epic from the Banyanga” by Daniel Biebuyck   Source is online archive (read for free) [Epic starts pg. 40]  https://archive.org/details/mwindoepicfromba0000unse/page/41/mode/1up?view=theater [https://archive.org/details/mwindoepicfromba0000unse/page/41/mode/1up?view=theater]
