much obliged

Thank you for the info.

jeff tiensivu Thanks.

[@grayblackhelm6468]

Thank you much.

[@mackdmara]

A free recording, made by volunteers, & most of the comments are to the bad quality? Maybe one of you know a recording studio & Morgan Freeman? This recording is worth far more than I payed for it. Thank you very much Expatriate for taking the time, with the best setup you have, to make it freely available to all.

[@Luka1180]

Good microphones are not too expensive anymore.

[@unclehraefnar]

Honestly, I'd happily volunteer my voice. I'm hoping to get into a voice acting career, and volunteering to do readings for people could help me get a portfolio of a sort, started. I have a powerful voice.

[@unclehraefnar]

I appreciate Expatriate too.

[@trueshipsxxx2018]

You are absolutely right! Some people are just downright rude and demanding.

[@Luka1180]

@@trueshipsxxx2018 Yeah right, whatever.

Thank you and may odins blessings lift your days for enlightening us with the history of the gods

As a visually impaired person, I thank You so much! The world needs more videos Like these

[@payupich]

Thank you for taking the time to do this

[@ztaylor583]

Thank you very much for the time you took to make this. May the God's and Goddesses watch over you in life.

[@adirondackbladesmith1895]

Thank you for this. I like to keep these stories in my head. Its hard to read while working

[@JoachimderZweite]

Good luck staying awake during the introduction.

[@moonboy2022]

lol

[@trueshipsxxx2018]

That's actually the most interesting part. So glad the Tube caters to all of our different tastes ✌️and thankful that someone took their time n recorded this so meticulously!

[@joeymoffett00]

It's so long

[@gcanaday1]

Introduction(s). It might have been better to issue the introduction to each in turn with reading them.

[@ganis9679]

😂👍🏼

[@Timebend2025]

Thank you, this is a great gift. I appreciate it emensly. Be Blessed by Odin

[@kennethyarbrough9975]

This was awesome! Thank you for this! 10/10

[@carlwilson9830]

You could argue that Odinn would thrive on scholars having a WAR OF WORDS. I work with the Runestones in Northan England, Yorkshire Gods' own County. it is a beautiful place to live and our Germanic history and Gods are the same as the Norse "Happy Tyrs'day"

[@Jesseleewv]

3:46:37 is the beginning of the Edda

[@roumonada]

Is he saying “Jotun” or “KZbin”?

[@joshuacoburn8140]

Good information in the introduction, but in-case you want the three-hour-and forty-five minutes of your life back, and only want to hear the poem, it begins at 3:45.

[@Welther47]

Im gonna read it myself, cause this is hard to stay focused on.

[@Crazy_Rich_Asian]

Welther47 yeah, I hear you man, very hard to focus.

[@mrvinyl-mrchili9583]

Same here

[@thunorwodenson]

Edda begins at 226:49

[@BG-ef7ph]

Thank you

[@NomadicDave2032]

Damn long winded 3 hours and some thing before the Edda even starts...

[@johnnywalker2880]

Yeah. Rather good introduction. Top stuff!

[@HatmanXIIX]

For those interested in the history it's an amazing intro

[@juantatagata]

This recording skips the Vóluspá

[@nikoknowledge6660]

I actually really enjoyed the preface given, really clears up what we are listening to. And the non-canonical madness that is mythology.

[@john2014]

This was great. I listened while doing yard work.

[@TaweretSekhmet]

[@guilhermesilveira5254]

Great book about nordic culture.

[@AMRARDvermebrungruppe]

It's tragic that our little children grow up learning about Noah and Jesus instead of hearing this.

[@merxmiller7469]

Thank you very much.

[@Fleshaga]

The Viking capitol was actually in Sweden. "Visby".

[@morganmassa2207]

Thank you!

[@spookepicgamermommie7302]

Thank you so much for thus im so happy i found this

[@Mr357robbie]

The query ventured in the book concerning the pervasiveness of the archetypical sacrifice and resurrection has but one massive obstacle that must be hurdled prior to that answer becoming common knowledge.......He who speaks does not know and He who knows does not speak!

I wanna watch 'Friends' now.

[@Lina-after-dark]

Thank you.

[@ErukanuSenpai]

I'm here because of Ragnarok Online, which peaked my interest in Norse Mythology 🧐

[@nathanhallowell5632]

Good looking out doing this bro. Nothing bad to say other than you could sound more interested in what you're talking about. Sounds like you're bored and or tired. Just constructive criticism nothing spiteful. Skol!

[@triggeraddict]

Dude is from Maine thats how the talk

[@VasiliosBakagias]

Hail Odin!

[@leonardorivera8349]

It's better than Disney Star Wars and this was written in the 9th century....

[@mrvinyl-mrchili9583]

No written in the 1200s on Island.

[@Luka1180]

@@mrvinyl-mrchili9583 But the poems themselves are far older than this written form. Before they were written down (in the 1200s aka the 13th century) they were simply passed on orally through skaldic song and music.

[@leonardorivera8349]

Thank you everyone how took place in this audio book... Fenrir kicks aeser and vanir ass!!!!!!!

[@henniedreyer2058]

Do not understand this. Help please?

[@leonardorivera8349]

I love the Eddas!!!!!!!

[@isitover9010]

Is he saying Asgarth?

[@Jabatafu]

It’s a variation of the name. In Old Norse it’s called “Ásgarðr” (‘ð’ = soft ‘th’). In English, we often replace ‘ð’ with ‘d’.

[@brianaschmidt910]

almost four hours long fudge!

[@Luka1180]

Can someone please redo this? Perhaps with a better microphone too?

[@ChrisMorgan92]

Possibly :) Send me a PM if you want updates

[@erwineichmann6959]

Lukas Sprehn you gonna buy them one?

[@Luka1180]

+erwin eichmann Decent microphones are not as expensive today as they used to be.

[@Luka1180]

@T8RTotz09 Nope. It’s a simple question. You always get furthest in life if you just ask. You’d be surprised how far you can get.

[@slutteebitc]

Why not do it yourself?

[@scottmckenzie4635]

I wish they didn't go through the introduction every freaking chapter, why?

[@aneveningwithebola2727]

It's the way Librivox does things. On their website, each chapter is its own audio file.

[@Lordveine]

Omg he started speaking from the troath instead of only the nose! Wooooohooooooo!

[@JustYaeWendt]

SSITH 😊🙌💞

[@genkiferal7178]

the narrator's voice and tone is very off-putting to the point of being disrespectful to the poem and German culture. Has anyone found another video or podcast of this ?

[@tracieperow9708]

Bangor Maine hahaha im from Jacksonville but i be in Freeport Maine maybe i can meet the expatriate

[@hashnotall6263]

God I hate librivox. There's almost as much "This is a librivox recording," spiel in their audio as there is content. They have the worst narrators on Earth, it'll be some dude with some affectation using two tin cans and a piece of string to record lisping and blasting plosives that'll make your ears bleed.

[@Lina-after-dark]

You sound like you licked a sidewalk for breakfast.

[@Frankrs3d]

WTF I thought this was an Audiobook?

[@Roma-rusk]

Why tf the dude in the introduction sound like ross from friends.

[@roumonada]

The reader’s nerdy whine and mispronunciations are so distracting, I can’t go past 27:00

[@Go-Dawgs]

This is horrible, the introduction is so dang long no person wishing to hear the stories would stay here. Find another site with the Sagas

[@TheJOE13201]

Any recommendations?

[@shapinito3544]

OpinEdda = OdinEdda

[@Xpegasus-]

What a **** introduction is longer dan the book it self 😂

[@hellbilly1373]

This is a Librivox recording. So it is narrated by the most boring voice ever. A terrible way to tell these great works of art. The Gods frown upon you !

[@erwineichmann6959]

hellbilly1373 if you have any more suggestions of similar things, more entertaining or not, please tell me. It is very hard for me to find eddas and sagas. Just commentaries on them.

[@Luka1180]

Wish there was a better free recording done by someone who can actually narrate and read without sounding so weird and monotone.

I can't listen to this guy... it's awful, never let an American accent near the Edda's

[@brandon_crow1291]

Nah, just don't let someone with a boring voice near them. His is like nails on a chalk board.
