#14 - Vikings: How historical drama can end up being less accurate than fantasy

The History Channel’s biggest home grown hit Vikings is now on its 5th series. It started as a historical drama but by season 3 it was clearly trying to be Game of Thrones with longships. NEON takes this to task, if you have a degree in medieval history you can tell when they change the tone, but could the average viewer. Is this kind of disregard for real events dangerous?

Have a listen to find out.Written & Presented by Jem DuducuProduced by Dan MorelleMusic: Massive Attack - TeardropBe awesome, support us on PatreonSubscribe to the podcast on iTunes and follow us on Twitter.
