Prof. Chris Forth of the University of Kansas joins us to discuss all things Hyperborea. We're covering the bunk to de-bunk. And, as is the remit of this show, we shall travel in many directions.

However, we do start with what Hyperborea literally means; historic roots in writings and legends/myths; and we move into more modern interpretations.

Alon the way, we visit the Greeks. Conan the Barbarian, Lovecraft, Helena Blavatsky, Nazis, Agartha, and the list goes on. We get fairly current with how notions of Hyperborea feed into a "white" origin of man and into the Right Wing echosystem. I spend way too much time thinking about the potential of Pete Hegseth having tatoos mapping portals on Greenland as part of foreign policy. Trust me, I tie it all up neatly in a flawless logical bow. Or I don't. You judge, 

For the record, I wanted to use the word Sybilene, but never quite found the right time.
