Vikings in narration with author Gregory Amato
Episode 5
Saturday, 29 November, 2025
Amina and Mathias sat down with author Gregory Amato. He is the author of the book series Spear of the Gods, which takes place in the Viking Age. Gregory Amato has strong opinions about how authors represent the Viking Age and Vikings. He is not fond of the stereotypes and toxic masculinity that are often a part of contemporary narration of the Viking Age. Instead, Gregory writes Viking Age fiction from a perspective that respects the diversity of the time and selects period specific values that he aligns with to promote through his characters.
