Surviving Ragnarök: The Norse Myth of the Ultimate Apocalypse and Rebirth
Episode 1166
Wednesday, 9 July, 2025

What if the end was not a possibility, but a promise? In this episode, we delve deep into the epic Norse myth of Ragnarök, the prophesied "Twilight of the Gods." We journey from the first chilling signs of Fimbulwinter and the moral decay of the world, to the breaking of Fenrir's chains and the sounding of Heimdall's horn. Follow the final, fated battles of gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki against monstrous foes. Witness the destruction of the Nine Realms by fire and flood, and discover what—and who—rises from the ashes. Is this a story of ultimate despair, or one of profound, cyclical hope? Plus, stick around for our "Focus on Language" segment where we break down advanced vocabulary like "harbinger," "inexorable," and "Pyrrhic victory" to elevate your English, and offer a speaking challenge to help you master the art of storytelling.
