The latest episode of Elsie's Little Pickles takes you on a wild historical journey linking the Vikings to the Fifty Shades of Grey book series. Hosts Steve, Kiefer, and Colton dive into a discussion that begins with the Norse people expanding from their inhospitable homeland, the influence and establishment of dynastic rule in England, through the world-altering shifts of World War I and II, all the way to the cultural ripple effects of 9/11. This chain of events surprisingly leads to the creation of popular modern literature, fueled by an unexpected inspiration from events witnessed on 9/11 by future My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. Join us for this unexpected and intriguing conversation connecting seemingly unrelated historical dots.
