The History in 10 Podcast is back for season 2!

In this first episode, we're wrapping up what we started in Season 1: Danish history, but we're taking a bit of a different approach. Instead of going through each point in history and drawing it out like we're reading a history textbook, we're focusing on some interesting points in Danish history. 

Listen in as we talk about the Kalmar Union, how at one point anyone could become a noble, the history of Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous authors, Hans Christian Andersen, the Little Mermaid statue, and a few other interesting pieces of Danish history.
