It's been a fantastic experience working with Rebecca so far and seeing the passion and dedication she puts into everything she does! We hope to continue supporting her and helping to raise the profile of independent creators in Kirklees.

If you're interested in Norse legends, whether through books, movies, TV shows or more, we highly encourage you to check out the Valhalla Conversations Podcast for engaging, in-depth discussions on history, mythology and how we view these stories today!

Had my first Mentoring session with Chris from Kirklees Local TV after attending their Digital Content day course at the end of July.

It felt so good to be able to talk about my hopes, dreams and challenges of being an indie podcastor whilst being a parent and still needing another job to pay the bills.

He was really understanding of the time, tech and skills needed for content creation such as podcasting. He was also remarkable patient listening to be express my passion for learning all things Norse and in particular about my research on Valkyries. He was genuinely interested in the article I'm working on.

We have founded a partnership between myself and KLTV so once I have hopefully succeeded in getting this article edited/rewritten to please the Peer Reviewers and hopefully officially accepted for publication in the Symposium volume - Then and really only then - can I begin working on bringing New Content to my YouTube channel. Which I'm really looking forward to creating and editing with the help of KLTV's own greenscreen studio!!!

I am still determined to bring out one new episode of Valhalla Conversations per month on Thors-Days.

Currently got 3 new VC guests booked for recordings this month into October PLUS a bonus episode following the hot topic of King & Conqueror. I am also contacting and inviting others too for future episodes that will take us into 2026!
