Shawn and David publish their first episode discussing the "Saga of the Volsungs". However, as opposed to starting from the top with the origins of the family, the pair decided to discuss the origins of another important character in the story. Specifically, Fafnir the Dragon. The pair felt this was the right story to start this series as the its beginning details an adventure between our friends Odin, Hoenir, and Loki. Spoiler alert, Loki screws up, and though he fixes the problem for his companions, the family of Hreidmar and his son's are screwed as a result.
They also discuss how the dragon of Fafnir and a cursed ring he possesses is clearly where JRR Tolkien got his inspiration for the dragon Smaug from "The Hobbit". Also, some connections to Gollum could be made as well.
