  • Welcome to Hwaet! - the podcast that literally nobody was asking for but, in 2021, the year that just keeps on giving, here it is for you now: all 3,182 alliterative lines of Beowulf, recited in the original Anglo Saxon, with (very) crude translation and historical notes by your ill-educated but extremely passionate guide, Olivia Bell. Let's begin.
