In Norse mythology, Loki has a place of his own. Taken into Asgard as an infant, he grew under the protection of Odin. Rival and friend of Thor, he prefers illusions to sheer force. His magical talents are very useful in Asgard. Little by little, however, Loki turns evil and his tricks do not amuse anyone anymore. In the end, the god of discord will turn against the other gods fighting Ragnarök.Texts: Julie Gouazé, Clément LesaffreVoices: Lance Geiger, James BrackProduction: Axelle Gobert, Clément LesaffreProduction assistant: Aimie FaconnierRecording: Théo Albaric, Marec PanchotMixing and editing: Alexandre FerreiraSpeakers: Annelie Jarl Ireman, Gísli Sigurdson, Eric LaceyDubbing: Elisabeth WautletInternational adaptation: VSI, MaremotoInternational coordination: Martin StahlOriginal music: David SpinelliPre-existing music: Stephanie Economou, Einar SelvikIllustration: ProdigiousExecutive producers: Lorenzo Benedetti, Louis Daboussy, Benoit Dunaigre, Julien Fabre, Etienne BouvierUbisoft: Etienne Allonier, Aymar Azaizia, Céline Brillouet, Leslie Capillon, Louis Raynaud, Justine VilleneuveAn original Ubisoft series, produced by Paradiso MediaIf you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.To find out more go to website or find us on Facebook& Twitter.Hosted on Acast.
