What was it really like to be a Viking? In this episode of Who, When, Wow: Mystery Edition, Carly Q sets sail into one of history's most adventurous eras: the Viking Age. From massive longships cutting across the ocean to legendary explorers traveling farther than most people thought possible, Carly investigates the facts behind the myths and discovers what life was actually like for these famous seafarers. This mystery of history for kids is packed with time-travel adventure, laugh-out-loud moments, and surprising discoveries that'll have curious kids and their grown-ups seeing Vikings in a whole new way. If you love history podcasts for kids that blend critical thinking with big laughs, this one is a must-listen.

Carly Q—junior analyst at The Bureau of Universal Time Travel Historical Exploration Department (B.U.T.T.H.E.D)—doesn't let a few historical misconceptions get in the way of a good investigation. Armed with her trusty fact-finding device H-D.A.D. and a lot of curiosity, she heads back to the Viking Age to uncover the truth. Did Vikings really wear horned helmets? How far did they travel? And what do they have to do with the Bluetooth symbol on your phone? Carly Q is on the case.

Along the way, she'll climb aboard a Viking longship, try her hand at the ancient game of knucklebones (with less-than-impressive results), and learn about King Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson, the Viking ruler whose name still pops up on phones and speakers around the world. Between rough seas, rowdy crowds, and a few embarrassing bone-dropping moments, this journey is anything but smooth sailing.
