I've recently talked about the much-remarked new article by Professor Henrik Williams (University of Uppsala) and colleagues about a new interpretation of Sweden's famous Rök runestone. Well now Professor Williams has reached out to me and we've arranged a Crowdcast where you'll have an opportunity to hear more from him about this research, and hopefully ask some questions about Rök and other runestones (this may be a somewhat shorter Crowdcast, however, so it's possible he won't be able to get to all questions).

Professor Henrik Williams is one of the world's leading runologists, and  has recently been in the news for the article he co-authored on a new  interpretation of the famous Rök runestone (readable at http://futhark-journal.com/rok/ ). See his profile at the University of Uppsala here: https://www.uu.se/en/news-media/researcher-profiles/henrik-williams/ and a selection of articles (mostly in Swedish) here: https://uppsala.academia.edu/HenrikWilliams

The Crowdcast will be on this Friday, 01/24, at 9:00 a.m. US Mountain time (that's 5:00 p.m. in Sweden, or check the Crowdcast link above for your local time). As usual, the event is Patreon-only and limited to 100 attendees, so register today at the link above if you can make it!

I really wanted to watch this but the same problem happened—when signing into Patreon to view the crowd cast it says my password or email is wrong. I’ve even changed the password but no help. Anyone else had this problem? And also, will this video go up onto the YouTube channel incase I’m still unable to view it through patreon?

The use of cryptographic schemes is always intended to limit reading to those able to decrypt the message. This presupposes that there are those who the writers wish to transmit the contents to and those who they wish to hide it from, in turn this implies a society in which it's not too hard to find someone literate. Amongst the family of the person had the Rök stone erected the message must have been understood and that knowledge likely handed down a few generations. It's likely that the knowledge would have slowly permeated the wider community. The people that the message would have been hidden from are strangers, to me this seems just those from whom the writer would have wanted to keep the contents. Additionally I find the link to Anglo-Saxon riddles exciting.

I do put all the Crowdcasts up on Youtube afterwards. As far as the Crowdcast problem you're having, you might check with Patreon's help center: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us
