Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: Pandora Live Q&A
Q: What attracted you to Xena and how did that shape your research?
My fascination with Xena grew from the blend of action, agency, and subtext about power and gender; organizing an international conference during the pandemic helped broaden perspectives on how viewers engage with myth through media.
Director's Cut: ECHO & NARCISSUS - The Influencer & The Follower
Q: Is Narcissus in fact a narcissist?
The discussion suggests that Narcissus is not a narcissist in the traditional sense, as he does not cause harm intentionally and is punished for rejecting affection rather than for self-aggrandizement.
BONUS - Archaeology: The Art of Interpreting Science
Q: What is the connection between archaeology and mythology?
Archaeology and mythology are intertwined as archaeology often helps us understand the cultural narratives and stories behind ancient civilizations, while mythology often serves as a lens through which archaeological findings are interpreted.
