  • Joyous Brain Food

    Exactly what you want from a podcast. Informative, thoughtful, laugh out loud funny at times. The weaving of so many cultural elements (movies, operas, art, books) across the span of human history inspired and informed by the myths ties the whole package into a perfect present for your brain. Bravo.

  • Incredible ❤️

    Thank you Alex for this! It appeared to be an amazing follow up to Stephen Fry’s books on Greek myths that I’ve been reading recently.

    Do you, by any chance, know anyone who does something similar with buddhistic myths? 🫶🙏
