Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient Mediterranean
Liv AlbertThe most entertaining and enraging stories from 'Classical' mythology (and, often, ancient history of the wider Mediterranean!) told casually, contemporarily, and (more often than not) sarcastically. The world of Greek mythology and the history of the wider ancient Mediterranean is full of wonder, horror, and utter hilarity. These myths and stories are timeless for a reason, they're just as releva... more

- Ancient Myths Brought to Colorful Life
I’ve always believed that myths are the original soap operas. Long before television, people were captured by stories of love, jealousy, revenge, impossible choices, heroes, monsters, and deeply flawed gods.
If you can tell those stories well, you’ll have my attention every time.
That’s exactly what Liz does in this podcast.
Liz has an obvious passion for mythology, and it comes through in every episode.
She doesn’t just retell ancient stories—she examines them, questions them, mentions diff... more

So excited to find a podcast about Greek mythology hosted by someone who is passionate about the topic. A great blend of information and commentary. Also, having a feminine voice presenting the masculine dominated genre is refreshing.
Apple Podcasts5BoglemiesterUnited Statesa month ago - Ya lost me
Yup. Men have a very long track record of treating women poorly, and we continue to do so. You’re 100% on the nose with that. But you make sweeping assumptions on how you assume we think. That’s sexist plain and simple. I didn’t find Nolan’s interpretation of Circe repulsive at all. I found it vindicating. If you’re a pig you’d consider her ugly, sure. But I found her home and her and her appearance and her actions beautifully portrayed. Odysseus’s men are not the good guys. That was literally... more

I love people, like the host of this podcast, whose whole lives revolve around a single agenda. Life becomes so simple for them. Much of what she says is illogical and removed from reality. Her review of The Odyssey is insane.

Australiaa month ago - Amazing podcast!
Discovered this podcast over a year ago when looking for ones to listen to as I’ve started a classics degree. This is easily my favourite one so I figured it’s about time I left a review!
Also special mention that as a trans woman, it’s so refreshing to have a podcast that supports trans people so passionately. It’s rare there’s a piece of media I can listen to and not have to worry about my identity being misrepresented or attacked. I know I’m safe here, and that’s not something I can often s... more
