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

Canada18 days ago - Just the Girlies Gabbin’ Bout Mythology
I got into this podcast this summer, looking for something to listen to while I work. I became so engrossed and truly felt I was just sitting down for drinks with a good friend chatting about crazy stories of Greek mythology. Liv shines light on some rarely retold stories, the role of women in that ancient society, and just the goofy, wild lore that is SO fun to learn about. I’m almost caught up on episodes and will probably resort to listening again from the top bc I NEED MY FIX. Thanks for bei... more

United Kingdoma month ago - Xena Warrior Princess!
If you can get past the feminist nonsense and the fact she’s things like “I’m all for free speech… but” then it’s an ok podcast that covers a decent amount of Greek mythology. I know it’s not “real” mythos but I would actually love an episode or 10 on Xena warrior princess, I’m sure as a feminist the host would absolutely go weak in the knees for Xena and Gabriel.

Sadly, just like her generation females completely delusional about the intensity of infrastructure! Takes it all for granted and then abuses men for t... more
