Mythillogical is the podcast where two enthusiasts of mythology, history and folklore try and make sense of the wide variety of fantastic tales told by cultures around the world. We discuss why the same idea can show up in the mythology of cultures on opposite sides of the world, what real events can inspire superstition and folklore, how stories can completely change over time, and where possible... more

  • Love this podcast! Very re-listenable!

    I found this show a couple years back and loved the dragons and King Arthur episodes. I spent last summer listening to most of their other episodes only to have life take hold and I fell off. Glad to be back and glad that the episodes have kept coming out! So excited to catch up and listen, then re-listen! The in depth discussion on this podcast is amazing, and the chemistry between the hosts provides very warm and cozy vibes. 10/10.

  • Intelligent, extensive, and funny take on mythologies

    Updating my review to add that I love Cassie’s spin off! It’s great to hear these deeper dives on a single story—keep them coming please!

    Absolutely love the depth of their research and cheeky delivery. Would love to hear their take on mythologies of indigenous cultures, those are relatively underrepresented stories to a larger audience and would be absolutely fascinating to explore.

  • Was Perfect

    This was one of the few podcasts I could genuinely recommend to anyone as a flawless show. Speakers were engaging to listen to and each episode was very well researched. Most of this is still true which is why I give it 4 stars. However, and I’ll never understand why people feel the need to do this (especially in business), they decided to get personal in the Santa Claus episode. It broke all character and immersion of the show for me and I honestly find it difficult to get back into it now. It’... more
