    This podcast is amazing! You guys are hilarious while also being informative, and allow me to be the ultimate mythology nerd. You guys are the cool teacher I never had in school, and whenever you release an episode, I find an excuse to take the dog on a walk so I can listen. Keep doing what you’re doing, and don’t be like Zeus.

  • Delightful conversations about Greek Mythology from a pair of fantastic hosts. Though the focus is still on Rick Riordan’s series, the hosts do a great job of branching out into modern aspects of the myths and the gods. If you’re a fan of Greek Mythology, I recommend giving them a listen!
