  • Inspired and Literate

    I deeply enjoyed the most recent episode featuring stories from Lithuania. I’ve spent the last few years re-introducing myself to myth and have tried many different myth podcasts. They have all been insufferable compared to this show. The hosts are deeply versed in the stories told and mythic structure throughout time. Very impressed and a new dedicated listener for sure.

  • Amazing Tales

    Richard and Fr Damick always have wonderful insight into ancient and Medieval stories. They’re able to look at granular details while situating the story in a broader, Universal, context. This is the kind of stuff Christians have been neglecting for too long. I honestly can’t get enough of these stories and I keep adding books to my wish list! Keep up the good work guys.
