Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

Written by: Liv Albert and iHeartPodcasts

  • Summary

  • The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.

    CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Always good

Liv tells a good story, does great research and brings it all together... I love the conversations and loved the Atlantis series. Still catching up as I'm in mid 2022 for episodes. The newer episodes are more in depth and polished, but I think I enjoyed the first few months the most, the swearing and feminist comments certainly got more than a few chuckles. Liv produces a huge amount of content and I love it all. I'm looking forward to where ever she takes us next.
