  • 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.

  • Hermes Homerica: They're Making an Odyssey Movie & We Have Thoughts

    Hermes Homerica: They're Making an Odyssey Movie & We Have Thoughts
    Dec 31 2024

    In a special New Years Eve episode, Michaela and Liv discuss the news that Christopher Nolan is making an adaptation of the Odyssey... For the first time, this was recorded in person so the audio isn't ideal but there will be video available on the podcast's YouTube in the next couple of days.

    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.

  • RE-AIR: Holiday Special: Battle of the Bastards, Who's The Worst? Theseus vs. Jason

    RE-AIR: Holiday Special: Battle of the Bastards, Who's The Worst? Theseus vs. Jason
    Dec 24 2024

    Because it only seemed right, here's a holiday re-airing of 2022's inaugural Battle of the Bastards. (Yes, Michaela and I will make this an annual thing!) It's that time of year when I can't fathom writing another heavily researched script so here's me breaking down Theseus vs. Jason, mostly from memory. Who is the worst? Will the results be 50/50??

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.
