We hope you’re feeling as divinely inspired as we are in this episode about the Muses! We dive into their origins, their idiosyncrasies, and the role they play in both Ancient Greek society and our society today (and invent some of our own!)
We’re joined by editor extraordinaire and podcast pro, Mischa Stanton. And we brought a bunch of stories that are Mischa-coded: LARPing, summer camps, and unknowable pronouns. And of course, the logical conclusion to any story: Giant Doorknob.
Get your notepad ready to take notes, because we’re talking about the god Thoth! There’s games of chance, justice, cliffhangers, and so much more!
Hey Time Travelers, we’re diving back in time with the help of author Sacha Coward to talk about the intertwined history of queerness, monsters, and mythology!
We’re back from our tour, and even though none of the theatres we visited were haunted, we decided to do a dive into the most haunted theatres around the world!
The antidote we all need to April Fool’s Day is here: a roundup of wholesome stories from your lives about the ways you and your parents make your days more magical.
Let’s play a game of Never Have I Ever with the gods. We’re talking about Ma’at, the balance of the universe, and how we all play a role in upholding order from chaos.
Have you ever been haunted by an abandoned place? We are joined by multidisciplinary artist Blake Pfeil to talk about his experiences exploring abandoned places, how abandoned places are inherently queer, and why they haunt us the way they do.
The family that listens to Spirits together, stays together. Or that’s what we’re guessing after this follow up email we got! Also, are you up to the task of cleaning haunted hospitals at night?
The gods (and astrophysicist-folklorist Dr. McTier) are back to channel divine inspiration for YOUR questions. We cover it all, from jobs to housekeeping to dealing with sibling estrangement.
We’re a mythology podcast, so why are we talking to historian Fayge Horesh about a historical figure? Well, first off she’s not real. But secondly? She’s such a cool example of a hoax becoming a myth!
