38: Episode 38 - The Theft of Mjolnir
October 05, 2021 20:07 - 1 hour - 71.9 MB'Thrymskvitha,' or the Theft of Mjolnir, is a myth that has everything: Thor, Thor angry, Thor blaming Loki, Thor having to dress in women's clothes...but maybe this story is really about a giant who is just looking for a little love, or how you should never underestimate a 'woman's' appetite...or maybe, how it's not really Loki's fault (it totally is). *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Original Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and sp...
37: Episode 37 - No bull, Zeus!
September 28, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBIt's another triggery, rage-inducing Zeus-is-a-super-dick-and-not-in-a-good-way story. It even has more bovine elements. Seriously, the ancient Greeks are just plagiarizing themselves at this point. But come along for the really long ride/swim of the tale of Europa (who probably read Ferdinand the Bull one too many times as a kid), and why someone needs to explain to Zeus what "animal husbandry" actually means. The Patreon bonus episode on Friday will pick up the one kinda cool part of this...
36: Episode 36 - Riddle Me This
September 21, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 75.8 MBOriginal Gen clearly has it in for our listeners because it's another reading. This week, it's Vafthruthnismal, or Odin's contest with the Riddle-Weaver. It's a Ravenclaw-off between OG and Other Jenn as they struggle through the worst riddles ever. Cait channels Frigg, who was just done with Odin from the get-go. Also, head over to our PATREON for a bonus 7 minutes (not in heaven) of DRUNK TECHNOLOGY GALS. It all starts with Cait calling Odin a sad rye cracker and ends with Other Jenn tryi...
35: Episode 35 - Hera's Anger Management Class
September 14, 2021 07:00 - 56 minutes - 51.8 MBThis one is gonna make you mad. Almost as mad as Cait. Basically, Zeus is caught f*cking someone who isn't Hera (SURPRISE!), Hera needs anger management, and at the "tail" (haha) end of summer, we all feel bad for the heifer with the pest problem. Oh, and Prometheus makes a cameo, because, why not? *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

34: Episode 34 - Reginsmal: Otter You Doing? (BONUS UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE!)
September 07, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBThis special UNLOCKED PATREON EPISODE is a continuation of our conversation (drunken rambling) with Cat Rector, author of "The Goddess of Nothing at All." Original Gen forces us to do a live reading of the myth about Loki and an otter. And just to be up front, it doesn't end well for Loki or the otter, and it's all Loki's fault. When is it not? But, along the way, we get lots of drunken shouting (both in the text and from the gals), questions about why there are so many fish, and general ma...
33: Episode 33 - The Cat with a Book
August 31, 2021 21:50 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBThis week we have our FIRST guest…author Cat Rector, who joins us to talk about her debut novel “The Goddess of Nothing at All,” Norse mythology, Sigyn as a force to be reckoned with, and domestic Loki—his favorite aprons are discussed. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

32: Episode 32 - The F*cking Tropical Island
August 24, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBThis week, I'm taking you to a hot beachside paradise where the women are goddesses and the boys are hot...and dead. On a semi-regular basis. That's right. We're talking the original cougar and her pool boy: Aphrodite and Adonis! This myth has everything - multiple origin stories, guest appearances by myths we've talked about, Zeus fucking things up (but surprisingly not fucking anything), incest (surprise!), a wooden chest (WTF), androgyny, and fucking OVID. Oh, and death. *** From Olympu...
31: Episode 31 - The One with the Horse
August 17, 2021 17:49 - 1 hour - 74.1 MBYou know how we say don't drive cars, chariots, or eight-legged horses? Well, this one is about the eight-legged horse. And spoiler, it's because of Loki. Save your shocked faces—we know. Get ready for gender and genetic mutations, why Jotunheim is a Starbucks, how to build a wall (nothing is new), and general...wait for it...horsing around. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine te...
30: Episode 30 - The Olympics..."Part 3"
August 13, 2021 19:31 - 1 hour - 60 MBYeah, yeah, the Olympics are over. This episode is late. But it's been a hell of a week. I had surgery this week and have pain-med-induced spots and pink elephants dancing before my eyes as I type this. Blame typos on the meds. Anyway. We finish the Olympic thing with scandals and the actual sports of the ancient games. And on Patreon, we get into women and the games, or why misogyny never changes. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other J...
29: Episode 29 - The Olympics..."Part 2"
August 03, 2021 07:01 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBForget Coachella. Forget Sochi. The REAL Olympic attendance experience (and why I will never go to a music festival) was an endurance sport all on its own. Can you make it through camping with a crowd of 40,000 with no shade, no running water, and dubious snack carts (commemorative drinking cup included)? *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea! If you'd like to support our podc...
28: Episode 28 - The Olympics..."Part 1"
July 27, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBSports massages, bureaucracy, and locker room antics. Yup, it's time for the 179th Olympiad! Oh, I'm sorry, you thought we were talking about the Tokyo Olympics? These are the Olympics, Drunk Mythology Gals-style: ancient, Greek, and naked. Also, Zeus is an attention hog. Check out our Patreon for early, ad-free episodes and bonus Deep Dives! This week, we "uncover" the reality behind WHY the ancient Olympics put college streaking to shame! *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the good...
27: Episode 27 - Loki and Other Jenn's Goat Farm
July 16, 2021 20:07 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBIt’s the last Loki…for now. SFX Kim joins in for a special guest appearance. Original Gen is looking for a new purpose in life (not really, she’s just hunting season 2 details). Other Jenn is busy counting ALL THE POMPEIAN GOATS she won. And Cait can’t get past her rage at Hogwarts on a planetoid with stupid gravity rules. Also, don't forget that we keep going on the 190 Proof episode! The final weekly Hiddles handprn update, Hiddles hair season 2 clues, and the gals get lost somewhere in t...
26: Episode 26 - MVP LokiGator
July 12, 2021 23:35 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBWe're late with this episode, and it's all Cait's fault. She was in the hospital last week with a kidney infection (she's fine now, unfortunately), and we recorded this after she got home (but was still pretty out of it, so ignore whatever she says). While Original Gen and Cait will never agree about green vs red GATORade, the important thing though is that all the DMG gals are still 100 percent Team LokiGator...with the exception of Original Gen's newfound love of Classic Loki (aka Spandex...
25: Episode 25 - Loki and the Lokis
July 02, 2021 20:29 - 1 hour - 87.1 MBThis week's episode is a terrible game of actions and consequences, and then the gals get around to talking about Episode 4 of Loki. There are definitely NO mentions of the stupidest moon ever, no mentions at all. The gals struggle between love and hate with the highs (KNEEL!, Sif, and Team B-15!) and lows (why do the scripts feel like they were chopped up by the Swedish Chef on a wild LSD trip, and speaking of muppets, why does one of the Time Keepers look like the Lorax?). Also, don't fo...
DEEP DIVE PREVIEW - "The Jung and the Restless"
June 26, 2021 22:12 - 4 minutes - 3.87 MBPart therapy, part MIND BLOWN, and part bitchy academic catfight: this episode has it all. The gals make Jungian archetype developmental theory FUN! Why were Freud and Jung such "aca-divas"? Why is everything an archetype? And why is Other Jenn crying? Here's a preview of our first Deep Dive episode.

24: Episode 24 - Loki and the Stupid Planet
June 25, 2021 18:52 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBDisney's Loki episode 3 kinda drives the gals up a wall. On the one (Hiddleston) hand, we get THE TRAIN SCENE and a landmark canon nod to LGBTQ. On the other (non-Hiddleston) hand, we get the rest of the episode, including the dumbest planetary evacuation ever. Also, don't forget that we go another FULL HOUR on the 190 Proof episode! All the Hiddles handprn (hello, shirt cuffs), and Professor Cait laying the smackdown on Lamentis-1. Because clearly, the giant chunks of planet falling down ...
23: Episode 23 - Loki and the Tour de France
June 18, 2021 18:51 - 1 hour - 66.5 MBLoki is driving the gals off the deep end of comic book conspiracy theories. Does Other Jenn really know the truth about Ravonna? Why are Cait and Original Gen arguing about the identity of the "Lady Loki" at the end? Why is Mobius such a dick in this episode? And why are the gals betting with Pompeiian goats? Also, don't forget that we go another FULL HOUR on the 190 Proof episode! All the Lokis, Hiddles hands, and live rabbit hole diving into the symbolism of the G string and what Exxon w...
22: Episode 22 - Loki and the TPS Report
June 12, 2021 00:04 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBWE KNEW IT! The quickest way to crush Loki's soul is to make him work a desk job. This week, we pick up the pieces of Original Gen's brain from the explosion after the first episode of Disney+ Loki. You know you've watched it and are dying to talk about all the awkward things, and WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! Also, don't forget that we go another FULL HOUR on the 190 Proof episode! Because OMG, yeah, we went there. Conspiracy theories, plot guessing, and extreme t*ddy analysis are ALL THERE: patreo...
21: Episode 21 - Loki's Rope Trick
June 08, 2021 07:00 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MBSend in the goats. The gals discuss that time Skadi, the Jotun giantess, crashes the party of the gods and Loki is tasked with making her laugh. Of course, Loki has an emergency goat for just such an occasion. Also, who has the prettiest feet in all of Asgard? Apparently not who you think... *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

20: Episode 20 - In for a Penelope, in for a Pound
June 01, 2021 18:53 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBIt's week three of celebrating tricksters in mythology (and obvy, part of Lokipalooza!). Today, we are going to hear a tale of why learning to sew is important, why you should never be a douchey houseguest, and why carpentry is sexy. It's time for the tale of Penelope, badass princess of Sparta, single mom, and a crafter that would make her #1 on Pinterest. Oh, she's also the wife of Odysseus. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn,...
19: Episode 19 - The Original Norse Trickster?
May 25, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBOdin: Allfather, One-Eyed, Hat-Wearer...Obviously a guy with over 200 names is up to a bit of trickery, but does he qualify as a trickster figure? The gals discuss and evidence is presented. Of course, we are still scratching our heads over a surprise interruption mid-way through the episode by Odin himself. Apparently, Loki isn't the only one who is up to a bit of mischief in Asgard, or on our podcast. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the ...
18: Episode 18 - The Guile Girdle
May 18, 2021 07:00 - 45 minutes - 42 MBThe gals are celebrating Lokipalooza this week with part 1 of a 4-part series on tricksters in mythology. Cait successfully avoids the rabbit hole of Jungian archetypes, Other Jenn crosses boundaries to be #TeamGreek this week, and Original Gen is now sad...like Loki. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, and the Other Jenn as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

17: Episode 17 - Fenrir is a Good Boi
May 11, 2021 07:00 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBFenrir has a craving that only hands can satisfy—and with good reason. The Aesir gods are up to no good and want to play a game with Fenrir...can he break their super, special, not-at-all-suspicious rope? Or, will he end up in a similar fate as his father, Loki? We explore the Fenrir Wolf, his parents, siblings, and the fact that he and Odin will never get along. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, and the Other Jenn as they spike and spill al...
16: Episode 16 - Gen is not Impressed
May 04, 2021 07:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MBHappy May the Fourth - or Whatever Day, according to Original Gen. Listen as Cait and Other Jenn try to convince Original Gen that there is mythological value to Star Wars. Will they sway Original Gen into accepting this as modern mythology? Will they bring Original Gen over to the Dark Side? WILL THERE BE COOKIES?

15: Episode 15 - Venus is a Troll
April 27, 2021 07:00 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MBWhat do you get when an incel sculptor decides to make his own blow-up doll and a randy Roman decides to write about it? Hint: a myth that sends Cait over the edge with rage. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, and the Other Jenn as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

13: Episode 13 - Worst Orgy Ever
April 13, 2021 07:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBCait counts down the top 10 ancient Greek aphrodisiac foods. And, no matter what anyone says, bad breath and farting are NOT sexy. Also included: Zeus (no surprise) acts like a jerk.

12: Episode 12 - An Ol' Fashioned River Roast
April 06, 2021 07:00 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBSometimes Norse myth is about Ragnarok. Other times it's just two guys screaming insults at each other across a river. Enjoy a dramatic reading of "The Hárbarðsljóð," or Harbard, a poem from the Poetic Edda where a ferryman (who is totally not Odin) roasts Thor and ruins his day. Thor is angry and confused. In other news, WE HAVE A NEW CO-HOST! The Other Jenn has joined us to question everything and drink vodka. Head over to our website to learn more about all three of us! From Olympus to...
11: Episode 11 - The Great P*nis Party
March 30, 2021 07:00 - 6 minutes - 6.39 MB*The final renovations placeholder! Yup, and the episode we are reworking is gonna be worth it. This is Dionysus approved, baby! Party like it's 499 BCE! What do theater nerds, baguettes, and venereal disease all have in common? It's Dionysus, the original god of Netflix and chill (with wine). *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

10: Episode 10 - Revenge of the Dwarves
March 23, 2021 17:13 - 5 minutes - 4.89 MB*Only one more episode to re-record! And trust us, this one is worth it because we get the patron saint of our podcast: the glittery glowing boar! (Blessed be his name. Under his hoof). Pt 2 of How Thor got his Hammer...A rousing game of Secret Santa is played (spoiler: Odin was not having that golden boar), but the fun ends when Brokkr the Dwarf—who makes Grumpy pale in comparison—whips out the needle and thread. Loki's bad day gets worse. Then again, when doesn't it? *** From Olympus t...
9: Episode 9 - Zeuspocalypse 1.0
March 16, 2021 07:00 - 6 minutes - 5.87 MB*You KNOW you want to wait for the re-recording of this, just because you want Other Jenn's reaction to the second worst boat ever. And, no one likes bad audio...which is why we're fixing it. Move over, Ragnarok, there's a new apocalypse in town. Or, maybe it's an old apocalypse. In any case, it has to do with the creation of the first man and first woman, the second worst boat ever, and why the ancient Greeks really should have bought flood insurance. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we'...
8: Episode 8 - How Thor got his Hammer
March 09, 2021 08:00 - 7 minutes - 6.99 MB*Yes, this was funny with just Cait and Original Gen. But just think how much funnier it's going to be with Other Jenn joining in! Hang in there. We are re-recording these as fast as we can! One day, Loki woke up and chose mischief...which did not end well for him. Or Sif. But definitely for Thor, who got a sweet, sweet hammer out of the deal, among other "interesting" gifts. A rousing game of "White Elephant" is played among the gods. "Anyone want to trade for this golden boar? It's defini...
7: Episode 7 - Pandora's Playlist
March 02, 2021 17:42 - 7 minutes - 6.96 MBDeath, despair...and some really nice jewelry. Part whatever-I-don't-even-know-anymore of the Greek creation myths. But at least this time we get the creation of woman. Say what you will, ancient Greeks, but I think we're a total step-up from a civilization of all men...and some goats. *** From Olympus to Valhalla, we've got the goods on the gods, so join Cait, Gen, the Other Jenn, and SFX Kim as they spike and spill all the divine tea!

6: Episode 6 - An Impromptu BBQ
February 23, 2021 12:00 - 7 minutes - 6.58 MB*No snacks were harmed in the production of this "renovation" minisode. We'll put out the updated episode just as soon as Other Jenn stops playing with her chainsaw. "You're not you when you're hungry" - Loki, probably. Thiazi just wanted to ruin three gods' BBQ and gain some golden apples. He never expected to BECOME BBQ. Idunn just wanted to stay in her apple grove. This plan did not work out for her. P.S. As promised, here's the link to the blog Cait wrote where she gets rage-y (surpr...
5: Episode 5 - WTF, Zeus?
February 16, 2021 15:17 - 56 minutes - 51.7 MBThe Gals kick off the new year by revisiting the multi-part origin story of the Greeks. Totally metal humans, Zeus gets ideas (yikes), and Prometheus is definitely a middle child. Yup, it's part 3 of the Greek creation myth! And how do Highlights magazine and the pineapple from the tv show Psych fit in? You’ll just have to listen to find out. This episode is a redo of Episode 5 (the original audio was seriously meh, and there was no Other Jenn!). And if you’re curious about the puzzle w...
4: Episode 4 - Voluspa, a Ragna-Rocking Prophecy
February 09, 2021 12:00 - 5 minutes - 5.14 MB*Yup, it's placeholder letting you know what this episode is about...kind of like a prophecy, because...why not? We're doing some renovations around here, and an updated version of this episode will be up soon! All good things must come to an end, except Odin has objections. Somehow being foretold by a witch that you're going to be lunch for a gigantic wolf isn't appealing. If you want to hear the original HOT MESS, join our Patreon. You get to subject yourself to our early recordings, bu...
3: Episode 3 - Attempted Patricide is the New Black
February 02, 2021 12:00 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MB*No, it's not a cruel joke that this episode is only 4 minutes long. The actual episode is under renovation and will be up soon. In the meantime, enjoy this little amuse-bouche. You know Cronos would. It's part 2 of the Greek creation myth: daddy issues, again with the hundred-handed giants, and WTF I AM CHANNELING MY INNER GORDON RAMSAY BECAUSE WTF HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO NOT BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SWALLOWING A BABY AND A STONE? If you want to hear the original HO...
2: Episode 2 - Udderly Salty
January 26, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBPicture this: a giant, a cow, and a boy band stroll into the limitless void of Ginnungagap. Tjhis is the moment when Norse mythology said to Greek mythology, “Hold my mead!” Norse creation has its own brand of cosmic shenanigans, and they're serving up eyebrow-raising eyebrow fortifications! Join us as we journey through Yggdrasil, the mighty World Tree, and discover how a cow became the unsung hero of creation. Because let's face it, when you're starting creation from scratch, you need all...
1: Episode 1 - The Big Greek Bang
January 19, 2021 12:00 - 38 minutes - 35.5 MBGet ready to laugh until you cry (or cry until you laugh) as we attempt to make sense of the hot mess that is the Greek mythology creation story. Picture this: Chaos lounging in the void with nothing but a bag of wind-eggs for entertainment. Why wind-eggs? Apparently, that's just Chaos's idea of a good time. There’s also the epic showdown between Gaia, the Earth, and Uranus, the sky, as they engage in the ultimate celestial cage fight. And let's not forget about the giants (why are there ...
