Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! A Greek & Roman Mythology Podcast
228 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 4 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2.5K ratingsThe 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. This isn't your average storytelling podcast: Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the insane things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. I mean, how did they come up with this stuff? Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between.
