Oh hi! You’re back! You must have loved our first of the ‘Witch, Please!’ episodes, because you’ve come straight on over to part two! Right? If not, you should have, because in our totally objective opinion this is also a cracking episode. Have you ever wondered why the Romans hated Odysseus so much? Tune in to Part 2 to hear Sarah and Abi deliver a pretty accurate “performance” of hating the hero. But seriously, this episode looks at the potions of Circe, the poisonous nature of Erictho and the tradition of the witch. Ever desperately wondered how to relate Tony Abbott, former Australian PM and Opposition leader, to the Classics? Tune in to find out! (Spoiler alert: it’s misogyny)
