Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! is a Greek and Roman mythology podcast.
But it’s not your average mythology podcast, this one is told by a 30-something Millennial with a penchant for cursing and a feminist attitude. The stories are deeply researched, thoroughly told, and they don’t hold back on the details that have been sugarcoated and treated with kid gloves over the millennia. Myths of the ancient world are examined through a modern intersectional feminist lens, focusing where possible on amplifying the voices of women, trans, and non-binary people.
There’s violence, assault, and so, so many gods transforming into animals to have their way with [insert sentient being of your choice]. Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! is casual and equal parts fun but knowledgeable. The show will leave you with a deeper understanding of the myths and the people who told them those many, many years ago.

Atlantis Special Series
The story of Atlantis has captivated the world for centuries. Maritime archaeological discoveries are attributed to Atlantis and searches for the lost city are widely publicized. For centuries Atlantis has been considered everything from myth to history to a vast conspiracy of archaeological subterfuge when in fact it’s none of those things… but the truth is much more interesting.
In this special series Liv breaks down the ancient sourcing on Atlantis and speaks with archaeologists to provide listeners with in depth knowledge of the idea of the lost city of Atlantis: the archaeological facts and ancient sources, and how modern notions of Atlantis and similar ideas harm the study of ancient history and archaeology. Find out more.

The Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! Team
For the first four and a half years of the Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! podcast Liv Albert operated the show as a solo creator, host, and literally every other role. Finally, that became unmanageable (okay, it had been unmanageable for awhile but Liv is stubborn) and Liv added a new member to what is now the Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! team!
Michaela Smith joined the team in January 2022 as Liv’s second-in-command, the Hermes to her Olympian gods. Michaela is a fellow Canadian and is studying Classics. Michaela is a vehement defender of Hera (rightly so!) and an unapologetic Achilles defender (because, Brad Pitt). Michaela handles creating podcast promotional material, playlists, and more. She runs the Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! YouTube account where new episodes being added every day with closed captions for greater accessibility, and will be taking on more as time goes on. Michaela is great and is already making Liv’s life easier, giving her more time to write books and plan future projects.
