Conversations With….
There are SO MANY amazing, smart, people out there who know their stuff when it comes to all things mythology. From scholars to fellow podcasters, authors, and icons… the list goes on and on. A truly fascinating (that’s a little inside joke for you listeners) and flattering number of them have agreed to come on the show to share their expertise, give their insights, and rant about the worst men of Greek mythology. The Conversation series quickly went far beyond the realm of just Greek mythology and into the wider world of ancient Mediterranean history, culture, archaeology, and so much more.
