About this episode

Liv speaks with Phoenicia Rogerson, author of the novel HERC which finally treats the story of Heracles as it should: it's weird and funny and also, tragic. Follow Phoenicia on social media at @thatPhoenicia and learn more here. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
