About this episode

Liv speaks with Joel Christensen about Odysseus and the Odyssey and what we really should take from his long and storied journey. Check out Joel's amazing website full of weird nerdy things. 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.
