A Special Anniversary Episode, Seven Yea...

Liv Albert
About this episode

Some of Michaela's favourite moments from the last couple years of the podcast, because it's our seven year anniversary!

CW/TW: this compilation features episodes on Seneca's Thyestes (major gore etc.) and one on Ovid's "Nice Guys" (major misogyny), and as always... 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.

Sources: Refer to the original episodes for sources/further information.
