Myths, Baby LIVE at the Vancouver Podcas...

Liv Albert
About this episode

The first ever LIVE recording of the podcast at the Vancouver Podcast Festival! The stories of Zeus, Io, Hera, and Argus, and Orpheus and Eurydice. Then I take some really interesting and insightful questions from the audience.

 

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.
