Today Taimah talks about a little-known Bible story that takes place right after the events of Sodom and Gomorrah (spoilers: it's basically Israelite propaganda against the Ammonites and the Moabites), and Caroline gives a new meaning to the term "Oedipus complex".

We discuss the myth of the Rape of Persephone (NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS WE PROMISE), the hymn to Demeter, and modern interpretations of this myth that have made it incredibly popular, but also incredibly misunderstood (I'm looking at you, Lore Olympus).

In today's episode we are taking two stories from early Roman history and talking about the amazing women who were not given a fair telling at the time. Trigger warning for sexual assault and suicide - these women did not have it easy.

It's us! (shocking I know) This episode is a little all over the place but definitely worth a listen. Today Caroline talks about the birth of Hermes and how he and Apollo became best buds. Taimah recounts several stories about Paul including that time when Paul preached a sermon so boring someone died. We end with a bit of a discussion about the concept of religion so stick around if you want to hear that. Also - Taimah's cousin = Hermes?!??!

Taimah and Caroline were finishing the spring semester and starting their summer jobs, so please don't curse us for not uploading in a minute. Today is the inaugural episode of what we hope will become a mini-series where we discuss mythology as it is portrayed in modern media.

We discuss what we like about the games, what we don't like, and how we rate it on a...2023-06-2539 minOh My GodsEpisode 5: Girl, is Your Name Eurydice? Cause You're the Only Ten I SeeIt is spring and love is in the air! No, wait. That's just Zeus turning into a shower of gold again to get some. Despite my (Taimah's) incredibly cringy title - today's episode takes a bit of a serious turn with the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. We also discuss the Bible story of Ruth and Boaz and learn the answer to the age-old question: who enjoys sex more? Guys or girls? (the only correct answer to that question is enby ppl, btw)
