In this episode of The Modern Tuition Podcast, we sit down with Vicki Broadbent — educator, bestselling author of Mumboss, award-winning filmmaker, broadcaster, and founder of the hugely popular Honest Mum blog.

Vicki joins us to talk about her Scholastic children’s book Greek Myths, Folktales & Legends, which reimagines 20 timeless Greek stories for young readers. She shares why myths like The Contest for Athens remain so powerful today, how storytelling can support literacy and critical thinking, and how parents and educators can use myths to spark curiosity, discussion, and deeper learning both in the classroom and at home.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, tutor, or simply passionate about children’s books and storytelling, this episode is full of insight, creativity, and practical inspiration.
