Looks like Telly’s teen temper tantrum worked; he gets to leave! How will Circe prep him? Let us know what Trygon sounds like to you as we sing you a lot of songs and find out Rose’s top baby name!

Wonder with us how exactly a god gets pregnant on a microscopic level, help us review some chem equations, and watch Telly grow up, montage style, complete with Parenting 101 lessons from none other than Circe along the way.

Additionally: do you have the same favorite Disney movie as we do? And don’t miss our special guest star, Kelsey’s Siri.

Circe’s feeling depressed, and… unwell after Odysseus leaves. Uh oh. She frees the nymphs of Circetraz and prepares for a couple of unexpected arrivals while we scrutinize her relationships for common themes. We introduce Eileithyia, our favorite character to talk about to date and wish we had Circe’s Magic 8 Pool. Plus birthdays, languages, vocab, astrological signs, accents-it’s all here, folks!

Introducing Apollo, the appalling god who’s no chicken. He forces a painful, puzzling vision on Circe, and it involves her man, Odysseus, whose crew has a bit of island fever. Will she share what she knows with him? Will the crew extend their stay? Bonuses: Learn how to pronounce words with us (or not), take part in our cow-nversation (featuring a few newbies!), celebrate a not-so-special anniversary, and find out what dreams, long journeys, and bad days all have in common. Shout out to Lore Olympus and the awesome podcast, Lore Olympod!

What up, high-maintenance humans? This episode opens with a can’t miss unauthorized mystery guest, and Krystal makes her debut! If you haven’t seen the movie Troy or read The Odyssey, this is the chapter for you. Odysseus opens up, and he’s different… that temper, though! Rose gets to the (very deep) root of her pronunciation issues and receives a (North) Hollywood handshake, Kelsey plugs therapy and is concerned for our gal Circe, and we have a new official couple to introduce (and name-help us out)! Gloria recaps our heroine’s crushes and discovers a pattern, and we invite our listeners to give us their best backward “oink” and join us in a fun game at the very end!

Circe sweeps up the aftermath of her visitors, and we hear an allegorical story before she slips into her new routine for guests. Discover what Animorphs have to do with Greek mythology, what Chicago the Musical has to do with Circe-traz, what Circe-traz is, and what one unique visitor does to make Circe let down her guard and earn a spot as Greek of Da Week! P.S. don’t miss our shoutout to our biggest fan, and some news about the author’s latest project…

Trigger warning This week’s episode contains discussions of sexual assault. Visit RAINN.org for resources. You are not alone.

In our darkest episode to date, Circe gets some long-awaited visitors! Just what do they have in store for her? Throughout the chapter summary, we chat about timeless societal issues, island fever, nymph prison, and more as we celebrate some anniversaries and prominently feature the lioness!

Join Rose, Kelsey, and Gloria as we share our Spotify playlist picks for the Circe soundtrack.

Yay, we’re halfway (we think?) and we actually have a listener from Greece! In this episode, Circe’s got unannounced guests, so be ready for a ton of celeb cameos and all kinds of family drama! Will Circe choose violence? Why doesn’t Gloria use Talk to Text? How come Rose and Gloria didn’t get cast on the Amazing Race? Who is Kelsey’s package thief? Answers to these questions (except that last one) await you, plus a vocab lesson or 2, more original music, and ancient true crime.

Come on down for more Harry Potter parallels! Also discover how our gal Circe’s taste in men has changed. More candles, too (of course)!
