Ep02: Familial Revenge


Listen Later

Rule # 1 of Mythology – parents and husbands are all terrible. Join us while we simultaneously discuss the theme of revenge in myth and roast the fuckbois of mythology who get what they deserve (don't @ us). 

Trigger warning: this episode contains discussion of incest, domestic violence (including the harm of children), sexual assault, and rape. Listener discretion is advised.
