This week on the show, we're traveling back to ancient Greece to unpack Ayana Gray’s adult debut, I, Medusa. Forget everything you think you know about the ultimate mythological "monster." We’re getting to know Meddy—a mortal girl just trying to live her life, see the world, and make it through priestess training before the Olympian gods decide to be absolutely careless.

When her locs are transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she didn't commit, Meddy goes from victim to vigilante. We are breaking down every bit of the heartbreak, the plot twists, and the righteous feminine rage.

Grab your drinks, find your favorite seat, and get ready for us to read the Olympians for absolute filth.

In this episode, we’re unpacking:

• The Hair: Let’s talk about the gorgeous and powerful reimagining of Medusa’s locs as a symbol of identity, culture, and power.
• Olympian Petty Drama: Why are these gods so messy? We are dragging Poseidon and side-eyeing Athena for being the ultimate complicit bystander.
• Reclaiming the Narrative: How this book holds up a mirror to our modern world and shows what happens when women refuse to be footnotes in someone else's story.

Whether you’ve read the book or you just want to hear us scream about Greek mythology, pour yourself a glass and join the circle!

Content & Spoiler Warning: We are going all the way in on plot points! Also, please note that both the book and this episode contain discussions surrounding heavy themes of sexual assault, victim-blaming, and violence.
