January 20, 2025 Narcissus
We recorded this shortly after the 2024 US election results but, as it took some time to edit, we decided to post on inauguration day. In a time when self-absorbed billionaires have taken control of government, this episode's topic feels particularly relevant.

December 07, 2024Eros and Psyche
This episode departs from the physicality of Hercules' deeds to discuss a more spiritual tale of love. Eros and Psyche is in many ways a story in opposition to Hercules. For while he remains emotionally unchanged by the end of his tale, the very core of this love story is emotional development.
Story begins | 2:50
Story ends | 26:02
This episode we will be reading from:
⁠⁠⁠Mythology - by Edith Hamilton⁠⁠⁠

Adina's extra reading comes from:
Alchemy of the Soul: The Eros and Psyche Myth as a Guide to Transformation - by Martin Lowenthal

November 20, 2024Hercules - The Hero's Journey
In this episode we discuss the story of Hercules, the strongest man and perhaps the most well known of Greek heroes. While folks are probably familiar with general highlights of his story, many of the finer details may be surprising. After consuming the entirety of his legend, it's hard to call it anything else but tragic.

August 05, 2023Briar Rose - Awakening and Transformation
Our final episode of season 1 is a story near and dear to Raisa. This episode gets a lot more personal than some, as we discuss periods of awakening and transformation from various points in our own lives.
The story is from ⁠Household Tales by Brothers Grimm⁠ and is read starting at 7:19 and ending at 15:25.
Adina also recommends:
⁠The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales⁠ (Pantheon Fairy Tale And Folklore Library). If attempting to purchase this, be sure it says, "with Padraic Colum (intro) and Joseph Campbell (commentary) and James Scharl (illustr)". Amazon considers all versions to be the same book, so you could accidentally buy a copy without those key elements.
Our intro/outro music is from Antoni Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, performed by John Harrison with the Wichita State University Chamber Players. You can find the original at ⁠freemusicarchive.org⁠
