  • Episode 14: Myth in Media - Hercules

    Today we're giving ya'll the second episode in our Myth in Media series! We're talking about one of Taimah & Caroline's favorite Disney movies: Hercules (Honey you mean HUNKules).

  • Episode 12: The Incest Episode

    If your favorite part of Game of Thrones was the Cersei/Jamie Lannister romance, then boy do we have an episode for you! Today Taimah talks about a little-known Bible story that takes place right after the events of Sodom and Gomorrah (spoilers: it's basically Israelite propaganda against the Ammonites and the Moabites), and Caroline gives a new meaning to the term "Oedipus complex".

  • Episode 11: Kidnap Schmidnap - Hades and Persephone

    Welcome back to another episode where we debate the age-old question: is Hades and Persephone a better love story than Twilight? We discuss the myth of the Rape of Persephone (NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS WE PROMISE), the hymn to Demeter, and modern interpretations of this myth that have made it incredibly popular, but also incredibly misunderstood (I'm looking at you, Lore Olympus).

  • Episode 9: This Story Isn't About You - Dido and the Sabine Women

    Someone said that the only two things you can be sure of in life are death and taxes, but I would like to propose another: you can always be sure that a man will always talk about himself. In today's episode we are taking two stories from early Roman history and talking about the amazing women who were not given a fair telling at the time. Trigger warning for sexual assault and suicide - these women did not have it easy.

    Guess who's back? It's us! (shocking I know) This episode is a little all over the place but definitely worth a listen. Today Caroline talks about the birth of Hermes and how he and Apollo became best buds. Taimah recounts several stories about Paul including that time when Paul preached a sermon so boring someone died.

  • Episode 6: Myth in Media - God of War

    After a bit of a hiatus - Oh My Gods is back baby! Taimah and Caroline were finishing the spring semester and starting their summer jobs, so please don't curse us for not uploading in a minute. Today is the inaugural episode of what we hope will become a mini-series where we discuss mythology as it is portrayed in modern media. In today's episode we are looking at the God of War video games - specifically the 2018 one and Ragnarok. We discuss what we like about the games, what we don't like, and how we rate it on a scale of Taimahs.
