“Please take the time to read the Bible and do not be misled by this podcast. You will not find a passage where god allows for sex outside of a marriage between a man and a women or remaining a virgin. Truly I pity the hosts for what they.

“What a treasure find! Ellie, Leesa, and Alyse are so entertaining and fun to listen to. I feel like I’m at a casual hangout while still learning a lot about Sappho and pirates. They have a wide range of experts and reputable guests on the show that really delve deep into relevant topics.

“After finally being fed up with how little I knew about Sappho, I decided to search for a Sappho podcast and was surprised to find just the one (as the hosts describe)! Coincidentally I have also been super curious about what ~actually~ happened in pirate history so… I came for Sappho and stayed...”Read full review »

“I’d been low-key curious for awhile about what Sappho actually wrote, so I thought I’d check this out. (The pirate eps are calling to me for sure).
The Sappho info is great, the poetry reading and deciphering is FANTASTIC for any history person.
But what keeps my coming back forever is how...”Read full review »
