I just found out about this podcast and I’m completely addicted to listening to it. Jean speaks of Ancient Greek myths in a way that allows people to listen comfortably that may not have had the chance to study it. I really love her genuinely kind voice and I hope this podcast never ends!...Read full review »

You know your hooked when the binge seems like a mere starter. I wouldn’t mind weekly uploads but I guess to be careful for what you wish for.

Love this! I’m doing an MA in literature and I found the first episode very relatable, especially the part of «accidentally» getting into a degree and to dabble in archaeology. Loving the episodes so far and looking forward to continuing listening.

I know the square root of naff all about classics to be honest. Or at least I think that is the case. It’s really nice to have a new subject explained in the way Jean does in this podcast. You don’t need to know anything about classics to listen which makes it nice and accessible! There can never...Read full review »

This is a brilliant introduction to the classical world and a resource that I am finding invaluable in completing an extended project about women in antiquity. Jean is an absolute inspiration for young and budding classicists !!!

I’m only a few episodes in but this podcast is so much fun to listen to. Jean has such a great way of making classics understandable and fun and linking classics to other interesting topics. As a fellow working class Scot, she also makes classics so accessible!
Miss Hufflepuff via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/17/18
Really enjoying this podcast. Anyone who has ever been interested by the classics in pure version or popular interpretation will get a lot out of their relaxed but informative chats. It's still in fledgling form but I sincerely hope listeners and resources will grow.Read full review »

I just discovered your podcast this morning and love it already. The discussion with Medeline Miller was so enjoyable. It's so obvious what joy you both get from re-imagining the classic myths. I can't wait to read Miller's Circe book and look forward to your future episodes.Read full review »
