“Very much a favorite. Especially well produced are the Egyptian gods series. The myths at the beginning of those five episodes are spellbinding, related by a consummate storyteller with eerily gorgeous voice, accent, and cadences.”

“Love this podcast, really enjoyed the Siren episode, another modern interpretation of sirens that differentiates them from mermaids is that Sinbad animated movie, it depicts sirens as women actually made of water, there’s a clip on youtube. It also had a cool depiction of Eris in it.”
