When we last left our Hero he had just been brought to the home of Chiron the Centaur, wisest of all things under the sun, atop the snowy peaks of Mount Pelion. Let us rejoin him and see what happens when he starts out for Iolcus by the sea with the intention of claiming the throne as the rightful heir to the kingdom. Something tells me it’s not going to go as he plans… if it does, this is going to be a real short series.
The Adventures of the Argonauts (Part I)
It’s finally here! Part I of our six-part series on the Argonauts and their adventure to retrieve the Golden Fleece. This is also the first episode to be recorded in our new home at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, Maine. It is a day for wonderful things!
Mangita and Larina (Philippines)
We start off with some exciting news about the future, then we jump into a Patron-only preview of a folktale from the Philippines. It is a story of kindness vs. cruelty and how one always wins over the other… even if it takes some time.

The Story of Perseus (Part Five, Finale)
Our hero is wielding the severed head of Medusa quite effectively since he’s acquired it – sea monsters and aggressive men seem no match for it. Could it be that Perseus will use the head a third time when he returns to Seriphos? Let’s check in and see how Perseus fairs in this final chapter of the story of the Greek hero Perseus.
The Story of Perseus (Part Four)
Let’s check in with our hero and see how he’s making out after beheading Medusa, giving relief to Atlas, and departing for the Libyan shores of North Africa.
The Story of Perseus (Part Three)
When we last left Perseus, he had just embarked upon his long 7-years journey. He was armed with Harpe, the sword of the Argus Slayer, and with the shield of Athena. We rejoin our hero as he comes to the Unshapen Land in search of the three Gray Sisters. Let us see if he finds them, and what happens next.
We’ve partnered with RadioPublic
As a podcast we are not often in control of where on the world wide web our show is listed. We love the idea of being available for everyone regardless of where they live or how they find us but some platforms are a little off-brand, unsafe from a cyber security perspective – full of malware for example – and when we’re listed on them it can give the illusion that we chose to be listed on them. The truth is that anyone can submit our RSS feed to any aggregator and just like that, bam, we’re listed on the WeHatePuppies Podcast Network. It sucks, but that’s the way it is. Sometimes however, on rare occasions, we actually get the opportunity to appear somewhere we really want to appear.
The Story of Perseus (Part Two)
When we last left our protagonist he wasn’t our protagonist at all, his mother was, and we left him and her on the rocky shores of Seriphos, having beached there after many days of wayward drifting after King Acrisius set them both in a chest and sent them out to sea and to, what he hoped would be, their demise. Fortunately for them, the warm winds and fateful waters of the Greek sea ferried them to a friendly land and into the good graces of the King of Seriphos’s brother, Dictys.
The Story of Perseus (Part One)
Part one of the full story of Perseus. Whisky from New Zealand. We’ll hear of the conditions surrounding the birth of Perseus; his grandfather’s terrible treatment of his young mother and how the two were cast out to sea to perish in the waves. We’ll leave them as they arrive upon the rocky shores of an unknown land, and are greeted by a good fisherman who is anything but a common man.
