You’ll Love This Podcast:
Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby!
A Greek and Roman Mythology podcast hosted by Liv Albert
About the podcast (from website):
But it’s not your average mythology podcast, this one is told by a 30-something Millennial with a penchant for cursing and a feminist attitude. The stories are deeply researched, thoroughly told, and they don’t hold back on the details that have been sugarcoated and treated with kid gloves over the millennia. Myths of the ancient world are examined through a modern intersectional feminist lens, focusing where possible on amplifying the voices of women, trans, and non-binary people.
There’s violence, assault, and so, so many gods transforming into animals to have their way with [insert sentient being of your choice]. Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! is casual and equal parts fun but knowledgeable. The show will leave you with a deeper understanding of the myths and the people who told them those many, many years ago.

Fun post! I’ve read a couple of the books and have a couple on my TBR, and the podcast sounds really fun!
Liv is really awesome, I love her!
I really need to start listening to podcasts, and I remember you talking about this one before. Thanks for reminding me😁
I mention it a lot on bookstagram as well 😂
That sounds good! Is it weekly eps?
Yes! Every tuesday there’s a regular episode and every friday it switches between a conversations episode (where she has guests on) and episodes where she reads a story or play from antiquity (she just finished the Argonautika recently so she’ll probably start a new one soon)
I don’t usually read books about mythology, but I should read more, and if I did, this podcast would be perfect.
The write up for the podcast made me laugh! It certainly strikes the right tone for newbies to history to take a look!
I love the title of the podcast! I will have to add it to my queue if I haven’t already. 😉
I LOVE this podcast so much (though I still have A LOT of catching up to do with it…)
Liv is so much fun to listen to 🙂
That’s a great idea Stephanie the if you love this, then…!
I take any chance to talk more about podcasts haha
