| 0:06.3 | June of this year, and not only is it just a new book, but it is a fully illustrated retelling |
| 0:12.0 | of The Odyssey. It's aimed at children 9 to 12, but don't let that fool you. It's a shortened |
| 0:17.4 | retelling, but I kept it true to the original in every way that matters. |
| 0:22.5 | Check out the link in the episode's description for where to pre-order or just ask your local independent bookstore. |

| 1:12.1 | Olympians, here to introduce this week's conversation episode. And I'll be so honest, I was |
| 1:18.8 | losing my mind at this one a little bit, because this week we talked with Felicia Day about her |
| 1:25.0 | newest graphic novel, The Lost Daughter of Sparta. I was so nervous, |

| 1:45.8 | And it was also just so interesting to talk about a character that honestly I had never heard |
| 1:52.1 | about and I live hadn't really heard about and to hear about Felicia's process with it and what |
| 1:58.1 | she wanted to get out of this and what her motivations were. So I hope you all |
| 2:04.0 | enjoy the episode and I'll see you all later. Bye. Conversations, Giving a Voice to a Lost Daughter of Sparta with Felicia Day. Thank you. To take things, I mean, why don't you first introduce yourself? |

I'm really well known as kind of one of the first, I don't know, celebrities on the |
| 3:25.9 | internet. Somebody called me a nerd lebrally once and I hated it, but I guess it's accurate, |
| 3:30.1 | even though I hate it. I was the queen of the internet for like five minutes and then I was like, |
