Summary

Oh, far-shooting Apollo... What are you exclusively the god of, anyway? All things Apollo, the good and the very, very bad. Submit your questions to Liv's 2022 New Year Q&A episode here.

Besides all those times his boyfriends died tragically at his hand,

1:51.0

but that's a whole other issue, it does not pay to love Apollo.

But before we dive into this god who has a habit of taking credit for other more minor gods roles in the world,

so it feels only right.

2:17.0

Plus, it means I can actually take a bit of a holiday over the season before coming back to you in January with the biggest, most planned, most controversial episode series I've ever attempted.

2:31.0

That is right, stay tuned for that.

January is a big fucking month, and I have got my work cut out for me preparing for it.
