CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.

0:34.1	Thanks and happy listening.
1:24.0	Music description. Thanks and happy listening. Hello, this is let's talk about myths Baby, and I am your host, Live here with the first of potentially more than one, but at this point, just the one, New Year Q&A episode.

2:06.1	episode, and I hope you will submit more so that we have more questions to answer in the near
2:11.7	future. For now, though, this works perfectly because normally I would love to do more than one
2:16.9	Q&A episode to start off the year.
2:19.2	But this year we have a particularly, well, an episode that is going to release on Tuesday.
2:27.3	And we can all just go ahead and look at the date on Tuesday and think about a certain thing that they never want to call an attempted coup.
