The

The Hello, this is let's talk about myths, baby, and I am your host, live here with, well, a little something in between.

So on Friday, I released the first half of an episode that I have done alongside Christy Vogler,

who's doing a kind of takeover of sorts for the show.

The intention of it was for Christy to be,

Christy, who also is one of the hosts of Movies We Dig, part of the New Memory Collective. And so

through movies we dig, Christy talks entirely about reception of the ancient world, you know,

in pop culture and media. And so the idea behind

this takeover is that Christy, someone who takes in all of that pop culture and media and is really

well versed in talking about it, sits down with a couple of other experts and breaks down this piece of pop culture

that I have not had the opportunity to do.

So, of course, we started off with a bang, with Epic the Musical.

And then the, this is all just, we're going background.

The idea was, okay, great, I don't want to be, you know,

out of it entirely. I'm looking for ways. Part of the takeover nature of this was not just

that we can look at pop culture stuff that I don't feel like I am right for, but also because I

am entirely coincidentally, quite busy working on the

beginnings of my children's retelling of the Odyssey that's going to be published next year.

Oh my God, I'm dying of excitement.

But that alongside building this memory collective and an adult novel that I am hellbent on getting picked up as well, I'm looking for ways of expanding episodes of the podcast that are a little bit less work for me.

And so I was really excited that Christy wanted to do this.

I knew she would do it right.
