Welcome to Spears podcast of Boosy Dive into Mythology, Legends, and Folklore.

Every week we pour a drink and learn about a new story from around the world.

I'm Amanda. And I'm Julia. And this is episode 261, Poseidon. It's back at it again with the Greeks.

Here we go. Man, nothing like just going through a bunch of Poseidon myths to start your Wednesday.

You know what I mean? It's kind of aspirational, but also at the same time, it shouldn't be. Yeah, no, we, it's really, I really kind of, I'm real balanced meal, Julia.

I feel like you really hit every corner of that problematic food pyramid. Like, I, I feel,

I feel fully sated after this episode. If anything, Poseidon is at the top of the problematic

food pyramid. Absolutely. But someone that I could have seven to nine servings of per day. I don't know how I like that particular transition, but we're going to stick with it. It's our new patrons. Sydney Fox, Sider, Slore, Calypso, and a little bit Libra. I'm also a little bit Libra. I love that. And thank you to our supporting producer level of patrons who support sustained us and lets us do this for our job.

And as always, Spearspodcast.com slash books is where you can both see lists of books by authors

we've had on the show, books we've recommended, and buy them from bookshop.org, which redistributes money to indie bookstores, which is great. And if you are out

of things to listen to, if you catch them on spirits and you're like, oh, God, I've listened to spirits

already twice. What else should I listen to? Julia, what do you recommend folks check out from the

rest of the multitude collective this week? Well, I mean, given that our episode is all about beside and Amanda, I think today is the perfect time to tell folks to listen to the newest Olympian. Our friend Mike Schubert is a podcast
