Hello, hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Fluently Forward.

Today on the podcast, we are wrapping all of my favorite topics into one.

And we are going to be talking about sirens, but we're going to be looking at the angle of it from myth, lore, ancient legend.

Then we're going to look at the conspiracy side of it and how this idea of

and how they pop up and how to defend yourself against them.

But for today's episode, I was really excited to pick up

the idea of sirens because maybe it's just me for someone who, you know, barely remembers to
