I’ve always been a history and mythology buff and I found this recently while prepping for a road trip. I’m going to be listening to the back log of episodes as I love the variety of them. Compared to the freaky folklore podcast (which covers similar material) I found this to be professional and the short stories better written. Too bad it ended in 2022.

Although I continue to feel ambivalent about Vanessa Richardson’s very artificial, suburban narration, each episode is very well-written and researched, and a delight every time. Currently my favorite Parcast podcast by far, and a good companion to the PBS webseries Monstrum, which I also recommend.

I am bedridden and this is in my top 5 favorite podcast that is saying a lot being I currently listen to 110 podcasts. Basically listen to podcasts 24/7. This is not only educational but professionally produced. If I were a teacher I would use this podcast companies podcasts as a teaching tool. It is so fun. Thanks for always making my days interesting

This is a great podcast if you like dramatic re-enactments of mythology. I don’t usually like that format, but the creators use it for great effect. It’s especially useful in establishing the nuance that often comes from these “problematic” stories. I also appreciate that they cover mythologies other than Greek and Roman.
