Myth Friday: Recent Episodes
Myth Friday
Every week, the Myth Friday crew will read two myths, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday, and then discuss them on Friday.
Bonus Episodes may drop on Sunday, depending on whether we could find anything for the week.
You can find the Myth Friday gang on Spotify, Anchor, Apple Podcasts, and Stitcher. We've got an email, if you want to get in touch with us at mythfriday@gmail.com. We'd love to take on guest readers!
Unfortunately, one of our hosts probably can't do the show anymore. Cato'd love to continue, but he'd need a cohost. If you'd be down to cohost, email us at mythfriday@gmail.com.

Topics include similarities and differences between Greek and Norse myth due to climatological differences between the Mediterranean and Scandinavia, a mishearing of Cestus, and floods as purification.

Unfortunately, Cato could not be joined by his co-hosts this week, so the episode is shorter than we would like. As we will be doing every Friday for the foreseeable future, I analyze the two myths we read this week. Topics include how often the Flood comes up in disparate mythologies, the many parallels between the Greek and Christian creation stories, and whether hope can in fact be an evil. // Myth readings were removed to reduce content overlap. // If you like the show, why not tell a friend?
