Enjoyable and accessible
This podcast is both informative and accessible for adults and children alike. It is lovely easy introduction into the myths that most of us grew up with in one form or another. Only problem is I now am unable to watch any film supposedly based on Greek mythology without commenting on the horrible inaccuracies :-)
