"Mything Persons" The stories we tell shape the people we become. In this podcast, Nia Young and Kevin Deyna-Jones unpick the myths, metaphors, and mindsets behind everyday life, asking what we believe, why we believe it, and how it changes us. From self-esteem to success, loneliness to legacy, we explore how history becomes story, and story becomes self. No wellness platitudes here: just honest talk, sharp insight, and the occasional reminder not to be a d**k, innit.

    What makes a legend?

    From Hercules to hospital porters, Robin Hood to The Mabinogi, we’re asking: what really makes someone legendary? Is it bravery? Greatness? Or just good PR? In this myth-mashing episode, we dive into the ripples of legacy...from London 2012, the overlooked heroes of care work, and why society hands out statues to billionaires but forgets its best. There’s models, rules, drive, and one almighty emotions wheel. Plus: the Simpsons, sad endings, and a big finale twist involving Terror Management Theory (Google it, or just listen) ;)
