Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! | Greek Mythology & the Ancient Mediterranean

Listen to LTAMB ad-free!
$5.99/month or $59.99/year
The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology (and, now, ancient history of the Mediterranean) told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Such fantastical stories, so fun
Mar 30
This is a really fun podcast about Greek mythology (not put forward as fact) telling it plainly (with her understandable condemnation of the treatment of women), peppered with colorful language when she sees fit.
Love Greek mythology
Feb 26
I am happy I finally found a podcast that talks about everything Greek mythology my favorites is Artemis and medusa
1 million episodes would not be enough
Feb 16
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few months starting with episode 1 after hearing all the crossovers with Ancient History Fangirl, and I am soooo grateful for their connection that introduced me to Myths, Baby! Granted I still have 473 episodes to listen before I am up to date, but I am absolutely in love with this podcast! Super interesting AND entertaining and the feminism (and of course all other pushes for equality on every level) really is comforting to hear with everything going on in the world. I have become so obsessed I have ordered Liv’s books and once I’m caught up will likely join the Patreon. Highly recommend 10/10.
Entertaining & Educational

I found this podcast years ago, and had only listened to the first few episodes and liked it but didn’t really continue. Then, a few months ago needed something new to listen to at work, remembered this from so long ago, and now after only a couple few months am pretty much all caught up. It makes my otherwise incredibly boring day pass with excitement and intrigue, I especially enjoyed the little series on Sparta. Appreciate what you do ❤️
Ancient stories with a radical leftist take
Feb 4
There is almost an insignificant radical right compared to the radical leftists that has taken over our country, with trans insanity, and DEI . This would be a good podcast except for the leftism. You’ve been warned.
Very entertaining and fun to listen to

I’ve been trying to get back into myths for a while now and started looking for podcasts. I found this by Chance and decided to listen because the name caught my attention. As I’ve been going through the episodes, I’ve noticed that I will listen to 5-6 at a time and not even realize it. Liv is very great with her story telling and hilarious, making it very easy to listen to. I’m working my way through old episodes to get caught up and it just keeps getting better. Definitely recommend giving it a listen.
Informative, but…
12/29/2024
… the host seems to be carrying a lot of baggage. I was in a research mode, and found myself in a situation where I was moving a lot and couldn’t stop to read. So I looked up podcast episodes dealing with Zagreus. I found the information amazing, but the host is very hung up on modernist views and terminology like “the patriarchy.” It made her hard to listen to when I just wanted to hear the stories. Sure, call out Zeus for being a rapist! I was onboard for that blunt view, but your political take is eyeroll inducing. While I am curious as to her take on Minerva punishing Medusa for having been raped, I don’t think I can sit through another episode of her haughty whining. Tales of the Night Sky is a much better, more balanced show. She’s not afraid to say that many of the gods are jerks, but doesn’t feel the to blame anyone but the individuals.
Amazing Podcast!

This podcast is amazing! It’s like Greeking Out (kids podcast about Greek + other mythology) meets Queens Podcast. Liv’s commentary truly makes this podcast special. I can’t wait to get caught up ❤️❤️❤️
Caught up
11/22/2024
All caught up love the podcast and to hear history from a female point of view. From a non doushbag cis male. One comment never ever apologizes for being weird.
Medusa
11/20/2024
The pastoralist/patriarchy usurped images of female power (ice age depictions of female fecundity including hybrid human and animals ) to fit with their new fighter and killer realities thus creating monsters from female power symbols to female monsters like Medusa . By late Neolithic women no longer roamed to gather and hunt but were sequestered by these pastoralist patriarchs to provide ready targets for sexual violence and their males’ offspring .
