Gamerface the mythology buff

I am only on episode 1 and I’m already in love with this podcast! You guys ROCK!!!!! Also, anonymous reviewer, these stories are interpreted in different ways. So if you don’t agree with someone’s interpretation of a story, find a different podcast. Please. There is nothing wrong with anyone in the LGBTQ+ community, so just let these people do their thing and stop being such a hater.
Absolutely stellar!!
