- Society & Culture
In honor of the Olympics, we are doing some stories about the Olympics in Greek mythology- and also some fun facts! Julianna gushes over the new Olympic sports (i.e. skateboarding, karate & surfing) and attempts to lead the episode herself as Sabryna takes a break. Also did you know that Apollo was good at… everything? The origins of the Olympics are definitely not as straightforward as they seem.
