Ep 72 - Orishas: Big Hero 7

We are back from a long hiatus with our first recently recorded episode in a long time! Today, we are talking about the Orishas of the Yoruba religion and tradition, as well as their ties to Santeria and other mythologies and religions in the Americas! We’ll dish the hot goss on the coolest spirits/deities/forces of nature in the Yoruba pantheon. And if you stick around to the end, we share a surprisingly relatable creation myth for anyone who’s ever had a bad boss or employee.

Ep 2 - All My Zeus's Children

Put on your earbuds, we gonna talk our way through the many god and goddess children of that no-good, philandering scoundrel king of Mt. Olympus, Zeus. Thanks to the infidelity that rascal Zeus, we have Hermes, Athena, Artemis, Ares, Apollo, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and Persephone. Somebody better tell Hera, she's got some revenging to do.
