Welcome to Greek Mythology 101! We’re picking up with the A’s and working our way across many a pantheon. What better way to start than with the much-maligned, much hated, and much made fun of - Ares, the Greek God of War and holder of the title, Angriest Olympian. Find out about the many illegitimate children of Love and War he has with Aphrodite and all the times he gets captured. It’s at least two, which isn’t many but weird that it happened twice.

Ep 100 - Bacchus to the Future

It’s our 100th episode! Join us one last time in 2021 for our centennial celebration of bawdy Bacchanalia as we take a closer look at Bacchus, the Roman equivalent of my OC don’t steal for Dionysus. It’s our big Roman party, there’ll be drinking, singing, myths, and us absolutely dragging Livy for being the ultimate party pooper.

Ep 99 - Dionysus, God of Wine and Big Dick Energy

It’s our 99th episode! A special deep dive look at our patron god, Dionysus. Dionysus and his cohort of Satyrs and MAE NADS are getting into shenanigans involving a teetotaler king, King Goldfinger, and the best bard this side of a Dionysia Festival. It’s no Dionysian Mysteries as to why this god may be the last to join the pantheon but is number 1 in our hearts.

Ep 46 - Jason and the Argonauts: Medea's Argo-Naughty Bois

It’s part 2 of Jason and the Argonauty Bois’ (and Atalanta’s) epic quest to Kolchis to get the Golden Fleece to earn his kingdom from evil usurper Pelias. They’ll fight stone giants, dragons, Aeetes and fate! But they wouldn’t have gotten far without Medea, who does everything. Ask Euripides though, you better keep Medea on your side, Jason, cause she’ll mess you up and then peace out on her own dragon-pulled chariot!

Ep 3 - The Twelve Labors of Jerkules (Hercules) Part 1

Put on your Nemean Lion pelts and grab your cudgels! We're talking about Hercules this week: twelve labors, two parts, and two bottles of wine! In this first half, we are talking Hercules’ family line, early years nabbing that sweet God milk from Hera, killing snakes and music teachers and earning that pelt and cudgel, and actually living a pretty happy life with his happy wife Megara.

Then boom. Hera strikes and tragedy. One angry stop to talk to the Oracles and now Hercules has gotta do some labors for his cousin, Eurystheus. We predict, Lions, hydras, hinds, and boars, and oh my a whole mess of cow poop are in Herk the Jerk’s future.
