Some Podcasts on Homer

This post interrupts our usual pattern! But it is still about Homer. As a reminder, these posts will remain free, but there is an option to be a financial supporter. All proceeds from the substack are donated to classics adjacent non-profits on a monthly basis.

For anyone following along with our march through the Iliad, the podcast series Infernal Communication released an episode today with Emily Hauser and me talking about heroic patterns, myth, and ancient (and modern!) literature: Myth busting the hero’s journey. (Spoiler, Emily is awesome in this episode.)

If my voice and cadence aren’t too off-putting, I’ve been on a series of podcasts over the past few years talking about Homer. A few years back I talked about what “Homer” on Let’s Talk About Myths Baby with Liv Albert. I join Ithaca Bound twice to talk about Achilles and Paris. Previously I talked about the Odyssey with Jay Leeming, the Odyssey and psychology on the 1869 podcast, and O Brother Where Art Thou on Movies We Dig! I mix a lot of this material on the Neutral Ground Podcast.

If you’re a glutton for punishment, there are some videos too: here’s one from the Myth Salon.
