I don’t have much time for podcasts and so I’m late to this, but @alexpodyssey.bsky.social is marvellous. Each ep is a Greek myth told well, historical roots / cultural refs clearly explained, and a link to life now. About to start ep3 (Midas) and expect a certain NY property developer will feature.

This is where I learnt all the classic Greek legends that I’m now re-learning (and getting a much better understanding of) via @alexpodyssey.bsky.social
Ulysses 31 (TV, 1981-1982).
Jean Chalopin: "We were told that if we wanted to sell something in France, we needed a cultural alibi. We wanted to do science fiction because it was up to date. I'm not sure how Ulysses got into the discussions anymore, but one thing was said: in Homer's time..."
