Fireside Folklore with Hades

Once upon a time, gods and goddesses walked among us, bestowing favor upon heroes and conjuring sea monsters simply because they could. After one too many festivals were ruined by a vengeful Poseidon dissatisfied with the flakiness of his sacrificial fish, a hero built a wall so impenetrable that not even the craftiest of gods could breach it.

Fast forward to 2023, when, as part of a wager, Hades seized upon one mortal’s brief flirtation with AI to persuade her to create this podcast—a place where the gods, with their instinctively chosen voices, could reclaim the ears, if not the hearts, of mortals everywhere.

Here, Zeus hawks fictional Olympian products like Ambrosia Bites—guaranteed to fuel all of life’s treacherous journeys—while Hades recounts folklore from across the world. From Egypt's origin myth about how mummies were born to the whimsical folktale of a clever Sheikh in Yemen, this is a treasure trove of stories, both ancient and reimagined, performed by the gods as created in one woman's imagination.

In the spirit of ξενία—the ancient Greek tradition of generosity and hospitality—this podcast remains free for all to enjoy, independent and untouched by sponsors, advertisers, or paywalls. Just storytelling, shared openly, as it was meant to be.
