A podcast about the web comic Lore Olympus by two people who have no qualifications but a lot of feelings.
The Lore OlymPOD podcast is an absolute gem for fans of Greek mythology and Lore Olympus. As someone who loves Greek mythology and the webcomic, I was thrilled to find a podcast that delves into the lore and offers hilarious commentary. It's like having a conversation with friends who share your love for all things Greek mythology and Lore Olympus. The hosts, Zoey and Erin, are incredibly funny and their chemistry is evident in every episode.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the deep dive into Greek mythology. Zoey and Erin provide insightful analysis of the characters, stories, and themes from Greek mythology that are present in Lore Olympus. They draw connections between different myths, highlight symbolism, and offer historical context. It adds another layer to my appreciation of the webcomic and helps me see it in a new light. In addition to the educational aspect, their witty banter and comedic timing keep each episode entertaining from start to finish.
Another standout feature of The Lore OlymPOD podcast is the incorporation of musical references. Whether it's a cleverly inserted lyric or a full-blown musical theater tangent, these moments add an extra dose of fun to the episodes. It's clear that Zoey and Erin have an extensive knowledge of musicals, and their enthusiasm shines through whenever they make a reference. As someone who loves both Greek mythology and musical theater, this combination is pure gold.
While there aren't many negative aspects to mention about this podcast, one small drawback could be the occasional tangents or off-topic discussions that can go on for longer than necessary. However, even these moments are filled with humor and charm, so they never become too much of a detriment to the overall listening experience.
In conclusion, The Lore OlymPOD podcast is a delightful journey into Greek mythology through the lens of Lore Olympus. Zoey and Erin bring their expertise, humor, and love for musical theater to each episode, creating an entertaining and informative podcast. This podcast is a must-listen for fans of Greek mythology, Lore Olympus, and anyone who appreciates witty banter and clever analysis.
