Podcasts about Medea

Priestess, witch, daughter of a brutal king: Medea is the greatest tragic heroine of the classical world. But, as Sunday Times bestselling writer Natalie Haynes reveals, Medea can be so much more than that too. Joining her longtime friend Robin Ince, she reveals her own journey that led her towards classical mythology, and invites modern-day dwellers to revisit the mythical past anew.  From the extraordinary characters of classical heroines such as Medea, Pandora, and Medusa, to how classical myths continue to resonate with the human condition today, Natalie takes us on an epic journey of our own to reimagine the myths we thought we knew.

For more than six decades, the U.S. has targeted Cuba with economic sanctions, blockades and campaigns to destabilize the Cuban government. Now, Trump's latest salvo toward Cuba is his January executive order that sanctions any nation that provides oil to Cuba. The result has led to severe consequences for the Cuban economy and is harshly affecting the daily life of Cuban citizens. Medea Benjamin has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Cuba. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization, Global Exchange. She joins us on the podcast today.

As we hurtle toward the third anniversary (in May already!) of Grace Bumbry's death, I have had her very much on my mind. It's true that I consider her greatest achievement to have been as a Liedersängerin. Others opine that her operatic roles as a mezzo (Carmen, Eboli, Amneris among others) represent her at her very finest. There are fewer who focus on her work as a soprano. And yet, when she sang the most taxing roles in that fach, she often revealed a fearlessness, a fortitude, a determination, a pride that brought out her very best. If one examines her recorded output, one finds her essaying soprano arias almost from her very earliest recordings. I thought it might be fun to continue Diva Week on Countermelody's Black History Month celebratory episodesby examining her enduring legacy of her recorded output as a soprano. This time I focus exclusively on her studio recordings as a soprano, sometimes (but not always) in roles that she also sang onstage (Norma, Tosca, Gioconda, even Medea). (There's even a little operetta and a pop standard tossed in for fun.) When La Bumbry first began singing the soprano repertoire, some naysayers predicted irreparable vocal burnout. But they were wrong: until the very end, Grace retained, by virtue of both solid technique and enormous willpower, the same vocal richness and musical and artistic fingerprint that she possessed for more than six decades and which we celebrate in this episode. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Triggerwarnung: In dieser Folge geht es um Gewalt an Kindern Die letzten Monate waren nicht leicht für Fenja. Als sie nun endlich mit ihrer anderthalbjährigen Tochter Miri zur Mutter-Kind-Kur im Hochsauerland ankommt, heißt es erst einmal tief durchatmen und Kraft tanken. Doch statt der erhofften Ruhe beginnt ein Albtraum. Miri leidet unter starken Schmerzen, die niemand erklären kann. Während sich Miris Zustand von Tag zu Tag verschlechtert und Fenja immer tiefer in eine Spirale aus Angst und Verzweiflung gerät, sind nicht alle im Umfeld des kleinen Mädchens daran interessiert, dass ihr geholfen wird. In dieser Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ geht es um einen gefährlichen Familienkonflikt, der Parallelen zu einer Erzählung aus der griechischen Mythologie aufweist. Expert:innen in dieser Folge: Fachanwältin für Familien- und Medizinrecht Marion Bayer von Abel und Kollegen, sowie Prof. Dr. Frank Häßler, Neurologe, Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater und Gutachter in Verfahren zu Kindstötungen. **Credit** Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Producer: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers und Jon Handschin Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Marysol Mercado Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: Abel und Kollegen **Quellen (Auswahl)** Urteil Landgericht Hannover - Aktenzeichen 39 Ks 2793 Js 97699/23 (23/23) con-nect: https://t1p.de/z5b69 SZ: https://t1p.de/9obzi NDR: https://t1p.de/lek56 **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Avui dimarts avancem que la meitat de les inversions de l'Ajuntament per aquest 2026 són millores a la via pública. La setmana passada es va aprovar el pressupost de l'Ajuntament de Lloret. És el més elevat de la història del municipi. Puja a més de 101 milions d'euros. Les inversions són 8,6 milions, el 12% més que l'any passat. Del total d'inversions, quasi la meitat (uns 4,2 milions) es destinaran a la via pública i urbanisme. Els projectes més destacats són la remodelació de l'avinguda Vidreres, Puig de Castellet, el Pla de Barris i una important inversió en millores dels carrers de Lloret de Mar. En parlem amb el regidor Joan Escalona a qui preguntem per les obres del carril bici. Altres temes d'interès: Salut:  L'Hospital de Blanes realitza la primera operació de retina i amplia la cartera de serveis d'Oftalmologia. Teatre: L'institut Coll i Rodès estrena aquesta setmana l'obra UN EMBOLIC AL COLL, que es representa en diferents espais del centre i explica qui va ser, entre d'altres, Ramon Coll i Rodès. En parlem amb Davd Barba, d'Amargura Cultura, que ha escrit l'obra. Cinema: Destaquem la presència de la crítica de cinema Imma Merino, aquest dijous, a la projecció del cineclub Adler SIN TECHO NI LEY d'Agnès Varda. Agenda: Diumenge, la companyia el Mirall de Blanes representa a Lloret ‘Hellas. Gregues, Grecs i Gemecs'. L'obra parla de Medea, Antígona i Lisístrata, tres mirades gregues i antigues sobre la dona, que tenen una gran vigència.

El grup El Mirall de Blanes representa aquest diumenge ‘Hellas. Gregues, Grecs i Gemecs' a Lloret de Mar. L'obra recull la història clàssica de Medea, Antígona i Lisístrata, tres mirades antigues sobre la dona, escrites fa més de 2.000 anys però que tenen plena vigència actual. El dramaturg i un dels directors, Josep Alum, explica que Medea va ser la primera “matricida de la història” i que el seu relat ens porta a reflexionar sobre la violència vicària. El relat sobre Antígona també és una tragèdia que parla de “l'empoderament femení davant del poder heteropatriarcal i el dret a un enterrament digne per a tothom”. La tercera part és còmica i es refereix a Lisístrata, una líder antibel·licista i feminista. “És un conte naïf i divertit, en que Lisístrata i altres dones se les empesquen per posar els homes a ratlla perquè sempre estan en guerra”, afegeix Alum. Un moment de l’obra de teatre ‘Hellas. Gregues, grecs i gemecs’. Les tres històries, escrites per Eurípides, Sòfocles i Aristòfanes, tenen en comú a una dona com a protagonista. A l’escenari hi veurem Jaume Claret, Silvia Marquès, Xavier Puigdemont, Carol Armengol, Xavi Pascual, Clara Adell, Kam Henao,  ¡Albert Maynou, Mireia Font, Simone Mariani, Patricia González, Georgina de Korte, Kore Velasco i Carlos González. La funció de ‘Hellas. Gregues, Grecs i Gemecs' arriba aquest diumenge, 22 de febrer (18h), al Teatre de Lloret de Mar. Amb aquesta obra i ‘Revers’, la companyia de teatre El Mirall celebra els 40 anys de trajectòria.

La direttrice artistica Elena Pau racconta a UniCa Radio l'identità dell'ottava edizione del Teatro da Camera, tra luoghi non convenzionali, memoria storica, centralità dell'attore e nuovi dialoghi con il presente. Teatro da Camera torna protagonista a Cagliari con un cartellone che attraversa stagioni, luoghi e memorie. Nell'intervista rilasciata ai microfoni di UniCa Radio, Elena Pau, direttrice artistica della compagnia La Fabbrica Illuminata, ha raccontato il senso profondo dell'ottava edizione della rassegna, in programma dal 25 gennaio al 26 luglio. Un percorso teatrale tra luoghi e stagioni Teatro da Camera si sviluppa come un itinerario culturale che abita spazi diversi della città. Palazzo Siotto, gli scavi archeologici di Sant'Eulalia e la dimora storica di Villa Asquer non sono semplici contenitori, ma diventano parte attiva della drammaturgia. Secondo la direttrice artistica, la scelta dei luoghi restituisce la cornice scenografica naturale degli spettacoli, creando un dialogo diretto tra testo, interprete e spazio. L'identità intima del Teatro da Camera Nato nel 2019, Teatro da Camera mantiene una cifra precisa: dimensioni raccolte e rapporto ravvicinato con il pubblico. Gli allestimenti sono essenziali, privi di scenografie tradizionali. La centralità è affidata all'attore e alla parola. Molti testi sono contemporanei, spesso originali o adattati appositamente per i contesti che li ospitano. Una scelta che rafforza l'idea di un teatro vivo, pensato per l'ascolto e la prossimità. La memoria come atto teatrale Uno dei fili conduttori più forti della rassegna è il segmento “La storia non si cancella”. Un progetto che, da otto anni, trova spazio nel periodo invernale e primaverile. L'edizione 2026 si è aperta in occasione del Giorno della Memoria con “Al di là del muro”, tratto dal diario di Aldo Carpi. Elena Pau sottolinea l'importanza di raccontare la tragedia storica attraverso uno sguardo umano, capace di restituire complessità, affetto e profondità emotiva. Figure femminili e mito nel presente Tra le nuove produzioni, Teatro da Camera mette al centro figure femminili spesso marginalizzate o fraintese. Medea, riletta in chiave contemporanea, e la protagonista di “Seguitemi”, testo originale di Sonia Orfalian, diventano simboli di esilio, fragilità e resistenza. Per la direttrice artistica, il mito resta un archetipo universale, capace di parlare al presente senza bisogno di forzature. Spettatori dentro la scena Negli spettacoli ospitati agli scavi di Sant'Eulalia, il pubblico non resta fermo. Si muove, segue l'attrice, attraversa gli spazi. Teatro da Camera diventa esperienza immersiva, una “bolla” in cui drammaturgia, luogo e spettatore convivono. Un modo diverso di vivere il teatro, che rafforza il senso di appartenenza e di partecipazione. Un pubblico eterogeneo, tra curiosità e scoperta Nel corso degli anni, Teatro da Camera ha incontrato un pubblico prevalentemente adulto, ma non mancano segnali di apertura verso fasce più giovani. Gli spazi archeologici attirano passanti e curiosi, mentre la dimensione intima della saletta della Fabbrica Illuminata affascina anche chi è in città solo per pochi giorni. L'estate, con spettacoli che intrecciano parola e musica, amplia ulteriormente il dialogo con nuovi spettatori. L'attore al centro di tutto Se dovesse riassumere otto anni di lavoro in una parola, Elena Pau non ha dubbi: attore. Teatro da Camera è, prima di tutto, l'arte dell'attore. È sul palco che si concentra lo studio, la fatica e la responsabilità di restituire senso al testo. E ciò che la direttrice artistica spera resti allo spettatore è una riflessione, qualcosa da portare con sé anche dopo il ritorno a casa.

Psychopompos - a new mythology opens with a chilling retelling of the myth of the infamous witch, MEDEA, and her husband, the Greek hero, Jason of the Argonauts. Narrated by a poet on the brink of madness, the retelling follows the wake of violence and retribution that engulfs MEDEA after she witnesses her husband accept the princess of Corinth's hand in marriage. Whipped into a frenzy, sets into motion the events that transformed her into one of history's most notorious women.Content Warning: Explicit Language, Violence.For more information about the story and podcast, a full transcript of this episode, or if you like what you heard and want to donate to this project, visit our site:www.psychopomp-cast.com.Cast:-Tate A.

In the first half of this episode, Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin co-host Empire on the Rocks to highlight acts of resistance to the Trump administration's wars at home and abroad. As the White House escalates ICE attacks on immigrants, dissenters, and US citizens, tens of thousands of people pour into the streets to protest across the country and take back their neighborhoods from lawless masked agents. Likewise, in Latin America, we see protesters in the streets of Venezuela demanding the return of their president Nicolas Maduro and an end to US regime change attacks. Marcy and Medea also discuss grassroots resistance to the the Trump, Netanyahu, Ellison propaganda machine that threatens to censor Palestinian voices at TikTok. On the second half of CODEPINK Radio, Marcy interviews Chas Freeman, retired 30-year diplomat and author, on Israel's genocide in Gaza and loss of support in the U.S.

A Little Greek, A Little Sci-Fi The final half of the list of 2025 book reviews has more Greek, more sci-fi, and more indiepub goodness. Romance in space and space opera, talking pigs and talking frogs, first contact with aliens and first contact with demons, and good church history hymns and bad biblical archeology.

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, discusses the kidnapping of Venezuela's President Maduro by the Trump administration with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine. ON Tuesday, Medea interrupted a presentation by the American ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS) to challenge their claim that this was purely a law enforcement action rather than regime change and seizure of oil. Medea expects a close but losing vote along party lines on Thursday when the Senate votes on a War Powers Resolution seeking to rein in Trump and restore constitutional rules.

CLODIA: THE PALATINE MEDEA Colleague Emma Southon. The segment focuses on Clodia, a wealthy, independent woman and sister of Clodius. Cicero, feuding with her brother, attacks Clodia's reputation during the trial of Caelius. In his speech Pro Caelio, Cicero characterizes her as a "Palatine Medea" and a seductress to discredit her claims of attempted poisoning. Unable to speak in court, Clodia is silenced by Cicero's rhetorical assassination of her character. NUMBER 12

This week on History Rage, host Paul Bavill welcomes the brilliant mythologist and author Natalie Haynes, to unravel the tangled web of Greek mythology and challenge the male-centric narratives that often dominate our understanding of these ancient tales.Myth vs. Reality: Natalie passionately argues that the stories from ancient Greece are not as male-dominated as they are often portrayed. She encourages listeners to reconsider the powerful roles women play in these myths, particularly through figures like Medea and Hera, who defy the traditional expectations of their time.The Argo and Its Heroes: Dive into the legendary quest for the Golden Fleece as Natalie dissects the dynamics of the Argonauts. Are they truly a cohesive unit or merely a collection of egos? Discover the complexities of their relationships and the conflicts that arise as they embark on their perilous journey.Women in Mythology: Explore the surprising strength and agency of female characters in Greek mythology. Natalie highlights how goddesses like Athena and Artemis offer a stark contrast to the often flawed male heroes, challenging the notion that women were merely passive figures in these ancient stories.Hollywood's Take: The conversation takes a critical turn as Natalie examines the portrayal of Greek myths in popular culture, particularly in films like Jason and the Argonauts and Disney's Hercules. She reveals how these adaptations often strip away the complexity and richness of the original tales, reducing powerful female figures to mere side characters.Support History Rage on Patreon for exclusive content and early episode access at www.patreon.com/historyrage.Follow History Rage on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HistoryRageTwitter: https://twitter.com/HistoryRageInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/historyrage/Buy the Book: No Friend to this House: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781529061543Listen to Natalie Haynes Stands Up For the Classics: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b077x8pc/episodes/playerFollow NatalieInstagram: @nataliehaynesauthorTwitter: @officialnhaynesBluesky: @nataliehaynes.bsky.social Stay Angry, Stay Informed - History Rage Hosted on Acast.

I'm joined today by Cosima Carnegie, better known on social media as Cosi's Odyssey: a classicist, writer, and creative producer whose work brings Greek myth and ritual into the present through essays, videos, and immersive events. We're talking not only about her journey into Classics, but about the four books that have most influenced her on her path to scholarship. It's a great blend that opens up conversations about childhood reading, ancient ritual, the visual imagination of Greek art, and what it means to inherit stories across generations.Talking to Cosi was a huge amount of fun, and I know you're going to enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!Cosi Carnegie's four books were:Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan (2005–09)Medea, Euripides (431 BC)The Aesthetics of the Greek Banquet, François Lissarrague (1990)An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic, Daniel Mendelsohn (2017)

Before we can even begin doing what Action Surge is actually here for, which is reflecting on the previous episode, we somehow open the show with legs above the heart and a sexual intimidation roll-off. Naturally. How else were we meant to concentrate?We talk about how Harry tried to deliver story, lore, and information to the party without dumping it on the players. Despite the warmth and safety of a good, comfortable inn, Raidion's decision to stay sober for an entire session was a genuine moment of character growth. We also look at the role reversal in this episode. Kel really let his hair down, and we were all delighted.It has also been a while since we met any of the Grēnweard brothers, so Harry shares a bit more insight into the most bookish of them, Torrian, especially when compared to Eiddon. Realistically, not many people compare to Eiddon. And let us be honest, who among us does not have a crush on Dolly? Plus, it might actually be comforting for Elowen to hear news of her brother after everything she has been through.Naturally, we also talk about the hotties of Reliquiae so far. From Morgan, to Aska (who can absolutely make us feel special any time), to Medea (everyone has a type, we are not here to judge), and now Lovak. The group might have been a little starved for attention, and we're thrilled to hear that he knows what he's doing.Then there is the amulet. Raidion might not have been drinking, but he certainly didn't stay out of trouble. We chat about that moment, the beauty of detail-oriented Doug and Kelyn's, and how he loves encouraging little character beats to happen.Finally, we talk about death at the table and the important role it can play when it is used thoughtfully. Harry has never really hidden that he sometimes regrets not killing a brother or two back at Castle Grēnweard. And we also learn that the song From the Darkness Light does not actually have any lyrics, which is frankly devastating. We simply want to hear Harry sing.Oh, and the Reliquiae master document? It is currently sitting at 328 pages and still growing.Also, gag reflexes. For reasons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What function do ceremonies like Armistice Day perform? How do we balance desires for reconciliation with feelings about revenge? How we remember wars and what commemoration means is much less settled than we might think. And that throws up questions, in times when conflicts are spreading close to us in western Europe, of how wars end and how we balance our concern for justice and peace with darker impulses?Joining presenter Anne McElvoy for BBC Radio 4's roundtable discussion about the ideas shaping our world are: classicist Natalie Haynes whose most recent novel No End to this House re-imagines the story of Medea, former solider Ashleigh Percival-Borley, who is now an academic and on the New Generation Thinkers scheme run by the BBC and the Arts and Humanities Research Council Duncan Wheeler, author of Following Franco and an academic studying contemporary Spain. neuro-scientist Nicholas Wright who advises the Pentagon and has written Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain and, Andy West, prison philosophy teacher and author of The Life InsideProducer: Ruth Watts

If we have to live in a world of extremes, I want it to be a world in which Magda Olivero reigns supreme. Her artistry combined both integrity (personal, vocal, and artistic), alongside originality and fearless risk-taking. She was never afraid to go out on a limb and it was this quality (alongside her extraordinary longevity) that endeared her to so many opera lovers. Today I have culled my Olivero collection and combined excerpts from a number of rare albums in my collection with material culled from The Magda Olivero Archives, maintained by Denis Robert, a friend and confidante of Olivero who has made it his life's work to present the great diva in all her many facets. We hear the great diva in excerpts from Manon Lescaut, Mefistofele, Traviata, Tristan (!), Bohème, Manon, Medea, and Adriana Lecouvreur (probably her most significant role). In addition, I offer up live excerpts from her two Carnegie Hall recitals as well as rare recordings of Italian songs, including an excerpt from her official farewell appearance in 1991 at the age of 81. There was never another soprano even remotely like her, and if she is your cup of tea (as she most emphatically is mine), this episode will provide an exceptional opportunity to revel in many aspects of her artistry. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

This week on CODEPINK Radio, Marcy Winograd and Medea Benjamin kick off a brand-new segment of Empire on the Rocks with a fiery round of “One Truth, Two Lies.” From Governor Newsom's squirming AIPAC moment to Chicago's mayor calling for a general strike and Trump's missile strikes on Venezuelan boats, Marcy and Medea expose how empire operates at home and abroad, and who's standing up to it. Tune in for sharp analysis, biting humor, and a global lens. In the second half, Marcy dives into California classrooms to uncover how the Israel lobby is rewriting “antisemitism education” to silence teachers who tell the truth about Palestine.

Mario Moroni"Tracce tragiche"Marietti1820www.mariettieditore.itSono Tracce tragiche riprese dalle grandi tragedie classiche di Antigone, Elettra e Medea, nelle quali Mario Moroni individua dei momenti salienti e dei valori simbolici da collegare all'epoca e alla condizione umana contemporanea.Tracce tragiche sono un lavoro di trasformazione e sperimentazione che, con la creazione di nuove soluzioni lessicali, sintattiche e fonico-ritmiche, produce un'esperienza di lettura potente, in cui si azzera la distinzione fra passato e presente.Mario Moroni è nato a Tarquinia nel 1955. Ha partecipato alla scena poetica italiana tra il 1979 e il 1989 con collaborazioni, letture e pubblicazioni, si è poi trasferito negli Stati Uniti nel 1989. Ha insegnato alla Yale University,al Colby College e alla Binghamton University. Ha pubblicato undici volumi di poesia. Nel 1989 Moroni ha ottenuto il premio nazionale di poesia Lorenzo Montano. Sue poesie sono state incluse in numerose riviste e antologie inItalia e negli Stati Uniti. Come critico ha pubblicato tre libri ed è stato co-curatore di tre volumi di saggi dedicati alla letteratura italiana ed europea moderna e contemporanea. In collaborazione con vari compositori e musicistiha prodotto tre opere multimediali di poesia e musica.

What terrifying trials did Jason and the Argonauts have to overcome to win the famous Golden Fleece from a fire-breathing dragon, in one of the greatest greek myths of all time? When and where does this thrilling story come from? How does it tie together the tales of Odysseus, Orpheus, Achilles and Circe? Is there any historical evidence for the story of Jason and the Argonauts? What are the origins of Medea, the beautiful but vindictive sorceress who Jason marries? Did the Greeks still worship the Olympian gods in the more skeptical Hellenistic age? How did the coming of Alexander the Great transform the Greeks' understanding of the divine? And, were the Olympian gods really once mortal kings and queens of an earlier age, or were they planets..? Join Tom and Dominic as they conclude their epic journey into the glorious heart of Greek mythology, as they explore their evolution in an increasingly skeptical Hellenistic world, and answer the question; why did the Greek myths endure and captivate audiences throughout history, in a way that no other culture's mythology did?

The Argonauts have arrived in Colchis, the Golden Fleece is within their reach. But Jason will need the help of the goddess Aphrodite and the sorceress, Medea, to face the challenges ahead. And that help will come at a price. *Sensitive listeners beware - some of this episode is gruesome!* Written and directed by Bibi Jacob. Sound and production by Geoff Chong. Original compositions written and performed by Chloe Dunn - with Louis appearing as Eros.  Featuring: Tom Morton as Aeëtes, Chloe Dunn as Aphrodite, Tercelin Kirtley as Orpheus, Ciaran Cresswell as Jason, Rose Romain as Medea. Sources for this episode include: Apollonius' ‘Argonautica', ‘The Orphic Argonautica', Euripides' ‘Medea', Seneca's ‘Medea', Pinder's 4th Pythian.  The extract from Euripide's ‘Medea' is in a translation by Ian Johnston, Vancouver Island University.

The story of Medea has been popular since antiquity and continues to endure today. Not least because big names want what's undoubtedly one of the meatiest female roles in theatre. Meatiest in its most gruesome sense, as Medea is most famous for killing her children in order to get revenge on her faithless husband.  Or at least that's the headlines. It is, of course, more complicated (if no less horrifying) than that, so our Mick was delighted that author, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes' latest novel, No Friend to This House, is her take on the Medea story.   They talk Medea as witch and midwife, Medea as refugee, the power of love, the dangers of motherhood and why Medea has proven so endlessly fascinating to storytellers and story listeners alike.  No Friend to This House is published by Mantle on Thursday 11 September, but available for pre-order now.

Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran have created some of comedy's most beloved characters, including Birds of a Feather's Sharon and Tracey, and The New Statesman's Alan B'Stard. As their play Dr Freud Will See You Now Mrs Hitler comes to London, they discuss alternate histories, the limits of comedy, and how they still make each other laugh. Medea remains one of the most complex and terrifying characters in mythology, and Natalie Haynes's new novel No Friend to this House reimagines the story of the sorceress from Colchis. She discusses depictions of Medea with theatre director Carrie Cracknell. As the National Gallery launches an architectural competition to build a new wing, funded by two huge donations from charitable foundations, art curator and critic Kate Bryan joins Tom to discuss what the building might hold, how the National Gallery might be able to attract new audiences, and the place of art in today's world. And the award-winning pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason joins Front Row to talk about her upcoming concerts, her album Fantasie and gives us a special performance. Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Tim Bano

Natalie Haynes has never been easy to categorise. A stand-up comedian turned broadcaster and best-selling author, she has built a career out of making the ancient world vivid, funny and urgent. In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien talks with the presenter of Stand Up for the Classics about her unusual path from Birmingham bookshops to the Edinburgh Fringe, and from Radio 4 to re-imagining Medea.They explore the strange alchemy of combining scholarship with humour, the myths that refuse to let her go, and why Jason may be one of antiquity's least heroic heroes. Natalie reflects on the teachers and family who first filled her life with books, the risks of carving out a career that no one else was doing, and the joy of turning classical stories into something alive for modern audiences.Clever, warm and very funny, Natalie shows how ancient tragedy and modern comedy can illuminate each other- and why she still feels most at home with the ghosts of Greece.Find out more about Natalie Haynes book and tour No Friend to This House here

I never provide shorts here, but let me know if this is something you'd dig, oh, you heretics in the podcast domains. An electric short where Jason connects these three figures. He also takes us on a profound and sometimes shocking journey through Zoroastrianism, Taoism, and the Greco-Roman World.

In this interview episode Sebastian speaks with podcaster, author, and host of Let's Talk About Myths, Baby Liv Albert. Liv has spent the last 8 years and 700 episodes of her podcast exploring the nuances of Greek and Roman mythology. Sebastian and Liv dive deep into the world of classical myth and talk about the myriad ways that the ancients understood their legendary tradition. In this free flowing conversation the podcasters get into their thoughts on mythical characters like Medea, Oedipus, Medusa, and Helen of Troy. Tune-in and find out how dragon chariots, ghost Helen's, and smack-talkin' playwrights all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is it: Book 4 of the Aeneid. The storm of love that's been brewing now breaks into full force. Two human sisters start flirting with disaster while two divine frenemies enter into a catty pseudo-alliance. It's a nuclear-grade meltdown of relations between the sexes, all taking place under the soaring vault of destiny. Dido transforms before our eyes into a deranged Greek tragic heroine on the model of Phaedra or Medea, while Juno and Venus find their power dynamic flipped on its head from what it used to be in Homer. It's master craftsmanship and master politics on Virgil's part...and hot tea for us.
