Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcomed Cleo and Callie of the Melanin Muses Podcast for a bonus episode built around Hamilton trivia, anime, and mental health advocacy. The conversation traced how Melanin Muses began during the pandemic, moved through the meaning behind the podcast's name via Disney's Hercules, and dug into how algorithm bias against Black-branded content shaped their marketing decisions. Cleo and Callie used Fruits Basket's Tohru Honda to illustrate self-neglect, referenced Naruto's Sasuke and Fullmetal Alchemist while discussing community building, and pointed to Avatar: The Last Airbender's Zuko as an example of using pop culture to spark connection. Callie, a clinical therapist, grounded the discussion in practical guidance for creators, including warnings about parasocial relationships and the permanence of internet content.The Mental Health Check-In featured Kendrick Lamar's "United in Grief" as a reference point for Mo's disclosure of living with bipolar II and a prolonged manic episode, alongside Ode's discussion of unmedicated ADHD and PMDD and Cleo's reflections on upcoming travel to Japan and Korea. The Big Mad segment covered postpartum depression awareness, the loss of public figures including Tim Curry and Dolly Parton, and the arrest of Milo Yiannopoulos by ICE, closing with a critique of science fiction's robot-as-oppressed-minority allegory. The episode ended on Making Us Happy, featuring the Love and Deep Space character Valko, a karaoke callback to Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century's "Supernova Girl," and mentions of the Melanin Muses Fruits Basket episode.You can find Melanin Muses Linktree here: https://linktr.ee/melaninmusespodcastConnect with the Snerdy Crew: Watch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy

The winged horse Pegasus is one of the most iconic figures in Ancient Greek, and indeed world, mythology. Our study of the majestic creature takes us to unexpected places, from the dark depths of the Gorgon Medusa's lair, to the heights of Olympus. We uncover symbolic meaning in the Pegasus story with just as much range, from the workings of our innermost selves, to a cosmic lesson.Our study of Greek and Roman sources in art and texts including Hesiod's Theogony and Ovid's Metamorphoses.Much love to Downtown Dallas, Texas, where this was filmed! Pegasus Plaza is a lovely urban area dedicated to Pegasus and the Muses, and the fine people at Pegasus City Brewing have great beer and a really cool atmosphere.00:00 Introduction00:07 Perseus on Pegasus Slaying Medusa by John Singer Sargent00:20 Pegasus on the Fountain Hippocrene by Benvenuto Cellini00:25 The Muse on Pegasus by Odilon Redon00:38 A Monster Transformed01:02 Achilles and Memnon, between Thetis and Eos by the Munich Painter01:06 Pallas Athena by Gustav Klimt01:13 Running Gorgon by the Berlin Painter01:21 The Idol of Perversity by Jean Delville01:38 Medusa and Neptune Embracing by Johannes Zainer02:03 Secession Poster by Gustav Klimt02:13 Medusa by Jacek Malczewski02:46 Portrait of Actress Helena Sulima as a Gorgon by Jacek Malczewski02:53 The Head of the Gorgon Representing Tuberculosis by W Wassermann03:14 Head of Medusa by Godfried Maes03:19 Legend of Galatea by Baldassarre Peruzzi03:34 Medusa Shield by Arnold Böcklin03:38 Head of Medusa from the Uffizi Gallery03:44 Medusa by Evelyn de Morgan04:00 Pegasus Departing by Albert Pinkham Ryder04:21 Pegasus' Flight04:29 Winged Horse from the Louvre04:34 Minerva Visits the Muses by Jan Brueghel the Elder, Joos de Momper the Younger, and Hendrick van Balen the Elder05:04 Pegasus Among Flowers by Józef Mehoffer05:19 Pegasus by the Barclay Painter06:02 Chimera by the Bellerophon Painter, photographed by ArchaiOptix, licensed under Creative Commons06:12 Bellerophon Killing hte Chimera by Francesco di Giorgio06:28 Bellerophon, Pegasus, and Athena from Pompeii06:44 Bellerophon and Pegasus by Julius Troschel06:49 Bellerophon Mosaic from Nîmes07:08 Bellerophon and the Chimera from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens07:15 The Ultimate Flight07:19 Bellerophon and Pegasus from Apulia, photographed by Romanwindwhistler, licensed under Creative Commons07:39 “Yes, there he sat, on the back of the winged horse!” by Mary Hamilton Frye07:52 Jupiter and Bellerophon by Erik Cornelius08:16 Bellerophon on Pegasus by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo08:43 Bellerophon is Sent to the Campaign Against the Chimera by Alexander Andreyevich Ivanov09:00 Pegasus' Wings09:23 Pegasus and the Hydra by Odilon RedonMythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogosAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.

In this episode of Living Myth, Michael Meade talks about the "inner initiate," the part of us that is ever willing to take a new step that can lead to a transformation of our life. After connecting the inner initiate to the Muses, Meade reveals how the ideas and images that he finds most compelling come from the Otherworld as the primary source of inspiration. Following the thread of inspiration leads to a description of liminal space as the betwixt and between realm where both awakening and transformation can occur. Liminality appears as "a betwixt and between place of radical uncertainty and not knowing; but also as being on the edge of becoming." Not knowing where the world is going, not knowing what the future will be like, can be troubling and even defeating. Yet, the place of great uncertainty can also be seen as the edge of becoming where a genuine transformation of life becomes more possible. It was while realizing that the heart is the most liminal of all places that the title of the new book appeared as The Heart of Transformation. "The heart I'm referring to used to be known as the heart within the heart; not the heart as a physical organ, but the age-old sense of the spiritual heart, the mystical heart that burns with the flames of passion, that lights up with the spark of inspiration, but that is also the heart as center, as the place where the opposites meet; the heart as the place of illumination and as the dwelling place of inner unity." Secretly, our own hearts are continually incubating and imagining a greater sense of life. When the heart within our heart finds ways to open, we become more capable of love and more able to act as vessels through which creative and healing energies can enter this time-bound world. The subtitle of the new book, Personal and Cultural Renewal on Earth leads directly to the sense that in transforming our own lives we join nature, which is always in the process of transformation and renewal. In awakening to this deeper, inner, more genuine sense of self, we help awaken something in the world as well. Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Spyros Siamos is an energy healer, esoteric author, and former mathematics teacher based in Messinia, Greece. He lives on a coastal olive grove situated near an ancient Temple of Apollo, where he conducts one-on-one healing sessions and hosts sound therapy, meditation, and spiritual workshops.A father of two and author of three books on esotericism, Spyros has explored various healing modalities and trained in Peruvian Shamanism for over ten years. He recently established Esothen Messinia—a dedicated space created to host accessible, low-budget creative and spiritual holidays, as well as affordable retreats in Greece.English is not Spyros' first language. Many of the concepts we touch on in this episode are ones that he wishes he could wax poetic on in his mother tongue. Never the less, this apparent limitation gives us, the listener, the opportunity to, like Apollo, allow ourselves to be engaged in the struggle of birthing the light.We begin with Spyros' childhood. His father taught primary and encouraged his interest in the ancient myths of his culture that were taught in early education. Spyros experienced myth as a way of tapping into the threads of history. Once in high school, myth was no longer taught. He replaced mythology with philosophy as that's what was considered to be the sensible thing to learn. To put away childish things. Then, through his exploration of the interior landscapes with a Peruvian Shaman, in the depth of his own consciousness, the mythic figures he'd learned about in early education returned as guides. First Athena, Aphrodite, Dionysus and others. And after a few years, Apollo. It was this first hand experience with the gods that I wanted to connect to On the Soul's Terms. Apollo (or the astrological Sun) not just as a concept that we can form opinions on and argue on the costs and benefits of such a god, but as an emergent, embodied, felt sense experience that is personified in Ancient Greek culture as the deity of light, harmony, balance and a clarifying light at the centre of it all. Later in the episode we touch on how and where Apollo has shown up in Spyros' healing work. Including the first time, when he was in the position of healer for a young man who had gone into a coma following a motorcycle accident. Here the god helped him to stay in a state of observation whilst the pain, suffering and emotion swirled all around him.We talk about the cultivation of the mind necessary to be in right relationship with such potent energy fields. And the risk, that Spyros himself has suffered personally, of having one's system blown open when that light is unmediated. Which draws us to the field of the Muses or the Angels or the Daimones. Whatever one might call that layers of consciousness that is neither this nor that, both... and. And how they can help us to create from a steady hearth rather than from bright sparks that leave us singed in the end. Spyros will be hosting a retreat for men in Greece in October. I'll be personally attending. For more information on that click here. The episode artwork is from the West Pediment in the museum in Olympia. We discuss the scene in the episode – The Centaurs vs the Lapiths. Apollo stands in the centre of a chaotic battle between consciousness and instinct. Victory, in this sense, is not a case of overpowering the instinct, but of locating the light whilst being open to it all.Join the Newsletter!Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Overview: Elroy sits down with Elsbeth to unpack her perspective on AI ethics — where the technology helps, where it risks harm, and what responsible use actually looks like in practice. Topics covered (In no particular order, as the rabid squirrels of Elsbeth's AuDHD brain don't do "order"): Elsbeth's path into AI evaluation and content moderation, and how that shaped her thinking on ethics in practice What "ethical use" of AI means day-to-day, not just in the abstract Respecting intellectual property — the case for protecting artists and creators as AI tools become more capable and widespread Finding the balance: supporting AI's genuine benefits without letting them come at creators' expense AI as an accessibility tool — its particular promise for neurodivergent people, and where it can lower barriers others don't face Where the conversation is heading next, and what listeners should watch for Closing thoughts: Elsbeth's take is one of cautious optimism — a call to hold both truths at once: AI can do real good, and that good has to be built on respect for the people whose work made it possible.

In this episode, we'll be exploring tales of sun gods – and their relatives – brought to earth. It… rarely ends well, as one might imagine. We'll start in China, with the tale of Hou Yi and the Ten Suns, then explore some other tales of solar destruction from Greece and Egypt. All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings." ---- Wendell BerryThe situation that Berry describes is a creative edge, the place where the known meets the unknown, where what is and has been realized and understood fades into the possibilities of what is yet to be.Two questions arise for me in contemplating this creative edge. Where do we look for guidance? Or rather, what are we in conversation with when we reach the edge of knowing? And what is a good way to court this guiding source, energy, inspiration, or wisdom?The nine Muses of ancient Greece and their mother, the Titan goddess Mnemosyne, offer some ideas.Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at catherine@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Dear Ones, This Sunday - paint flowers with me and the Muses. A daylong paint and sip in Sonoma and virtually. No experience needed - really. Just come. You will have so much fun - there is still time to get cake and rose' or sparkle water and brushes and a canvas a big as you choose. ~ Shiloh Sophia The Muse May Speak in FlowersMy muse usually shows up in leather, lace, and feathers with rhinestone sunglasses, glinting in cowgirl boots with gold wings. This is how I've come to know her since she made her company available to me. The first time she spoke to me, her language was red-winged blackbird, and pomegranate seeds the color of moon blood on white sheet red. She didn't come with platitudes. She came with instructions and keys. Oh, so many keys to so many doors I know nothing about. And she only occasionally allows me to try one to fit in the lock. She doesn't let me try if I am good. She only offers them if I am willing to be bad. Not bad as in bad versus good, but bad as in badass. Because my Muse is a badass. Yours is too, most likely. She won't offer us her gifts if we stay safe. She always wants a bigger canvas. She always wants a bigger brush. She always wants too much water. Because she told me sometimes size does matter and it would be much better if I painted naked and barefoot. She walks me to my edge and then tips me over Into that muse place where all the colors bend and come alive in me. The place where I remember who I was before all of this heart-breaking open stuff of life. Today, she showed up differently. I haven't seen her quite like this before.She tempted me with an old lure, lightning for breakfast. But then she added soft, full-hipped orgasms in the sunny afternoon, the ones that start at the top of your head and shimmy down to the tips of your red toes. Today, she brought me pain à chocolat. A chocolate croissant from Paris where she dreams me alive. You see, I was there for weeks and now every dream I have is taking place in the streets of Paris where we're all having Tea with the Muse. You see, I haven't been feeling so well. You see, this life has been too busy for me. But it's not her who abandons me. It's me. Who abandons me. Then I can't hear her voice so clearly. The tones, they are muffled. The colors, they are muted. And the riddle is that I cannot hear her if I abandon myself. I cannot hear her speaking in sunflowers speak. For a minute, just a minute, I resisted. I protested. Haven't you seen what is happening in the world?Isn't having Tea with the Muse a frivolity? She rolled her giant eyes, of course, and as she did, I swear dragonflies flew all around her, their wings glistening. Where had they been hiding? Then I started to court her. I courted her when the stars still shone on the waters. I sat in the deep well waiting and looking until the sun shone on my freckled shoulders. When I saw her, of course, I was dazzled. She flirted with black-eyed Susans on her nipples, a star jasmine crown of white, oh, the scent of her, coral-colored roses blooming around her hips, a peony at her vulva, pink with magenta strokes. In her hand, she carried ripe peaches from the tree just right there, and the first pears of the season. There was a long train of geraniums trailing behind her of every color. Hummingbirds hovered around her head and the bees, I could hear them singing as she approached and pulled me from the water and that was whenthe ravens began to sing and cluck. She took my hand and in my hands the seeds of foreign flowers flowed, perhaps flowers from France. She told me that flowers are the language of poetry and that I better get used to hydrangeas that speak in periwinkleand gladiolas that hum in yellow and rhododendrons that talk too much. She warned me: Get your ass to the canvas or else, biatch. I know she threatens when I'm in danger of losing some deeper sense of self. It's just been slipping between the cracks. Or I have been slipping through them.So here I sit, having this Tea with the Muse, feeling the fog depart and the numbing soften. Her hands are on my hands now, clicking and clacking as I attempt to tell you about a visitation from La Muse and I invite you to call upon your own. Hint: She may speak in flowers or ravens or dragonflies. Do not take this visit lightly. Take it from me that without her the well dries up, the colors fade and the belly clenches and the heart moans of longing. The Muse She isn't always right on time. You can't just expect her. She has her own timing.I feel like today I got really lucky. As she took her leave, I could swear I saw Dogwood from last season dancing around her wake. She looked back, winking, her job well done, and I began to laugh. And now to the page. And now to the dance floor. And now to the canvas.

This episode, we'll explore stories inspired by the ImpossibleQuest that Commodus is calling The Contest of Godly Strength. So, when I think about gods and heroes who have performed feats of incredible strength, there are really two who leap immediately to mind. One of them is Heracles, who we've talked about a lot on this podcast – and another is the Norse god Thor. I'll tell some of their stories, as well as introducing you to the bronze giant Talos and the Malaysian hero Badang! All stories told on Myths & Muses are original family-friendly adaptations of ancient myths and legends. Stories from ancient mythology can also sometimes deal with complicated topics for young listeners — to the mortal parents and caretakers reading this, we encourage listening along with your young demigods to help them navigate those topics as they explore these epic tales.

In this expansive three-hour presentation, renowned Canadian ufologist Grant Cameron addresses the Vancouver UFO group, offering a profound deep dive into the intersection of consciousness and the paranormal. Moving far beyond traditional "nuts and bolts" theories, Cameron presents his "Theory of Wow," arguing that the phenomenon utilizes unexplainable events to spark "on curiosity" and awe, dragging humanity toward a more complex understanding of the world.A central theme of the discussion is the significance of "dream signs"—bizarre physical indicators such as scoop marks, triangles on the hands, and clothing found inside-out and backwards. Cameron posits these are intentional signals designed to wake participants from the "dream" of material existence. He explores the "indigestible truth" reported by high-level intelligence officials: that our physical world is an illusion, and reality is actually a non-local field of consciousness or vibration where time and space are mere constructs.The session further explores the striking 37% overlap between UFO experiencers and Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), suggesting that both involve a "ripping of the veil" that triggers psychic opening and profound spiritual growth. Cameron emphasizes the primary message consistently delivered by non-human intelligence: Oneness. This core teaching asserts that all things are interconnected, and that the mistaken belief in separation is the primary root of human conflict.From the mechanics of flying conscious craft using thought and vibration to the role of Hollywood and intelligence agencies in managing disclosure, this recording provides a comprehensive ontological framework for the contact experience. Cameron concludes that the universe is a participatory experience where consciousness—not matter—is primary

Despite the June jobs report coming in weaker than expected, Charles Schwab's Kevin Gordon considers the inflation story the main focus of the Fed's forward momentum. He urges investors pay attention to the impact it will have on American wallets, as a significant shift in wages will push the Fed toward stronger interest rate hikes. When it comes to markets, Kevin talks about the "MUSES" versus the "AAMMO" as Micron (MU), Samsung and SK Hynix poses new dynamics for Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META) and other hyperscalers. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
In this episode, we're going to look at the ImpossibleQuest he's calling “The Witch's Test.” Now, mythology is full of witches, sorcerers, mages, and other magical types – but they don't all put heroes to specific tests. In Greek mythology, Circe and Medea do more to help Odysseus and Jason than to test them, and other witches like Grimhilde in Norse mythology are just interested in getting their own way, by whatever means necessary – the heroes are just obstacles to them. There are some, though, who take it upon themselves to make heroes prove themselves. So let's hear a few of their stories!

Send us Fan MailPlaywright Marc Mantell stopped by Playwright's Spotlight after directing the production of Dr. Freud, I Presume written by recent Spotlight guest - Donna Scarantino. Marc's playwriting journey is nothing short of fascinating, and this discussion is unlike anything any past interview or any episode down the road. While I tried to unpack Marc's process, I was met with stories of a journey ill-remembered, as if the Muses were always at his beck and call and each play appeared on the page. We open with the history of his first play Nobody's Home from it Katherine Hepburn's letter in 1984 to its winning Best Play at the Road Theater in 2014. We delve into his journey into playwriting, how the age of his characters in Nobody's Home prevented future productions, his continual ability to "avoid" success, and what happens after a break in playwriting as well as pushing forward to "what's next". We talk about his success without Rae Allen, writing in an age without technology, writing musicals, his experience in Bogota, Columbia, how his playwriting influences his directing, and moving away from past projects. Marc is a charming personality and enigma whose story is captivating and well worth listening to. Enjoy!Marc Mantell is playwright, director, and screenwriter and holds a BFA in Theatre Arts from New York University. He has written lyrics and libretto for several musicals including “Quadroon” (music/lyrics: Joe Sample and Jonathan Brooke) which premiered in Houston, Texas, and “Por Siempre Navidad” (music: Maria Isabel Murillo) which played two consecutive seasons in Bogota, Columbia. His play "Nobody's Home" WINNER of the ROAD THEATRE COMPANY: BEST PLAY...SUMMER PLAYWRIGHT'S FESTIVAL 2014.

In today's Bob Dylan Hotline, Laura and Rebecca get a little mystical. Bob Dylan himself has often described the creative process as magical, and through the years has also been drawn to mysticism like the Tarot. We talk about creativity as alchemy, which Tarot card Bob Dylan most identified with, and the spell that music can cast. The Tarot deck we're referring to is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck from 1909, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith.Listen to the podcast episode about Creation and Creativity in "My Own Version of You" and "Mother of Muses" here.If you have a question for us, send us a voice memo to bobdylanhotline@gmail.com.For anything else get in touch at itsdefinitelydylan@gmail.comYou can support Definitely Dylan on Patreon or with a one-off donation at buymeacoffee.com/definitelydylan.Book your Bob Dylan Walking Tour of NYC with Rebecca on ramblintours.com.Get your Definitely Dylan baseball cap here.
This episode explores Apollo, the Muses, Memory, and Helichrysum—where mythology, culture, and aromatherapy meet.As the season turns from Artemis to Apollo, I look at what happens when the young yang aspects of the psyche mature into clarity, direction, and mastery — and what collapses when that masculine principle forgets its lineage. We explore the Muses as channels of collective memory, Mnemosyne as the river that keeps hubris in check, and Apollo Musagetes as the conductor who can only function when he's in right relationship with them.I talk about the Duchamp exhibit at MoMA and the cultural drift into “look culture,” drawing on Sophie Gilbert's Girl on Girl and the long shadow of the AIDS crisis — how desire moved into the visual realm and left us with a disembodied gaze. We trace how this shift severed Apollo from the Muses, leaving us with spectacle instead of depth, performance instead of relationship.And then we return to the body — to aromatherapy as an embodied antidote. To the intelligence of aromatic molecules and their direct line to memory, emotion, and meaning. This leads us to Helichrysum — Immortelle — a plant of memory and deep healing. A plant that cools swollen yang, steadies drifting yin, and reminds us that creation is never ours alone.If you're drawn to myth, memory, culture, and the living intelligence of aromatic plants, this episode will meet you where you are.Access the companion article here.
Can transcendence still make philosophical sense after modernity? John Vervaeke speaks with philosopher William Desmond about Platonism as a living tradition, the meaning of strong transcendence, and Desmond's philosophy of the metaxu: the between. The conversation builds from John's proposal that relevance realization and transjectivity are philosophically grounded in Desmond's ontological account of the between. John begins by distinguishing modern psychological accounts of transcendence from the ancient and Platonic sense of strong transcendence. In this stronger sense, transcendence is not merely a better state of mind. It discloses truths that are otherwise unavailable and changes the knower's relation to reality. That claim challenges modern assumptions about flat ontology, the buffered self, representational cognition, and the fact-value split. Desmond responds through Plato. He presents Plato not as a dry theorist of two worlds, but as a philosophical artist of the between: a thinker of mimesis, eros, mania, dialogue, singularity, and participatory transformation. Plato's dialogues are not ornamental containers for arguments; their drama, characters, and dialogical movement are part of the philosophy itself. The later conversation opens into deep memory, imagination, eternity, possibility, God, Daoism, intercultural philosophy, pilgrimage, and the life-world. Desmond and Vervaeke converge on the need to move beyond the view from nowhere and return philosophy to transformative practice, embodied dwelling, and a richer contact with the sources of intelligibility. Key Insights Strong transcendence has epistemological and ontological significance, not only psychological benefit. The metaxu, or between, names a porous relation before, beneath, between, and beyond modern dichotomies. Modernity's fact-value split risks producing default atheism or default nihilism. Participatory knowing offers an alternative to treating cognition as internal representation of an external world. Plato's dialogical form is integral to his philosophy; the drama cannot simply be stripped away to extract arguments. Mimesis involves relation between image and original without collapsing their difference. Eros and mania point to two directions of transcendence: from below upward and from above downward. Deep memory is a source of imagination and ontological depth, not merely storage of past facts. Possibility should not be reduced to logical possibility; living possibility points toward enabling power. Pilgrimage and theoria are linked: philosophical transformation requires being on the way, not merely observing from nowhere.

For this episode, we're focusing on the Quest that Commodus is calling “The New Labors of Hercules”. So, what might that mean? Maybe we can figure it out – or at least get some kind of idea – by examining the old Labors. Most of the Labors of Hercules feature fantastical creatures of some kind, and we've talked about some of them in prior episodes. But we did sort of have to speed-run through them, so let's look at a few more in-depth now. Plus, if you haven't received this year's prophecy from our Oracle yet, you can hear it in this episode!

Where can I find a woman like...Dante's girl? On this episode of Young Heretics, we finally get the high-fallutin' invocation of the Muses we've come to expect from any epic poem. But it's not enough! Dante needs more woman than the Muses can be...more grace, more truth, more light. And it comes from on high--first from the Virgin Mary, then Sainty Lucy, then finally his beautiful, his famous, his beloved Beatrice. Today we introduce this central figure in the Comedy, inspiration of Dante's career and "lady of his mind." We'll talk about the Muses, memory, and the communion of saints. And hopefully by the end, we'll see how much courtly love meant to the poets of this age--and how much, perhaps, it can mean to us.

Definitively our most Canadian conversation yet!In this episode of Material Girls, we once again take a look at Heated Rivalry — this time focusing on the Canadian-ness of the show. We were joined in February by sister of the pod, Hope Rehak, to think through the show's popularity as it relates to puritanism. This time around, we brought in John Batt (he/him), the brilliant mind behind the Instagram account @canada.gov.ca,* to help us think through the show as CanCon (Canadian content).Together, Marcelle, Hannah and John consider what it means for something "to be Canadian." They broach the myth of Canadian culture as a monolith and do a historical deep dive on The Massey Commission to get a better sense of how CanCon became institutionalized as a nationalist endeavor.
