Season 1

Saturday, December 16, 2023 • Duration 01:20

Hello and welcome to Greeks and Geeks the podcast that takes us on a persnikity but fun journey deep diving into the lore of our favourite myth and fantasy stories. I’m Sabrina, a teacher, writer and all around nerd and in this, our first series of the podcast, we’ll be answering important questions such as, how does Percy Jackson really compare to his namesake, the Greek hero Perseus? Is there more to the Greek witch Circe than modern and ancient male writers have portrayed? In a battle of Prometheus and Frankenstein, who infuriates me more and on the fantasy side of things, what does Kiki’s Delivery Service have to do with the Satanic Panic? What the heck is cozy fantasy and does Good Omens count? And will I stop asking rhetorical questions? All this and more will be discovered. But for now I’m off to get buried under more research in true Daughter-of-Athena fashion. See you for the first two episodes, coming out December 19th. For now I’m Geeking out! Bye!!!

Epic the Musical: The Troy Saga with Jorge Rivera-Herrans

Season 2 · Episode 3

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 • Duration 45:50

Jorge Rivera-Herrans returns to discuss Epic the Musical: The Troy Saga with me! The first saga of Epic: The Musical starts off before the events of The Odyssey, at the crux of the Trojan war, the 10 year long epic struggle between the Greeks and the Trojans. It is a dramatic saga filled with Gods, battles and a choice which will haunt Odysseus throughout the entire musical.

But what are the sources which inspired the musical? In this episode we'll discuss the differences in the ancient texts (such as The Odyssey and The Illiad) and Epic. We'll also be analysing the characters, the themes and the music.
