Have I mentioned that I co-host a podcast? (Sorry! I promise to try and shuffle in more non-pod content)

She's a very regal looking doggy @kickassemma.bsky.social !

To quote Chicago, "he had it comin'..."

I really do love the Athenian owl. I suspect this is due to early exposure to the original Clash of the Titans.

We had so much fun with this one... So much so, that's there's a bonus blooper reel available

This was so much fun to record with @kickassemma.bsky.social and Eleanor... In fact, we're also releasing a blooper reel!

Lilith. She refused to "obey" her husband Adam, left the Garden of Eden, and proceeded to pop up in different mythologies all around the globe. Demon, witch... However you describe her, she definitely kicked ass!

Really interesting piece about the archaeological evidence for a matriarchal society in Iron Age Britain: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Apocalyptic. Apocalyptic. I promise that I *can* say it.

Just tried a TimTam for the first time. Sorry Australia, but Penguins are better.
