The Memory Collective is excited to announce our plans for a huge livestream event to celebrate International Podcast Day! @mythsbaby.bsky.social @ancienthistoryfan.bsky.social @partialhistorians.bsky.social @theozymandiasp1.bsky.social @emmapauly.bsky.social @movieswedig.bsky.social

Dr G chats all things Vestals with the fabulous Liv from @mythsbaby.bsky.social 🥳 open.spotify.com/episode/0jXS...

extremely lucky to have friends like @mythsbaby.bsky.social who wrote the Foreword for YOU ARE ODYSSEUS! My lovely mailing list have been treated to an early preview of Liv’s brilliant words that introduce the book - as well as a pre-order giveaway!

Another great episode from @mythsbaby.bsky.social talking sacred band of Thebes and more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Because he said that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon as though they have not complied with the IAEA inspection as a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (which Israel does not and is not).

PLEASE!

Don’t let Israel, the USA, and UK gaslight you into thinking Iran is the aggressor. Israel bombed Iran. Iran always said they’d negotiate if Israel stopped bombing them. Israel is still committing a genocide in Gaza.

Never ever forget that Israel illegally bombed Iran. Israel is the aggressor here. Don’t let politicians and the media convince you otherwise. I know it’s a lot but we also can’t let this push the fight for Palestinian liberation into the background.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada. l've rereleased our episode about Thanadelthur, a Dene woman from the 18th century. The area she lived in is now being devastated by wildfires. In the episode I suggest ways you can help. episodes.fm/aHR0cHM6Ly9m...

On nonbinary gender, Plato, Symposium, 370 bc

Genuinely filled with despair from the replies here, with folks justifying why we ultimately need to let people starve to death for our own comfort. Just people giving up on a population whose genocide is being facilitated by our governments, because solutions are too hard and uncomfortable.

Did you know there are now FIVE episodes of #PeoplingPodcast Season 4 available to listen to?! If you've missed any of these fantastic discussions, here's a handy recap thread for you! In episode 1, we chatted to @anthropaulicy.bsky.social about illicit antiquities trading bsky.app/profile/peop... 👇

Things are about to get a bit ancient. I baked these biscuity sherds on a hemisphere cake tin in an attempt to recreate Ancient Greek pottery fragments in all three dimensions. The originals, dating from c.1600-435 BCE, can be found in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum.

Yesss! We didn’t time this, but here listen to the Partial Historians episode with Jane Draycott TODAY so that you’re ready for my episode with her TOMORROW! So! Much! Fulvia! Give me all the ancient women all the time!

You dont win the working class through transphobia, and I will tell you why: 1) Hating trans people and taking our rights does nothing to materially help cis people in working class 2) The majority of trans people are working class. Economic inequality hits us very hard. 3) Trans folks have a long

In the latest episode I am talking Greek myth with @mythsbaby.bsky.social. We get into it about Medusa, Medea, and weird twists on the Trojan war story. This one is for the real myth-heads art19.com/shows/our-fa...

I’m on Our Fake History ranting about mythological women (and Euripides) and it was DELIGHTFUL! Check out this episode and stay tuned for a reverse crossover coming soon!

A great recounting if Prometheus Bound by @mythsbaby.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

I know I’m still rarely on this platform but again I’m here to talk about my Naxian immigrant cat Anchovy. Following some googling I’m fairly sure he has major Abyssinian in him. Reading about their behaviour/personality is like reading his diary. Tell me he isn’t straight out of ancient Egypt?!

Alaa has unfortunately been heavily suppressed on this website - please consider donating to her fundraiser and share widely!

Thank you so much to everyone that helped make this special #Takeover episode covering #Epic The Musical possible! @mythsbaby.bsky.social took a big chance on the premise and @joegoodkin.bsky.social and @sentantiq.bsky.social were the perfect duo to discuss this modern retelling!

nice and simple: A substack post about a podcast (Movies We Dig takeover of Let's Talk about Myth's, Baby) about a musical based on the Odyssey. open.substack.com/pub/joelchri...

So thrilled to have @voguearchaeology.bsky.social host a takeover episode to talk all things Epic! Today’s episode features the perfect guests, @sentantiq.bsky.social and @joegoodkin.bsky.social and endless insights into the musical (and the Odyssey)!

"This is chiefly what I find important about creative receptions like Epic: The Musical. They both update ancient narratives for modern audiences and provide reinterpretations. In the latter capacity, Epic does as well–if not better–than a lot of scholarship. " open.substack.com/pub/joelchri...

Had a blast talking about Epic with @voguearchaeology.bsky.social and @sentantiq.bsky.social as part of Liv’s @mythsbaby.bsky.social podcast. Come for the reception talk, stay for the preponderance of 90’s music references.

HAPPY MAY DAY! WORKERS, ARTISTS, and STUDENTS OF THE WORLD! This is how I'll be celebrating, consider joining me.

Décidément, on parle beaucoup du catalogue des héroïnes en ce moment - et c’est top ! Si le dernier épisode d’Épique vous a intrigué, écoutez celui de @mythsbaby.bsky.social ! 🤩 (c’est en anglais, mais c’est excellent) open.spotify.com/episode/0cNa...

This is Anchovy, Jr. he’s trying to help with my children’s Odyssey retelling research but has found himself quite perturbed that an epic spanning the Aegean neglects to feature his hometown of Naxos.

@mythsbaby.bsky.social and I talk about Thetis, a fascinating and ambiguous ancient Greek goddess, foretold to bear a son stronger than his father. What's her story with Zeus/Poseidon/Hera/Hephaistos/Dionysos? Why was she raped by Peleus? Did she kill some of her children? youtu.be/BEgyl2_pgyg?...

OK, there is one metric by which I think Trump is doing well. Much further to go, though

Thetis lives in my head rent free

YOU GUYS! WE DID GOOD! But seriously, we love the show #KAOS so much. We are ecstatic that the creator, Charlie Covell appreciated our analysis of it. Special thanks once again to @apistone.bsky.social for discussing it with us. And thanks to @mythsbaby.bsky.social for platforming it as well!

Loving this episode from @mythsbaby.bsky.social! Applying #archaeology to our understanding and interpretation of mythological women is just the best! I cannot wait to get my hands on Emily Hauser's boom Mythica/Penelope's Bones.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

No bigot will ever convince me that trans women are not women. I feel genuinely sick over this.
