Mythunderstood Podcast

Merry Holidays. We're talking about the mystery Holly King and Oak King today. Hope you all had a lovely day.

Up to our old nonsense. Reunited in LA and recorded two episodes! Perhaps we'll figure a way to deliver more.
Also the Irish storyteller referenced on this episode was who told an excellent version of this tale on his YouTube channel Story Crow. He does great mouth laser sound effects.

Hi Mythfits! Paul here. I'm still alive. Remember an episode where I talked about a musical I'm taking to Fringe about Female gladiators? Well, it's finally happening this August. It really is because of Mythunderstood that this happened. All of the research I was routinely doing led me to stumble upon this fascinating piece of history.

If you feel like paying attention to this project and seeing where it goes/how it evolves, I'd appreciate you wandering over to and cheering us on. The world can be an upsetting place and this project is designed to simultaneously bring joy and critical thoughts about current events- you know, the idea that we could actually learn something from history- revolutionary, I know.

Hopefully, this project can be successful so I can position myself and Sarah to produce other myth and history related content. Mythunderstood isn't quite dead, it's just sleeping like Endymion under Selene's spell. Gladiatrix is one of its babies.

Thank you. ❤️

Calling all mythfits: join us for a live q&a episode tomorrow 11/16 12pm PST! Link in bio.

NEW EPISODE📢

In the time of Thutmose III, General Djehuty faced off against the people of Joppa. It's said to be like the Egyptian version of The Trojan War, but Paul disagrees. Sarah talks about tour and wonders how you say “tour”…and more!
