One of the more famous of tales from the mythology of Ancient Greece. The tale of Jason and his search for the legendary golden fleece. Join Patrick and returning guest Nick for this wacky discussion of this Greek epic. We have a naughty uncle, a one sandal prophecy, a vengeful goddess, and a wise centaur. All that (as well as more heroes than you can poke a stick at) and more in part one of the Jason and the Argonauts.

Gets nice and cosy as Patrick continues his solo retelling of the Germanic epic, The Nibelungenlied. Fresh off the victory against the combined armies of Saxons and Danes, its time for a part in Burgundy. But our hero Siegfried is distraught by the love he bares for lady he’s never communicated with. Perhaps this victory celebration will be the setting for the long-awaited meeting of Kriemhild and the falcon. Settle in because there’s also word from across the sea of a badass warrior queen named Brunhild who’s laying down a challenge. We have an athletic contest and questionable cloak actions all as part of a love quest for Gunther.
If you want to get appraised on the story before this then check out episodes 9 and 18.

We're heading back to Greece for a tale of the rise of one of her favorite sons, Theseus. The strapping half-man half-god who will eventually become the hero of Athens. But what's a hero without their origin story? Join Patrick and first-time guest Matt (different Matt) as they discuss the parentage, upbringing, and the quest which a young Theseus undertakes in order to do 'hero stuff.'
There's a giant turtle, a bloke who loves slinging trees, a witch who controls a massive pig, and a wine-skin prophecy. All that and much more to be found in "The Rise of Theseus."
