Alex Andreou's Podyssey

If you do it now and elbow me discreetly when you have, I'll make sure you get the invite. A x

You should have an email invite now - make sure you look in any spam folders etc. and let me know if you have not received an invitation. Three sessions to accommodate as many of you as possible - on Thursday evening, Sunday afternoon, and next Tuesday at lunchtime. A x

You should have it now. A x

You haven't. It's about to go out. A x

You have not. Grappling with spreadsheets as we speak! A x

I had a joke about King Minos, but it got a bit lost. I could have done one on Asterion, but wasn’t feeling bullish. So, I tried Theseus, but couldn’t pick up the thread. I briefly considered Ariadne, but abandoned her. I’m such a Cretan sometimes.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

If you haven't discovered this podcast.. go listen to season one, it's fantastic.

And if you can afford it, do consider supporting it with a contribution.

Really looking forward to hearing season 2!

Niche content, but his story is SO interesting. Thinking of telling next season. A

Cancelled my #Disney subscription and used the money to support @alexpodyssey.bsky.social instead! 👍

Your msg on ko-fi cracked me up. A x

This podcast is every bit as good as everyone says it is. And this episode rips 🏛️🐍

Thank you! It means a lot. A x

Just listening to @alexpodyssey.bsky.social again. I have no favorite episode but if I did it would be Cassandra. Really looking forward to the next series. Well worth a listen.

Also, look at how many macho men are famous for never laughing. Including someone very much in the news at the moment. A x

This has been an extraordinary series. Making a special date in my diary to settle in for a deeply pleasurable listen later, and suggest you do likewise!

I did Classics at A level. These podcasts are incredible. I wish we had been taught in this way.

I've just listened to this wonderful episode and was about to write a glowing review when I read Martins one so decided he said it all really so I should give it a rest for once!

Let's all support @sturdyalex.bsky.social and sign up to season 2 right now!!

And ‘There’s no getting away from the Medusa myth’s sexual dimension - she turns men rock hard for pity’s sake’!

Having said that, the podcast IS on YouTube music, if that your platform of choice.

I am planning a short visualised version of the story. But the bulk of the show - the analysis and deep dive is really crafted as an audio experience. A x

All of the episodes of season one have been absolutely cracking. This one made me laugh out loud, too. but as ever, @sturdyalex.bsky.social makes the trivial deep and the deep accessible. It's wondrous stuff. Thank you. Will subscribe now. Can't wait for season two.

Well it turns out that everything I'd heard about this podcast is true. Nourishing brain food from the gods. If you're looking for some light amongst the darkness, subscribe:

Come for the mythology, stay for the music, the funny (yes, I’d like your winged sandals please thank you), the smarts (oh so so smart) and that voice. Thank you for season one, can not wait for season two, best £5 spent. x

Just catching up.

“More Tumescence than Sense”

You can’t just drop in a line like that! Not when I’m on a crowded train and can’t decide whether to laugh or retch and somehow end up doing both at the same time!

Such an incredible podcast! Informative and entertaining all for the cost of a coffee if you can spare it. Worth the knowledge you can bring to the pub quiz 😉. Thanks, @alexpodyssey.bsky.social for your genius

I am proud to support @alexpodyssey.bsky.social
