7. AESOP I - Virtue Signaller or Fake News Merchant?

*** SUPPORT SEASON 2 OF PODYSSEY ON ⁠KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY⁠ ***
Welcome to Podyssey with Alex Andreou. Each week we will take one
myth, one concept, person, place, or theme from Ancient Greece,
take it apart, figure out its inner workings, trace its influence,
juice it for its wisdom, reimagine, update and put it back together
- all shiny and new!  …  Stories have had a moral, for as
long as we have told stories. This week, Aesop; A crowd-sourced
literary celebrity. What is the fact and what is the fiction? And
why it matters. Written and presented by Alex Andreou Expert
contributions by Alexandra Angeletaki-Røe, Debbie Challis, Linda
Marric, and Dr Ruth Smith Exec. Producers Naomi Smith & Kenny
