BONUS - No thing is just one thing

*** SUPPORT A SECOND SEASON ON ⁠KO-FI.COM/PODYSSEY⁠ *** This week
Alex gets to quiz the show's cultural historian, Dr Debbie Challis,
starting with the obvious question: What the hell is a cultural
historian?  Listen to Debbie explain her complicated
on-again-off-again love affair with the classical and the classic -
but also Greece itself. And her battle to be heard without being
labelled and filed away - something which every contributor to this
podcast seems to share; a compulsion to explore not just our
allotted piece of the puzzle, but how the pieces connect.
_________________ The myths, tales, and concepts of ancient Greece
echo and reach into every aspect of modern life. Often
misunderstood, frequently romanticised, and sometimes deliberately
twisted - to understand their origins and truth is to get a real
glimpse into the universal themes that connect us to the past and
each other. 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! _____________ Written and
