absolutely love this podcast. I’m still listening to the beginning episodes, so I have a ways to go. but man, I enjoy listening to it everyday. Liv’s musings on Greek mythology are hilarious. check it out for yourself.

I was bored with Greek mythology for years, the same stories told over and over, and usually badly- but Livs in depth background and multiple viewpoints of these stories rekindled my love for these stories- her interviews in particular are great and my favorite thing to do is throw one on while playing Assassins Creed Odyssey:)

To say that Liv has utterly changed my understanding of Greek myth is an understatement! I had always been interested in mythology, ever since grade school, but Liv has opened my mind to the multitudes of perspectives contained within these ancient stories. Her focus on a feminist perspective is desperately needed in a world still firmly in the grasp of the patriarchy. I cannot recommend this podcast enough!!

I can’t praise this show enough! It has just the right amount of whimsy, realism and education. I starts from episode one about a year ago and was hooked immediately! I first heard about this podcast while listening to Ancient History Fan Girl and new I had to find and listen to it. I am finally caught up to the present and I have loved seeing how the show has evolved and gotten better with each episode. I loved the retelling and explanations of the mythology but I have to say I have enjoyed the history deep dives more! The Atlantis and Sparta series were great and I am really looking forward to this new season of Bronze Age Greece. Thank you so much for creating this show and forcing me to think deeper about some of these myths and histories. I truly loved every minute of it from the mythology episodes to the conversation episodes I definitely have some favorites but all are wonderful and powerful in their own way! Keep doing what you are doing and I look forward to more!

I absolutely love this show! I love your story telling and funny personality. I’ve learned so much!

So you have a great podcast and the first I got hooked on. Besides the ads, the podcast and the stories are worth all my time. I work in fiberglass and pretty much bust butt for 10 hours a day and your stories make that time fly. I love hearing them. I know you appreciate these reviews and I appreciate your podcast! Thank you keeping up the raging feminist twist to it all! Best part I must say!

I listen to these at work, which makes the work day a fun experience. I also love to read fantasy books, & knowing more about the origins/backstory of myths adds more dimension to the characters - which I LOVE!!

Liv’s storytelling is magnificent and she takes no prisoners in discussing the horrors and misogyny of Greek mythology—while staying extremely entertaining rather than depressed and depressing. Helluva trick, that.

I stumbled upon this podcast a few months ago when trying to expand my Greek myth knowledge and it has grown to become one of my favorite series. Liv is funny, knowledgeable and unafraid to point out the ugly tropes of Greek myth and I just love her.

Hey liv, i'm a 24 yo masters student from iran and has been through some hard stuff in the past year too. i found your podcast in october when i was going through a really hard time and had trouble falling sleep so i tried to listen to podcast when i was ready to go to sleep. I remember i was trying some podcasts with some key words about my field of study to help me get motivated to finish my degree and it wasn't doing it for me so one night i thought i wanna know more about mythology and found your podcast, your content was so interesting that i stayed awake all night just obsessively listening to your episodes from the first one ( with the exception of some that were about a movie or a book i wanted to watch/read first) and after months of listening i finally caught up. You really helped me through some hard days and i wanted to thank you for that, actually you motivated me to read so much of the sources in the past few months and have so much mythology knowledge that i couldn't keep in my brain. So i started an instagram page to try to retell these myths in persian because not enough people in iran know how funny myths can be and they need to. I hope you find a way to feel better soon.

So glad I found this gem of a podcast. It’s become my obsession as I have recently found Greek Mythology fascinating and Liv does a great job sharing these with wit and humor. A must listen!

Liv does an amazing job making the classics relatable! I also love the recent dive into ancient geography, it’s so crazy cool hearing about ancient places and peoples who still exist under the same names!

After listening for a long time I am finally caught up to all the episodes! So much so that I listened to the show for 13,000 minutes in 2023! So worth it! Liv and all her guests bring a fun and modern perspective to ancient mythology and history! If you want to learn but have fun while doing it, then this is the show for you!

I am almost caught up on this show and I have absolutely loved it, I love the way you tell stories and my favorite episodes are the greek plays that you go through. Thank you for doing this and making them so enjoyable

I’m just ten years old and I love to learn about these Greek stories I specially love the spooky season ones.

I found this podcast about a year ago and i absolutely love it so much. I have always loved greek mythology and i never knew how to go about learning more about the original texts of these stories. Liv and her podcast has just increased my love for all these stories and i love listening to this podcast whenever possible!

I just recently started listening but I love this podcast. I’ve been into mythology since 1st grade and this podcast is an amazing source for mythology. I love all of the sarcasm and how Liv calls out all of the sexism and toxic masculinity and the various other problems. Greek mythology is amazing but let’s face it, it’s got some problems. I also love how she mentions Achilles and Patroclus probably being in a relationship and how this podcast is like hey being gay isn’t a new thing. I just love this podcast so much.

Liv has developed THE pre-eminent podcast on ancient mythology out there. Her continual self-improvement in spreading awareness of context, translations, and sources, combined with her format variety from conversations to direct readings has created a wonderful example of what is possible for other creators. While Liv is focused on Greece, I hope others take up the torch to teach other stories from around the world in such a thoughtful and interesting way

I came across your podcast today something I don’t honestly I’ve never read about Greek mythology. I’ve never nothing anyways in numerology.

Liv’s enthusiasm for the subject drew me in — I stopped by to hear more about the white supremacist origins of Atlantis & other “lost civilizations” and ended up listening to five episodes that first day! I recommend it to my friends who want something besides true crime to get hooked on.

Really enjoy this podcast! A few episodes in, but its super fun

Well, I’ve been listening for quite while now. I didn’t think I’d make it this far, but the vitriol (thankfully) has been toned down quite a bit. She says she doesn’t hate men, but I really feel like she does… 🤷🏼‍♂️ Challenge for Liv: do an episode about a man you hate, but explain away his misdoings the same way you do for the women. It’ll be a fun game! Anyway, I listen for the stories, so it’s good for that. The conversations are boring, but I just skip those.

I love hearing Liv and her added insight and excitement adds so much to each podcast! TGwinn

I personally need podcasts to be fun and conversational because i have a very short attention span. this one fits the bill and is also so informative and liv tells stories with a lot of passion. if you’ve struggled to learn about greek mythology through other mediums, this is your chance—it’s like having a friend explain it to you :)

I’ve been running through the archive so fast! I love this!

I’ve been a mythology nerd since I was literally five, and I love this podcast! It has lots of interesting takes on stories I already know, as well as some that I didn’t know. I also have a new interest in Greek drama now. I just spent last weekend hunting in used bookstores for translations of Euripides thanks to you! My only criticism is that I’d like to hear more from your cat. Thanks!

I have been listening to this show for about 2 years now and have recently gotten through the entire back library. The way the podcast expanded from just retelling the stories to including all the context as Liv’s knowledge has grown has been great to watch, and I love the feminist perspective. I also wanted to say thank you, because the Atlantis pre-bunking series inspired me to use my machine learning background to start a Substack that tries to clearly explain new scientific concepts so people don’t fall down a QAnon rabbit hole.

You are hilarious Liv! I love this podcast

i absolutely love this podcast!!! i’ve been listening for about a year and a half now and it just gets better and better! i love liv’s feminist take on these ancient myths and stories! it’s amazing how well she balances appreciating them and (much needed) critiquing of them as well!!! this podcast is so amazing!!!!!! 10/10 i recommend it to literally anyone with the slightest interest in mythology at all

This podcast is fantastic. Liv is a great storyteller and this podcast got me through a cross-country roadtrip. I learn so much and I will keep listening!

Helps me so much thanks x

If you are one of those who always likes Greek Myths, Trojan War stories, and the adventures of Agamemnon and Oedipus you have to try listening to Liv. Intelligent, real research and new insights

Liv’s Happiness and authentic enthusiasm is so contagious it’s impossible to be sad listening to her! Thank you Liv for helping more than you could ever know🤍

This podcast is wonderful, all about the weirdness and awesomeness of Greek myths. Liv Albert’s love of the subject is evident in her enthusiastic and melodic delivery. She also frequently has great guests to bring insight into specific topics. 5 stars!

When it started it was sooo fun and informative, but now I feel as though it’s more of a podcast on women’s rights and personal opinions, which I stand with fully! But why is it getting so intertwined into these stories that used to be so fun to listen to? We know that at this time women did not have rights, but we do NOW, so I feel as though harping on to it in ancient mythological stories doesn’t help to move forward as you think it might.

Angry victim host oozes through the pod. The content I found skewed- presentation affects content- by a woman I suspect has trouble finding joy. There is some researched content I appreciated and perhaps I am being harsh. Yet Pandora’s “box” really being a top heavy jar doesn’t have to be symbolic of anything more than fitting a narrative. The host uses her resentment hammer on everything, nail or not.

This is amazing and funny! Best Greek mythology podcast I’ve heard!

F-bombs strung together by poorly organized sentences.

Entertaining for the first few years of episodes then as she got more sponsors(so many other podcasts ads, annoying!) and more confidence, it turned into a mostly feminist podcast with occasional geek mythology. A good amount of information gets choked out by obnoxious “wokeness”. We get it; you love feminism and love to virtue signal for the LGBT+-# crowd, which you’re probably part of. You lost me and probably most straight male listeners(if there are any). Even her singing of the title gets so ridiculous and annoying. Done!

hi, i started listening to your podcast since I think 2019 and I now have just graduated high school. I listened to your podcast on the way to school, when I was working, when doing math homework, etc and I wanted to let you know that I am now pursuing classics and archaeology at my dream college this year thanks to you. I had not known that myth and history could be this fun until you inspired me to do my own research, and before your podcast I had not even known that classics was a major you could do. I wanted to thank you for such an amazing podcast and I want to thank you for helping me out! you rock

She does give some good info, but her speech cadence is so annoying. She ends every sentence like she’s trying to be a quippy news anchor, if that makes sense? Also, the constant references to the patriarchy and how anti-women they were- it gets old. Just give me the info already. A little banter is great, but she’s just…. too extra.

Some podcasts are good but some have sexual stories and sexy stories making not that good

Greeking out is so much better I hate this

Just recently got into podcasts, and this was the first one I started. Currently binging it from the start, and already so invested!

I just really like it lol, she’s super funny I love how she adds something to all her stories, I could listen to these whenever and I hope I never get to the end of the podcast, like I actually cannot get enough

I listen to this pod on my free time and I love it!! It keeps be focused to what she is saying! ❤️😘😍😊🥰💕💙💜💔💗🖤💛💖💞💚❣️💓😻🧡💘💝🤟🏽

I liked the show in the early days and found the feminist/modern perspective on these old stories fun and informative. Sadly… certain things in the episodes have started to grate on me: - repetition of “I’m so busy - this podcast takes so much time!!!” - “Theseus is the worst” (he is but why is it mentioned in every episode? We get it!) - the entire Atlantis series was SO repetitive and confusing. People think Atlantis is real??? So much time seemed devoted to “debunking” something that is widely accepted to be false. Also the distinction between myth and a story from Plato is basically meaningless to me - if the host is upset that it’s considered a myth… don’t cover it on your myth show? - episode length has increased but the volume of valuable/interesting information in each episode has stayed the same.

I love this podcast because Liv has such a fun way of making all the great stories from Greek Mythology come to life! Her delivery is exciting and thoughtful!

The material and knowledge covered is very interesting and I would continue to listen to her if she would keep to that only. But the tangents, rambling, off shoots, and personal opinions are so distracting I can’t listen to it anymore. It’s unfortunate because when she actually covers the material it’s interesting but I don’t need the constant sidebars.

This is my 3rd update to my review. I stand by everything I said before, Liv’s talent for storytelling is phenomenal! If you’re interested in Greek Mythology, ancient History, AC Odyssey, Percy Jackson, etc: this is the podcast for you. Updating my review!! I’m so excited for your SECOND book! Woo hoo!! I’ve been listening since 2018 and this is hands down my absolute favorite podcast. I love it so much I barely even have the words to express it. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful, amazing, entertaining podcast, Liv. I’m so excited to read your book and I hope it’s not your last!
