Look you have to have known this was coming. How can a podcast called Podyssey, not engage with Christopher Nolan’s epic Odyssey? But I wanted to make it special. So I have assembled a star team, of ALL the experts including, as a treat, film critic and Season 1 regular, Linda Marric.

Let me alleviate the tension and tell you - we all loved the film. But that doesn’t mean we loved it equally or loved it for the same reasons. Or that we don’t disagree with plenty of the artistic choices that were made - and with each other. We discussed every aspect of the film, including some pretty controversial ones, in a session that was almost as long as the film.

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!
