Fireside Folklore with Hades

Once upon a time, gods and goddesses walked among us, granting their favor to heroes and creating sea monsters because … well, because they could. After one too many festivals was ruined by a vengeful Poseidon who thought the sacrifice of fish upon his altar wasn’t flaky enough, a hero bravely constructed a wall so thick and impenetrable that not even the most industrious of gods could breach it.Fast forward to 2023 when, as part of a wager, Hades decided to leverage one hapless mortal’s brief

Send over your dead SMS messages.Soldiers of folklore, it's Ares here! I just thought I'd pop in with a little song to stir the pot. Also, I wanted to be first! Did you know that Tuesday is associated with Mars, my Roman counterpart? So I'm releasing this (or at least immortalizing this content) on Tuesday. Enjoy! Or if you don't, tell anyone but me because unlike my uncle Hades, I will send my horde of dragon-tooth soldiers on you! Just kidding ... or am I? And speaking of irony, this s...

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! This retelling of the Golden Pail is akin to the quest for the holy grail. I've run into all sorts of impediments, but this time, my friends, it's a good one! That is, good for me and perhaps a touch of a nuisance for you, for you see, my friends, I've thrown myself headfirst into the process of creating the episode in a way I haven't before. Prior to this episode, the deadline was front-and-center. Of course, I wanted to create meaningfu...

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners. We have been feverishly working on the Golden Pail but it hasn't been completed and my father, Chronos, isn't doing me any favors! So, I thought I would share a letter from a listener ... with her permission, of course! As we close out May and Mental Health Awareness Month, please know that whatever struggles you may be going through, you are not alone. After my response, I was struck by inspiration and sang a song, but listeners, let me ...

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! Time in the Underworld moves differently, hence my delay in sharing the conclusion to the ceasefire between Hera and I which was too many millennia too late! Ironically, it was my podcast which convinced her that Zeus wasn't cheating on her and I really (and truly) wanted to make peace. You see, listeners, we gods do love to hold our grudges, and after Heracles came down to the Underworld all those millennia ago and requested that I allow...

2024/05/17

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! Today, we travel back in time to a time when ancient Greece was in its prime, and heroes walked among us. We learn about Heracles, the hero who was tasked with performing twelve Labors to atone for slaying his family in an induced fit of madness. The final Labor, as you will see, involved the Underworld, because Hera was trying to get rid of Heracles. Hades wasn't having any of it, hence the silence between these two deities and Hera's ab...

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! I received quite the audacious dead letter the other day, and given the fact that I appreciate honesty and chutzpah, I decided to humor it. Yes, I really am deliberately delaying my ceasefire! Although I won't swear this upon the river Styx. After all, such an oath isn't the sort of thing I'd make for something as trivial as this. In any case, it appears that Ares did quite the job with this podcast. Perhaps I should let him take ove...

2024/05/04

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! The tale I've been wanting to tell, The Golden Pail, requires far more characters than we have deities for! This is primarily because a few of us, including myself, are at odds, and we're all too stubborn to move from our entrenched positions. However, if I am to rail against you mortals, or rather your elected and appointed officials, for their zeal for war, then it would behoove me to try and broker some ceasefire agreements amongst my ...

Send over your dead SMS messages.Greetings, listeners! After the passage of the Divine Censorship Act by the U.S. Congress, (and overwhelmingly, I might add), I'll be ceding my podcast to my eldest sister, Hestia. Never fear, though! You'll still get to enjoy stories, recipes, fun facts, and games! Tonight, you'll hear an adaptation on L. Frank Baum's tale, now dubbed "The Box of Puppies". You'll also learn why winning is unfair, and the importance of straining every speck of pulp out of your...
