The Emerald explores the human experience through a vibrant lens of myth, story, and imagination. Brought to life through the wise, wild, and humorous vision of Joshua Michael Schrei — a teacher and lifelong student of the cosmologies and mythologies of the world — the podcast draws from a deep well of poetry, lore, and mythos to challenge conventional narratives on politics and public discourse, meditation and mindfulness, art, science, literature, and more. At the heart of the podcast is the premise that the imaginative, poetic, animate heart of human experience — elucidated by so many cultures over so many thousands of years — is missing in modern discourse and is urgently needed at a time when humanity is facing unprecedented problems. The Emerald advocates for an imaginative vision of human life and human discourse as it questions deep underlying assumptions about societal progress. more

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O'Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we've been telling stories and playing music from that day to this. Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories more

You've heard the story. Now hear the case. Every culture tells stories about violence, betrayal, revenge, disappearance, obsession, grief, and power. Over time, those stories become myths, legends, and folklore, passed from generation to generation long after the original events have been forgotten. Humanity's oldest stories preserve humanity's oldest crimes. Folklore Forensics reopens humanity's oldest cases, investigating myths and legends from around the world as if they were real crimes. We reconstruct timelines, examine evidence, question witnesses, and follow the trail wherever it leads. Along the way, we ask not only what happened, but why cultures chose stories as the way to remember it. Because folklore is more than entertainment. It is a record of the fears, desires, anxieties, and transgressions that societies could not stop talking about. A way of preserving difficult truths. A way of making sense of the unthinkable. What details were exaggerated? What facts were lost to time? Why did certain crimes become monsters, curses, prophecies, and ghost stories? And what do humanity's oldest stories still reveal about us today? New cases every week. Hosted and written by Danielle Christmas. more

Introducing a new mythological god, monster, or story in just five minutes.

A podcast about myths, movies, and one doctor of classics teaching two dumb idiots about history and mythology

Myths from around the world with some history on the people and civilizations that told them.

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 misguided love of AI technology to convince her to create this podcast—a place where the gods, with their instinctively chosen voices, could recapture the ears, if not the hearts and minds, of people everywhere. Here, you'll find gods and goddesses playfully peddling products like Ambrosia Bites —guaranteed to keep you going on all of life's treacherous journeys—and recounting folklore from around the world. From the spooky legend of Devil's Pool in Australia to the whimsical and obscure folktale of a clever Sheikh in Yemen, you'll find a treasure trove of folklore, both ancient and modern, traditional and twisted, on this podcast. Hades, with his deep and somber basso profundo, narrates, while his madcap family lends their voices to the characters. In addition to the tale, each 'regular' episode includes fun facts from Hermes, the psychopomp, who will share culturally significant information about each country or region visited. Persephone or Dionysus (depending on the season) will also share a recipe for something delicious to eat or drink, bringing the country's delights straight to your dinner table. And finally, Zeus, the king of the gods, offers his Lightning Round, where you, our audience, can win a prize if you can answer correctly—no easy task when you must sift through the cacophony of these heartwarming and whimsical gods. In the beginning, this podcast posted a story each week like clockwork, but after Hades realized that AI ghostwriters were killing the fun (and frights) out of the stories, he decreed that all future stories would be human-written. Though our earlier work is here for history's sake, we may go back and redo them, for Hades, that unrelenting taskmaster, has both patience and time on his side. In addition to the regular episodes, you'll find hijinks from the rest of the family, and even some visits from the Roman pantheon, too. To put it simply: there will never be a dull moment here in this corner of Hades's Underworld. A labor of love, this podcast is a way to share the world's stories, enjoy a few laughs, and chronicle one creative writer's journey as she was initially bewitched by AI and reunited with her creative soul. Please note that all 'sponsorships' read by Zeus are completely fictional. This podcast, like storytelling by the fireside, will forever remain free from all monetization. more
