Myths, Games & Meaning

What do Greek gods, video games, and popular culture have in common? More than you’d think.

I’m Dr Dani Shalet, and in Myths, Games & Meaning I sit down with scholars, performers, storytellers, and creatives to explore how ancient myth is constantly reimagined in popular culture for modern audiences.

From Medusa to Middle-earth, from the Hero’s Journey to Tomb Raider and Baldur’s Gate, we dig into the stories that shape our culture and how we express our hopes and fears through myth, storytelling, and play.
If you’re drawn to myth and the stories that shape popular culture, you’ll feel right at home here.

New episodes are released monthly.
