Myths, Games & Meaning
What do Greek gods, video games, and film have in common? More than you’d think.
I’m Dr Dani Shalet, and in Myths, Games & Meaning I sit down with enthusiasts of every kind, scholars, performers, storytellers, and gamers, to explore how ancient myths are constantly reimagined for today’s audiences. From Medusa to Middle-earth, from the Hero’s Journey to Baldur’s Gate, we’ll dig into the stories that shape our culture, our games, and ourselves.
If you love myth, gaming, film, and finding fresh meaning in the stories we tell, you’ll feel right at home here.
Episodes are released bi-weekly.

Myths, Games & Meaning
From Tombs to Tolkien: Myths, and Geekery with Earl Baylon (Part 2)
Hey everyone, welcome back to Myths, Games and Meaning. I usually release new episodes every seven to ten days, but this one took a little longer as I’ve been battling a chest infection and completely lost my voice for a while.
I’m so glad to be back though, because this is Part Two of my chat with the wonderful Earl Baylon: actor, geek and gamer, not to mention Jonah from Tomb Raider.
We go full nerd in this one: Lara Croft, Lord of the Rings, the Valar, archaeology, and Earl’s story about finally meeting Elijah Wood at Comic Con.
So grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join us for Part Two.
