For the Rest of Us
A podcast exploring the stories of figures minimized in mythology and folklore across the full spectrum of humanity. I present and discuss the queens, the hags, the queer folks, and everyone left behind by the warrior ethos that has dominated recent western thought. This podcast is suitable for pagans and non-pagans. All those who have a curious mind are welcome to expand their understanding of the divine and of the people who have worshiped them.
