Oh My Gods

Hey y'all - today we're gonna be talking about Noah, Deucalion & Pyrrha, and giving Gilgamesh a quick shout-out. Taimah will answer the question that everyone has been dying to know: were there unicorns on the Ark? And Caroline is back with more Zeus content as we struggle through our very own flood that is finals. As always, thanks for listening! Don't forget to follow the podcast...

Today we're giving ya'll the second episode in our Myth in Media series! We're talking about one of Taimah & Caroline's favorite Disney movies: Hercules (Honey you mean HUNKules ). If you love Danny DeVito and agree that Meg is the best Disney princess, this is the episode for you. We'll discuss whether it's accurate (definitely not) and how much we like it (Caroline ha...

Happy Easter! Today's episode is all about Jesus' death. While Taimah tells the Passion story Caroline gets to learn all about crucifixion and discuss the similarities between your favorite Nazarine and Norse mythology's Baldur. The Ghost of Christmas Future (aka editing Taimah) makes several guest appearances in this episode so look forward to that, and we'll be back real soon wit...

If your favorite part of Game of Thrones was the Cersei/Jamie Lannister romance, then boy do we have an episode for you! Today Taimah talks about a little-known Bible story that takes place right after the events of Sodom and Gomorrah (spoilers: it's basically Israelite propaganda against the Ammonites and the Moabites), and Caroline gives a new meaning to the term "Oedipus complex"....

Welcome back to another episode where we debate the age-old question: is Hades and Persephone a better love story than Twilight? We discuss the myth of the Rape of Persephone (NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS WE PROMISE), the hymn to Demeter, and modern interpretations of this myth that have made it incredibly popular, but also incredibly misunderstood (I'm looking at you, Lore Olympus). As always,...

Welcome back to another episode of Oh My Gods where Taimah and Caroline question whether to smash a god or die trying.

Someone said that the only two things you can be sure of in life are death and taxes, but I would like to propose another: you can always be sure that a man will always talk about himself. In today's episode we are taking two stories from early Roman history and talking about the amazing women who were not given a fair telling at the time. Trigger warning for sexual assault and suicide - these...

It's Spooky Season, and in honor of the best time of year, we're talking all about what happens when you kick the bucket. We cover Abrahamic religions, of course, the Greek and Norse afterlives, with a bit of Celtic and Egyptian thrown in just for fun. If you stick around till the end of the episode, you can hear us talk about what we think of death, and how Caroline wants to be bird shit...

Guess who's back? It's us! (shocking I know) This episode is a little all over the place but definitely worth a listen. Today Caroline talks about the birth of Hermes and how he and Apollo became best buds. Taimah recounts several stories about Paul including that time when Paul preached a sermon so boring someone died. We end with a bit of a discussion about the concept of religion so sti...

After a bit of a hiatus - Oh My Gods is back baby! Taimah and Caroline were finishing the spring semester and starting their summer jobs, so please don't curse us for not uploading in a minute. Today is the inaugural episode of what we hope will become a mini-series where we discuss mythology as it is portrayed in modern media. In today's episode we are looking at the God of War video game...

It is spring and love is in the air! No, wait. That's just Zeus turning into a shower of gold again to get some. Despite my (Taimah's) incredibly cringy title - today's episode takes a bit of a serious turn with the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. We also discuss the Bible story of Ruth and Boaz and learn the answer to the age-old question: who enjoys sex more? Guys or girls...

Happy Women's Month! In today's episode we're highlighting some of the coolest (and deadliest) women in myth. From Clytemnestra to Esther, and Brigid to Deborah and Jael - celebrate this Women's month by reminiscing about some of the baddest - and holiest - that mythology has to offer. As always, thanks for listening, and we'll be back real soon! If you're still reading don...

Today's episode is all about our favorite queer feminist: Dionysus. Tune in to listen to our *thoughts* on Euripides' The Bacchae and answer some of the most important questions of all time - Is Dionysus Jesus? Does ACAB include Pentheus? And most importantly, how can I join a bacchanal? Once again thank you all so much for listening. Don't forget to subscribe, follow us on all the soc...

In this installment of the never-ending anime battle between christianity and all other religions, St. Patrick takes on the druids of Ireland.
