In this episode we talk with musician and composer Michael Levy, discussing his historical recreations of ancient music and exploring a wide range of topics and ideas including interstellar exploration, the nature of true creativity, and (of course) the gods.

Find Your Gods

Episode Seventeen: Talking With Michael Levy

Listen in on an interview with Daniel Fletcher (Creator, Writer) and Rebecca Louisell (Director, Writer) as we discuss their mythology themed web series "The Pantheon".

Episode Sixteen: Meet "The Pantheon" - A Conversation with Dan Fletcher and Rebecca Louisell

Season Two kicks off with a simple question: What do you give the man who has everything?

Episode Fifteen: A Useless Gift

Here at the end of 2018, we invoke the god Janus and let the past fall away as we look ahead to the coming year.

Episode Fourteen: A Ritual for the New Year

At long last, we return to the tale of Orpheus and try to gather up all the loose threads and draw them together before his tale is done.

Episode Thirteen: Reunited

In this episode, we take a break from the story of Orpheus to have a conversation about idols — exploring that compulsion which drives us to make things and worship them.

Episode Twelve: No Other Gods

In this episode, we revisit the story of Orpheus and explore how he dealt with the loss of his wife once he returned from the Underworld.

Episode Eleven: First Flowers

What’s this? A surprise holiday episode? Yes indeed, one chock full of enough irrational ranting, broad generalizations, and mythological speculation to spark arguments with your family for the entire season. You’re welcome.

Episode Ten: "Santa, will you help me?"

How far would you go for love? What would you risk? What would you give up? Would you follow in the footsteps of Orpheus? And would you fail, as he failed?

Episode Nine: I Am Here Because She Is Here

This week, we take a look at the story Ceyx and Alcyone — those two devoted, doomed lovers who endured a separation that tested the depths of their devotion and raised the sympathies of their gods.

Episode Eight: Do Not Let Me Go Down Unwept

This week we take a deeper dive into the myth of Hermaphroditus, exploring the god’s role and resonance in the world of Alchemy.

Episode Seven: Hermaphroditus and the Alchemy of Self

At the pool of Salmacis, the son of Aphrodite and Hermes meets a nymph who simply won’t take “No” for an answer. In this episode, we dive into the myth of Hermaphroditus and do our best not to go too deep.

Episode Six: “Blessed Are the Parents Who Made You”

You think you know the story of Pygmalion and Galatea, but you don’t. The myth of the artist who falls in love with his creation is lovely but quite different from the original text. In this episode, we’ll look back at Pygmalion and trace the path of his romantic but surprisingly kinky story all the way to the modern day versions.

Episode Five: My Girl

The story of Persephone and Hades is a complicated one. It has fear, disappointment, anger, joy, love, wonder, and reconciliation. No surprises there. It is, after all, the story of a marriage. In this episode we take a little trip to the Underworld, getting better acquainted with Hades and taking a closer look at his courtship of Persephone.

Episode Four: The Unseen

In our first “dark” episode, a Facebook comment from last week gives us a springboard for a conversation exploring the inherent tensions that exist between (and within) monotheism, polytheism, and atheism.

Episode π: Only One God

Find Your Gods is a celebration of the ancient myths and an exploration of their resonance in our modern world. In each episode, we take a look at a story from mythology and explore the underlying themes and ideas. The gods are still among us. You just have to look for them.
