What this episode covers

In this episode, we think about the half-human, half-horse Centaurs. While most are violent, there are positive Centaurs as well. We interview Emma Aston, Professor at Reading University, who tells us about how Centaurs are part of the identity of certain Greek regions, while Professor Hawes of the Australian National University reads her favorite passage from an ancient medical writer who tries to imagine life—as a Centaur!
