The Odyssey: Trickster and Homesickness

Narcissus
We recorded this shortly after the 2024 US election results but, as it took some time to edit, we decided to post on inauguration day. In a time when self-absorbed billionaires have taken control of government, this episode's topic feels particularly relevant. Story begins | 2:00 Story ends |…
