MythTake Alison Innes & Darrin Sunstrum A fresh take on ancient myth.Our podcast is a little different from other myth podcasts out there. Rather than telling the stories, we focus on analyzing the literary material where those stories come from. Sometimes we choose a particular figure or theme from mythology and examine texts relating to it. Other times, we choose a passage from a play or poem and discuss its themes and ideas. We also explore modern links to Greek and Roman mythology, whether we're talking about the solar system or Wonder Woman.Our podcast is unscripted, so anything can happen! We keep it real–we want you to feel like you’re sitting down and having a conversation with us. We also welcome your input–questions, thoughts, suggestions, ideas.Hosts Alison Innes and Darrin Sunstrum have well over two decades combined experience teaching and studying Greek and Roman myth at a university level.MythTake is created, hosted, and produced by Darrin Sunstrum and Alison Inne F&B Podcast Mitch Larson Weekly podcast catching fans up on everything happening inside (and out) of the Friends & Benefits Fantasy Football League.Weekly segments include fan questions, crowning of weekly MVP&D, and we close out the program by taking turns telling what we learned from the week of fantasy play.Submit questions to [email protected] to get involved in the show! Ten Pence Arcade Ten Pence Arcade This is a podcast focusing on arcade games from our youth – especially if you were a kid in the late ’70s to the mid ’90s. We will be focusing on some of the slightly less popular games from the arcades, but ones we hope you’ll remember. If not, hopefully we’ll encourage you to check them out on arcade emulation software, or if like us, maybe track down the original arcade PCB hardware to play on your own arcade machine. We will review and play a chosen game each time and compete for a best score. We want our listeners to join in too. As well as the chosen game, we will also give hints and tips on maintaining, restoring and even building your own arcade machines. Collecting these machines and things that go with arcade videogames is our passion Reading Plays Gareth Stack Reading plays is like a book group, but for plays. Each episode features an in depth discussion of a new or classic modern play. Each week we do a close reading of a play, discussing it’s merits, themes, issues raised, and so on. You can play along by reading or watching a production of the play before you listen to the show.Join Gareth Stack & James Van De Waal for a light hearted but in depth discussion of theatre, from classic French farce, to post modern drama.
