Storytime with Stephanie

SEASON FINALE: The myth of Eros and Psyche is probably one of the best love stories in classical mythology. Eros, son of Aphrodite, was the personification of intense love desire and he was depicted throwing arrows to people in order to hit their heart and make them fall in love. Psyche, a beautiful maiden, personifies the human soul. In fact, she is the symbol of the soul purified by passions and misfortunes and who is, from now on, prepared to enjoy eternal happiness. Eros = the original loverboi!!

Pandora’s Box is one of the most intense and descriptive myths of behaviour in humans in Greek mythology. This tale was used to teach them about human weakness and to explain the many misfortunes of MEN. Because one thing about men? They can kill. Enjoy!

An iconic and very misunderstood babe who we should stan. Medusa was a Gorgon who was essentially villainised for being sexually assaulted by Poseidon, and unfortunately went down in history as a seductive, evil monster. But she isn't. But....misogyny innit? *shakes fist* Let's get into her story.

Goddess of war!! Practical reason!! HANDICRAFT! A diabolical Queen who lived for the drama. Let's get into her story.

The finale of the season baybeeee! I hope you enjoy ths version of Beauty and the Beast, and I look forward to seeing you all again next year for season two!!

In celebration(?) of us moving into Aries season, I present to you the story of Ares, the God of War. He was a messy, petty, violent, annoying bitch who lived for DRAMA. Whew. Enjoy.

My guy prometheus was a scoundrel and a THIEF. Let's get into the chaos that ensued!

One thing about our good sis Aphrodite? That woman could LOVE, okay?? And unfortunately, it would be to her detriment. It's a heartbreaking story of the origin of two flowers – the red rose and the anemone. Happy listening (and sleeping!)

Welcome to ep 2 of Storytime with Stephanie! Now on to one of my favourite greek myths of all time, Theseus and the Minotaur. FUN FACT: I played the Minotaur in a primary school production. :))))

We're BACK baybeeeeee!!! This time we're (as in I, just I) are doing all things Greek Mythology, starting with one of my favourite Greek myths and the originator of the world's most popular buzzword of the moment: narcissist. As an aside, the majority of the episodes will be shorter this time round, due to how short a lot of these stories are generally! I also want to shout out the amazing Siobhan and James (@justauniform on Instagram) for Sound Editing this entire season! Please get in touch with them for all your podcast sound editing needs - they are awesome!

New episode, who dis? Today I'm telling the story of Hansel and Gretel, two kids who ate their way to glory (eventually)!!!

Sometimes having long, beautiful locks isn't all it's cracked up to be tbh. Also, thieves never prosper! Let that be a lesson to anyone who thinks about stealing vegetables from their neighbour. I get that we're in a cost-of-living crisis but damnit.

Is it a small world after all? This week's episode centres on the tale of Thumbelina and her adventures!

A tale about keeping your eye on the prize, regardless of the challenges. My man Jack was DEE-TERMINED to get that moohlah by!! any!! means!! necessary!! Join Steph as she recites the original cautionary tale of what happens when you attempt to send boys grocery shopping.
