Cultures around the world have one thing in common: they love to tell stories! Over the centuries, this has resulted in the creation of timeless myths and legends that we can still enjoy and learn from today. Yet, there are so many of these myths—and often, so many versions of the same myth—that it can be difficult to feel like you have a real understanding of what is happening in a given story, let alone get a grasp on the forces that have acted on it over the ages. Podcasts are a great way to drill down to the heart of myths, both famous and obscure.
The best mythology podcasts not only revisit these ancient stories but also teach you about the culture from which they originated and the deeper meaning that the tale has taken on. Pick a mythology podcast from this list, and immerse yourself in classic tales of mighty gods, hideous monsters, and unlikely heroes. You might even embark on a family listening adventure—yes, despite mythology's well-earned reputation for being a raunchy bloodbath, many of these podcasts are suitable for all ages. An added bonus: all of these podcasts are available for free to Audible members.
