The Odyssey is Important

July 28, 2026 · 1 h 13 min

Show notes

This week, we dive head-first into the controversy over Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, and the importance of Homer, Shakespeare, and modern interpretations of their work.

We also FINALLY debut our long-awaited podcasting studio, where you can watch all of our facial expressions and see Emily’s interior decorating decisions by accessing the link to our brand-spanking new Youtube channel. Give us a follow!

Special thanks to Select International tours, and Kara Patrowicz, whose work will be displayed in August at the Worcester Art Museum. Learn more about Kara’s work at https://www.karapatrowicz.com/, and on Instagram here.
