Mythsogyny
Join story nerds C Alexandra and John Cordial in their often meandering, but certainly illuminating conversations about the stories humans tell themselves and the way no one—not even gods and heroes—can escape misogyny.

It's Not Easy Being Green (Sir Gawain and The Green Knight)
•
Season 1
•
Episode 4
Camelot! King Arthur! Guinevere! Morgan Le Faye! This episode C and John tackle Arthuriana and take on the tale of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight! What it means, the mystery behind the author, the connections to nature, and, most of all, the queer undercurrents of the classic poem. Yep, it’s a special Pride episode where we also talk about lgbtia+ history along with feminism! We’re all sorts of social justice warrior this time. Or social justice knights, really. Is that a thing?
