The Reading Party Podcast

🎉Season two starts on January 16! This season, Megan and Lexie will be talking about Egypt. You won’t want to miss it.

Are you obsessed with mythology and the ancient world? Does seeing Medusa in movies make you smile? Do you tell yourself, “Just one more page!” at 3am when reading a novel based on an ancient myth? Then your friendly neighborhood Ancient Historians have got you covered.

Join Megan and Lexie (with tea and snacks, of course!) as they read and watch books, films, and TV shows set in the ancient world and dissect every aspect of them.

New episode today! We wrap up Troy: Fall of a City. It's as depressing as you'd expect, but also the only possible way to end it.
