My biggest question about #bears after our #astronomy & #mythology episodes on #UrsaMajor & #UrsaMinor was -- did bears ever have tails?!

Answer? Maybe back when Daddy Z was a baby 😂

What is this #podcast about?
All things #constellations! Each month we explore the #astronomy & #myths of one of the #IAU constellations. We talk about cool #space stuff (with a bias toward #BlackHoles & #exoplanets) as well as analyzing & retelling the myths of the night sky (a segment we like to call ret-con…stellations)

Season 1: The Zodiac (completed)
Season 2: Quests & Curses (completed)
Season 3: Into the Wild! (Underway)

We talk a lot on our show about the... erm... complicated marriage between the #AncientGreek gods Zeus & Hera (tl;dr: siblings, who are married. Zeus often cheats on Hera. Hera brutally punishes the mortal who Zeus cheated with).

In one of our myth ret-cons, I recast Io as Dr. Io, a therapist who finally got Zeus and Hera to break up 😂

Yass, publishing milestone:

My Forgotten Greek and Roman Myths book is advertised with the CW "Non-traditional content." 😂

(Context: According to a new Hungarian law, any book containing LGBT+ content has to be labeled as "non-traditional". Including the famously traditionally straight Ancient Greeks, apparently.)
