In the run-up to the highly anticipated release of Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey, why not delve into Odyssey: The Podcast, presented by Jeff Wright, Canada’s 21st-century bard!? This podcast, an engaging and innovate retelling of Homer’s Odyssey, with some diversions into fascinating points of context, was awarded the Society for Classical Studies Forum Prize, which rewards “the best public-facing essay, book, poem, article, podcast, film, or other piece produced each year, either by a classicist or by a nonclassicist” in 2019. Those seeking more context might prefer to begin with Trojan War: The Podcast, wherein Jeff expertly stitches together the different strands and myths comprising the Trojan War! Happy listening!
