The live Europa Q&A with archaeologist @aalekas.bsky.social.
And what a corker it was! We went from immigration policy, operatic deaths, and immaculate conception, to ancient tax havens, property theft, and flying penises.

This was a profound episode dense with ideas, unexpected connections and relevance for our times.
Deeply satisfying.
As always, it requires another hearing.
What a colossal piece of research!

NEW 🌍 EUROPA II: How to invent a continent
How did a myth all about movement, fluidity, and cultural dialogue become an origin story of rigidity, superiority, and separation?

Netanyahu said last week in a speech that a ground invasion of Iran was necessary. Now, Israel has announced that the Israeli military will not participate in a ground war.
Yes they had obsidian.
🆕 And here it is - the brilliant live discussion and Q&A we had on Pandora. On everything from why misogyny is a perennial weed to what to do if you miss the last swan back to Avalon.
Happy #IWD2026, you wonderful people. A x

“The conversation about Britishness should be for many voices, but we do have a duty as politicians to help define it, because it will be a contested line in our politics, going forward. More crudely in elections, but more broadly for us as a country.” Loved chatting to @jeevunsandher.bsky.social.
Prometheus. Possibly the most urgent and evergreen of myths from @alexpodyssey.bsky.social. Alex retells his version with humour, then explores it with others and reshapes it with unexpectedly supportive images, icons that linger in the way that only a great story can. An achievement. A keeper.
Without knowing it, you have waited all your life for this! Stolen fire! A nice bit of liver for tea!
Get in! #Podyssey
If pouring one's love into a project matters, you can find pretty much all of mine in this Season 2 opener.
From Aeschylus to Blade Runner, Goethe to The Hulk, and Frankenstein to Musk, some stories are simply so cosmic they alter how we actually see the world.
Gosh here it is, such a creative process everytime that leads itself to new paths
Thanks to my beloved brother @sturdyalex.bsky.social. Enjoy our new episode podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/a...

BRAND NEW 🍏 How Do You Like Them Apples? 🍎
From the Garden of Hesperides to the Garden of Eden, from the Atalanta and the Trojan War to The Beatles and the iPhone, apples are laden with often conflicting symbolism.

Humaniora er studiet av det menneskeskapte. Data og teknologi er også noe menneskeskapt.
"Humaniora gir oss innsikten i hvorfor og hvordan teknologi bør brukes. Uten denne balansen risikerer vi at kulturarven reduseres til datasett, løsrevet fra de menneskelige erfaringene som gir den verdi."
@age-eaa.bsky.social Is it true that presenters were asked not to be political at EAA 2025?
So glad to be part of this.
🐍 MEDUSA - Here's Looking At You, Kid 🪦
Before Medusa was monstrous, she was beautiful. And before she was beautiful, she was powerful. She is a riddle that defies solution, from a time before the shape of things was settled.

Here itcomes another episode that has been such fun thanks to @sturdyalex.bsky.social
If you don’t already listen to @alexpodyssey.bsky.social please do - it’s absolutely fabulous. Love it 💗
This is probably the episode that I would Clockwork-Orange-force every Labour politician to listen to.
The amount of work that went into this 75 minutes almost killed me. I hope you get a lot of joy and insight from it. x
