Two women share and discuss myths, usually while drinking.
I really like the way they come at mythology. They treat myths as living, and tend to center cultural and personal subjectivities.
As a sidenote here, while discussing myths in terms of cultural/socialization utility (i.e. hey we have a myth to teach a lesson about how to behave) is sometimes an interesting lens, I find it *painfully* limiting when it's the only lens used. It's even worse when myths are framed as *only* existing for cultural utility.
