Season 2: Episode 6: Circe by Madeline Miller

“Humbling women seems to me a chief past time of poets. As if there can be no story unless we crawl and weep.”

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Maddy from the “Forget The Wine” podcast to discuss Madeline Miller’s “Circe”. If you’ve read the book then you’ll know that there is SO much to talk about, which is why this episode is longer than usual.

Unfortunately we couldn’t cover everything but we tried our best. Press play to hear Maddy and myself chat about witchcraft, the petty Gods, sisterhood (or not), women and power, and underwhelming father figures. Enjoy!
