MYTHILLOGICAL
Mythillogical is the podcast where two enthusiasts of mythology, history and folklore try and make sense of the wide variety of fantastic tales told by cultures around the world. We discuss why the same idea can show up in the mythology of cultures on opposite sides of the world, what real events can inspire superstition and folklore, how stories can completely change over time, and where possible try to figure out what could have inspired people to dream up dragons, demons, gods and monsters. May contain wild speculation, terrible puns, and if we’re lucky, actual facts.
THE FINEST CITY
Every city has a story, and this one is about San Diego. You might know it as paradise of ocean and sunshine, but as the most biodiverse region in the country and one half of the second largest bi-national metropolis in North America, it is also a battleground. We’re talking with the creatives, environmentalists, and social justice warriors who’ve been on the frontline fighting for progressive planning in this uniquely special city. We will also be exploring the history of land use activism in San Diego starting with the founding of Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 sixty years ago. If you love history, cities, and design, you won’t want to miss The Finest City.

RADIO HORTUS
Radio Hortus is een tweewekelijkse podcast over de Hortus botanicus Leiden, de oudste botanische tuin van West-Europa. De interesse in de natuur groeit als kool, maar over het doen en laten van de botanische tuin is niet veel bekend. Hosts Robbert Folmer en Mathilde Simons gaan in gesprek met de werknemers in en om de tuin om je een kijkje te geven in de wereld die schuilgaat achter het groen. De muziek die we voor elke aflevering gebruiken is het nummer 'Eternal Youth' van de artiest RŮDE.
REAL MOVIES FAKE HISTORY WITH GAZ AND MEL
Real Movies Fake History is hosted by two friends, Gaz (the film nerd) and Mel (the history expert), who each episode discuss, debate and laugh about the real history behind diverse and important cinema. We seek to discover the true story behind films apparently based on a true story. With a particular interest in gender and cultural representation, we love nothing more than to speak on how a particular film represents the world around us.
