Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Lexi and Philip unpack the darkly romantic myth of Hades and Persephone — a “match made in hell” with a twist. What starts as a kidnapping turns into an unexpected love story between the King of the Underworld and a goddess tired of being controlled. With humour, modern banter, and a dash of chaos, the hosts explore how Persephone finds freedom where she least expects it. Stay tuned for Part 2 — things are about to get messy on Mount Olympus.
