Today we share a show that shares some actors with Vigil! If you like the work of Adam Qutaishat or Shayne Patrick, you can hear them on Psychopomos - A New Mythology. Psychopomos is a brilliant retelling of Greek mythology, in a modern, sexy, no holds barred setting that helps us examine our modern times. More information and links to learn more are below. --- Psychopompos - A New Mythology A Myth - The Weaving Contest “Well, girl. Let’s see what you can do.” Psychopompos - a new mythology takes on a very famous myth, The Weaving Contest, which pits the famed and arrogant mortal weaver Arakhne against the Goddess of the Loom, Athena. Narrated by Calliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry and the Chief Muses, she paints the scene as Arakhne disparages Athena to Pan and his friend, the satyr Marsyas, until the great goddess arrives to put her in her place. Content Warning: Explicit Language, Violence. Cast & Crew Pixie Leona as Arakhne Valerie Lyvers as Athena/Old Woman Anya Clingman as Calliope Miguel Long as Pan Mandyn Mueller as Marsyas Rachel Staelens, director, producer Joe Palermo, director of sound Roy Freeman, composer & musical director Resources:  Click HERE for a transcript of the full chapter (not for reuse).  For more information about the story and podcast, visit our site - www.psychopomp-cast.com.

I think we’re just a few weeks away from the big announcement of our next step, hopefully. These things take time and the last thing we want to do is rush to something that isn’t going to work. We’re committed to making a great season on terms that work for our artists. We thank you for your support and understanding in making that happen. And I don’t have a good segue for this week, so I’m just going to tell you about Psychopomos: a New Mythology. Psychopompos is a retelling of Greek Mythology the way it was always meant to be told, diverse, queer, dramatic, sensual, and filled with personalities that are fit for the Gods, Goddesses, and Goddexxs that inhabit it's political and tumultuous world. Psychopompos is not only one of the coolest podcasts out there, but it features several Vigil actors in its cast! One of them is Shayne Patrick, our brilliant voice over artist. And another is me, Adam Qutaishat! I play Hermes! And I don't just say this because I'm in the show, I truly mean it: I love Psychopompos. I'm such a fan of the writing and the storytelling. There's so much packed into each episode. You get deep cuts into the mythology for all you lore folks, and you get political and family drama on pace with your Successions of the world, while also feeling truly like your listening to a modern classic! Like, classic classic. Anyway, I could wax poetic about Psychopompos all day, or, I could tell you that we have the very first myth coming up in just a few seconds. If you like it, make sure you subscribe to their feed to get all that Godly goodness! Hope to see you on Mount Olympus. And now Psychopompos: A New Mythology - Weaving Contest.
