Show Notes
ODYSSEY: THE PODCAST - my 14 episode, 24 hour sequel to Trojan War: The Podcast - is now recorded and waiting for you. Subscribe through your usual podcast provider, or go to odysseythepodcast.com! THE STORY and A MESSAGE FROM JEFF WRIGHT (1:39:53) Odysseus confronts Priam, Menelaus confronts Helen, and Agamemnon confronts Fate and Deadly Destiny …. all on the night when the mighty city of Troy finally falls.
And so, with the city of Troy in flames and the Greek fleet set sail across the wine dark seas for home, history’s most awesome epic - the Trojan War Epic - comes to a close. We have travelled a long way together in twenty episodes, from Episode One: The Apple of Discord to Episode Twenty: The Sack of Troy. It has been my pleasure and privilege to be your storyteller and guide on that journey. I have enjoyed sharing every wonderful moment with you. And I have taken constant delight in (and energy from) your generous enthusiasm and support.
Of course a story this awesome generates its own “what happens next?” questions, plus an wealth of new subplots and sequels.
Fortunately for us, all of that "awesomeness" is now available for your podcast listening pleasure, at ODYSSEY: THE PODCAST.
My sequel podcast picks up the story right where Trojan War pod leaves off, down on the burning beaches of Troy. Odyssey: The Podcast tells all the tales found in Homer's Odyssey, of course, but also answers a host of "what happened next?" questions about Agamemnon, Menealus, Helen, and even the late, great Achilles!
You can listen to all 24 hours (14 episodes) of Odyssey: The Podcast on whatever platform you listened to Trojan War pod, or via odysseythepodcast.com.
