Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean (w/ Philip Harland)
Deep dives into various topics relating to the social and religious experience of antiquity, including separate series on: traditional worship in Asia Minor during the Roman Empire; voluntary associations of Jews, Christians, and immigrant ethnic minorities in Rome; and “a cultural history of Satan.”
Pontifacts (w/ Bry Jensen and Fry)
A “light-hearted, only slightly blasphemous podcast,” this series runs through all the Catholic Popes from Peter onward, commenting on wider cultural and historical context (e.g., discussions of Pythagoreanism, the early Church’s architectural contributions to Rome, imperial edicts about religious sacrifice). The series follows the Annuario Pontificio but also promises bonus episodes on Antipopes, legendary Popes, and other such deviations from the official Vatican list.
Antiquitas (w/ Barry Strauss)
http://barrystrauss.com/podcast/
Roughly weekly episodes presenting biographies, characters, legends, and leadership lessons of major public figures from antiquity. Episodes so far center on Achilles, Helen of Troy, Leonidas, Pericles, Alexander the Great, Hannibal, and Spartacus.
Partial Historians (w/ Peta Greenfield and Fiona Radford)
A riotous and information-packed series that zooms in on historical events, places, and people (for example, six episodes are devoted to the career and nachleben of Coriolanus). There are also episodes dedicated to the reception of antiquity on film (Spartacus looms large here) and cultural topics (lots of rich explorations of sex, sexuality, gender, and women’s experiences in Rome), which are the hosts’ particular fields of special expertise.
mythTake (w/ Darrin Sunstrum and Alison Innes)
Using a particular mythological figure or theme, or a specific piece of literature that is important for ancient myth, each episode unpacks the relevant primary sources to analyze their meanings and relevance. The podcast also considers the role of myth in the modern world and of ancient myth’s contemporary interpreters, so you’ll also find episodes devoted to topics such as DC Comics’ Wonder Woman and translations of ancient works by Ann Carson and Emily Wilson.
The Endless Knot (w/ Mark Sundaram and Aven McMaster)
http://www.alliterative.net/podcast/
A topical potpourri that uses etymology to explore history and culture, often via unexpected paths (the most recent episode, for example, looks at the meanings behind the names of Santa’s reindeer, touching upon Martial, Catullus, Saturnalia, and different incarnations of Eros in Greek thought, as well as a number of non-Greco-Roman topics).
Looted (w/ Zoë Kontes)
Launched with a Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Fellowship, this series explores the complicated landscape of the antiquities trade, with each episode using a physical object to set up discussions about larger issues: Cycladic figurines lead to how art collectors and museums fueled and continue to whitewash wholesale looting in the 1950s and 1960s; the Riace Bronzes and Fano Athlete lead to the gaping holes in international law; etc.
Literature and History (w/ Doug Metzger)
http://literatureandhistory.com
Long (1–2 hour) and detailed episodes on the literature of the Mediterranean basin, in which Metzger summarizes each work, quotes parts of it, and places it into its cultural and historical context. The series starts from cuneiform tablets and Gilgamesh and runs chronologically forward, with the most recent episode on Ovid’s Ars Amatoria.
