Welcome to an episode of Sappho, sex, rock and roll. Discover the first female voice of Western literature. This singer-songwriter from Lesbos pioneered female poetry and music.

Titillating Sclupture Pt.1 28:40

2y ago28:40

28:40

Louise Walsh tells the fascinating story behind her 'Monument to the Unknown Woman Worker.' This sculpture sparked the longest ever debate in the Belfast city council. The controversy was all about sex work, the commemoration of women, and sectarian politics. This expression is thrown around a lot, but Walsh does truly talk for Ireland. Enjoy.…

This man is gentle, fascinating, a…

Diogenes the dog 39:01

2y ago39:01

39:01

Diogenes the dog is an exclusive interview with the 5th-century cynic who lived in a barrel (sorry, wine casket.) I ask him a plethora of questions, such as "why did you remain single by choice?" and "what's up with you masturbating and defecating in public?"

Advice from Aristotle pt.2 41:34

2+ y ago41:34

41:34

They say curiosity killed the cat, and that’s why Advice from Aristotle Pt.2 is back. Aristotle gets a bad rep, but maybe his 'reason conquering all' is a useful logic to bring to the table? Why did Aristotle the investigator say “You can find beauty in the tiniest, ugliest thing?” So what’s up with moths the size of birds? What animals do you intu…

Advice from Aristotle pt.1 29:05

3y ago29:05

29:05

Did Aristotle think women need to have orgasms to get pregnant? Or that masters can be more 'slavish' than their own slave? Does Aristotle like 'ugly' animals? There is no ancient thinker who can speak more directly to the concerns and anxieties of contemporary life than can Aristotle. Olivia Fane and I deliberate Aristotle’s approach to slavery, w…

Stressed, depressed and Helen obsessed 28:37

3y ago28:37

28:37

Paris the Pacifist? Paris just stressed, depressed and Helen obsessed? Paris the love warrior? This interview with Paris of Troy really changed my perspective on the man. He is more than the cowardly home wrecker that meets the eye. Ipso facto, Paris has some inspiring insights on women in the Homeric Age of Greece, on the gods' intervention in war…

The Cleoportrait 26:16

3y ago26:16

26:16

The tantalising thing about Cleopatra is that little evidence survives from century Egypt itself. So “The Cleoportrait” conquers Roman propaganda painting her as a debauched temptress using sex appeal as a political weapon. We ask her about her marriage to her brother and her relationships with Caesar and Mark Anthony right up until the Battle of A…

Why philosophers get murdered 18:52

3+ y ago18:52

18:52

So why do Philosophers get murdered? Socrates was minding his own beeswax (kind of) before he got poisoned with Hemlock. Today we talk to Hypatia, Alexandria's preeminent philosopher, and arguably the leading mathematician in the world up to this date. 335AD Alexandria witnessed dramatic division between Christians, Jews, and Pagans and Hypatia’s s…

23:21

‘Sandals and Scandals’ is the mantra of Nefertiti from 14th century Egypt. Supposedly, this queen, priestess, wife, mother, political revolutionary, beauty icon, and maybe even pharaoh, has been shrouded in mystery and intrigue, but no longer.
