À propos de ce contenu audio

Ladies of Lore is dedicated to the women of mythology and folklore, from goddesses, monsters, queens, witches, seers, and everything in between.


Each episode traces these women from their earliest origins through their most famous stories, and explores how they change over time, shaped by the cultures retelling them. We explore how fear, power, desire, and control transformed women into monsters, muses, or moral warnings, and what those transformations reveal about the societies doing the telling.


From ancient myth to modern pop culture, Ladies of Lore looks at where these women began, how they’ve been rewritten, and why they still matter now.


If you love mythology, folklore, and wonder who benefits from the version of the story we are given, you're in the right place.

    • Deirdre: The Girl Destined for Sorrow
      Feb 18 2026

      Before she ever fell in love, Deirdre was promised to a king. Before she ever made a choice, her fate had already been written. Known as Deirdre of the Sorrows, her story is one of prophecy, exile and doomed love.

      This week we jump back into the Ulster Cycle to hear her story and learn about its lasting impact, explore the warrior society that shaped her fate, and trace the lasting cultural impact of one of Ireland’s most haunting tragic heroines.

    • Kali: Devourer of Illusion
      Jan 21 2026

      Kali is one of the most complex and powerful figures in global mythology. In this we follow the evolution of Kali, all the way from her origins in ancient Sanskrit texts to her role as a liberating force in Tantric cosmology, colonial resistance, feminist iconography, and modern pop culture.

      We explore her mythology, the duality of being both terrifying and maternal and her radical transformation across centuries. And through her, we examine what it means to destroy in order to start anew.
