Divine Idol: The Gods Sing To Solve The Podcast's Fiscal Woes, Episode 3-1 of Fireside Folklore with Hades

Fireside Folklore with Hades

Greetings, listeners! This is a bittersweet episode for me because we are bidding farewell to Fireside Folklore with Hades as you know it. You see, we've encountered some fiscal challenges related to our Olympian problems, including ensuring you don't have to deal with the acoustics of the Underworld, a transition from dial-up, and the skyrocketing premiums on our errors and omissions insurance. However, not wanting to say goodbye to you completely, I've reluctantly agreed to host Divine Idol, a show in which the gods will sing their way to victory and pick up the support of sponsors along the way. Listen now as Chronos, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Ares battle to find out which of them will be good enough to be featured on the upcoming season of Divine Idol. Hopefully Ares isn't the one to make it because, listeners, the only sponsors willing to put down any coin on him are makers of divine weapons!
Now listeners, if you believed any of this, then I've properly done my job because, you see, this was our divine contribution to your April Fool's Day tomfoolery. True, we didn't quite manage to get it released on time, but such is the way of gods. We're not known for following the edicts of mortal timetables. Enjoy us making an utter fool out of ourselves, for it will be a rare thing, I assure you! Next time, we'll resume our regular programming with the Palestinian folklore I promised you when we concluded "The Sticks of Justice", "Silver and Scorpions".
