Story 70: Demeter, Goddess of Continental Breakfast with Erin Moynihan (Camp Half-Pod)

Muses of Mythology

“Guess we know who planned the menu for this one.”
The other half of Camp Half-Pod, writer and Dolphin Girl Erin Moynihan (she/her), joins the show to reexamine Demeter’s reputation as mythology’s biggest helicopter parent.
Talking points include which godly parents actually care about their demigod children, projecting difficult parental relationships onto Demeter in the Taking of Persephone story, speculation about Demeter’s opinions of the gluten-free movement, the most unexpected puzzle game protagonist, and Darien’s disastrous expedition into a webcomic comment sections.
