Ten years of wandering, condensed into a sprint. This time around, we are bringing you a very-special retelling of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. It's high on energy but also delightfully low on patience. Because let’s be honest: ten years is a long time to spend lost at sea, and we have a podcast to run. Behind the Scenes of "A Condensed-Space Odyssey" Our actors are ready, the sound effects are mostly accurate, and everything is set to go. Well, except for some last-minute edits made strictly for time-management purposes. Clinton is sure the cast won't mind. After all, who wouldn't be thrilled about having their grand theatrical moments reduced to brief cameos? Our story centers on a hero of the Trojan War, Odysseus. Right now, he's just trying to get home to Ithaca. But a petty Poseidon and a very love-struck nymph have other plans. You'll feel the ocean spray during his turbulent raft ride through monstrous whirlpools, hear the beckoning call of rock-loving sirens, and almost taste the tragic consequences of munching on flowers and farm animals. And in a faction of the time Christopher Nolan took to tell the story! Can a hero survive when his script is cut? The sails are set, the wind is in the bag, and the clock is ticking. Grab your favorite goblet of wine and join us for the ride of a lifetime!
