Episode Details

Felicia Day sits down with Kyle Meredith to talk about her new graphic novel, The Daughter Of Sparta, a feminist reimagining of Greek mythology inspired by a nearly forgotten figure with just one line in ancient texts. She traces the project back to pandemic-era insomnia, deep dives into mythology, and a desire to tell a story that Hollywood wouldn’t necessarily greenlight—leading her to embrace independence in a big way. Along the way, she opens up about identity, creative control, and the dangers of chasing approval over authenticity, themes that echo from her early work like The Guild to her Audible series Third Eye. Day also teases a Kickstarter-backed The Guild reunion movie for its 20th anniversary, plus new creative habits—from oil painting to learning Polish—that are shaping her next chapter.
