Back to EpisodesGive Fleece a Chance: The Argonautica of Apollonius, Part VIII (Ad Navseam, Episode 231)
Description
Not to be slowed down by technical difficulties, Jeff and Dave return to the mics this week to advance Jason's storyline with his hearty crew of shipmates aboard the Argo. At long last, the towering, terrifying figure of Medea appears on the epic stage. Running around the palace of her father, King Aeetes, talking to her sister Chalciope, suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous Eros, combing her hair and listening to Air Supply, and generally chewing the scenery, Medea dominates the action as soon as she shows up. Why does Apollonius draw her this way, in such sharp contrast to the milquetoast Jason? Is this good for dramatic purposes or just plain subpar storytelling? Tune in to get these and other questions answered. Also, don't miss the chance to enter the drawing for another premium coffee machine, the sleek and agile Ratio 4. Listen for the secret code word, and check out the new website: adnavseam.com.
