Wonderful New Retelling of Ancient Irish Myths

Into The Mythic really brings to life several Irish Myths and Legends which I first heard as a child. Each conversation between Leeanne O' Donnell and Pól O' Colmain is fascinating with Pól telling each story and Leeanne asking pertinent questions.

Leeanne also looks at the various ways these myths are relevant to modern life and what messages they may have for us in the 21st century which is actually much more than you'd think. From listening to these myths it seems people are basically the same whether in ancient or modern times.

I hope there are many more episodes to come in this series.
