Retold
Covering Modern Retellings of Ancient Mythology and History
a podcast • with Sophia Chen
About
Retold is a biweekly podcast by me, Sophia, an underqualified student who has spent far too many hours on history- and myth-related Wikipedia pages. In Retold, I review modern retellings of ancient history and mythology, then analyze the interpretation of the source texts that they provide.Retold is 100% created, hosted, edited, and produced by me (Sophia Chen). I also run the social media because I'm broke independent and a Renaissance woman.

As clearly evidenced by my whole... setup, I'm not exactly the richest kid out there, and I also don't have ads on my episodes (as of now, at least). I would, however, love to be able to purchase new and improved equipment and online services to improve the listening experience for y'all. So if you're in a position to help me out financially, consider joining my Patreon! For just $2/month, Patreon members receive extra content and benefits, such as early access to regular feed episodes, bonus episodes, and voting. Your support helps the podcast stay ad-free for other listeners like you, and it means nothing less than the world to me.And if you're not in the position to support me in that way, I totally understand (I'm also definitely not subscribed to all my favorite podcasts' Patreons)! Beyond financial support, the best way to help out the podcast is word of mouth -- recommend Retold to your friends, family, anyone who will listen, and leave me a nice review on your favorite podcast platform. Thank you so much for helping to grow my audience! Every bit is appreciated and makes a huge difference.
