Ever wondered how a high schooler could take a passion for Greek mythology and turn it into a hit podcast? In this episode, I chat with Cole, the teen creator behind Lasting Legends: Greek Myths Surround Us, a kid-friendly podcast that connects ancient myths to the modern world. If your kids are into Percy Jackson or love learning through stories, this one's for you.
Cole isn’t just any guest—he’s a young podcaster who’s turning heads (and sparking conversations) with his thoughtful storytelling and creative sound design. His podcast has become a favorite in my house, and in this conversation, we dig into how he crafts his episodes, why he started his show, and what it’s been like seeing it reach listeners all around the world.
Topics discussed in this episode:
