Minimalist productions of original plays by MC, drawn mostly but not exclusively* from Greek mythology. The first plays were Midas and Medea, followed by Jonah*, the crowdcasts As the Olympian World Turns and Last Gasp, then MC's Homeric Cycle, Icarus, Murph!*, two more crowdcasts An Apocalyptic Apotheosis and Orpheus, and the modern Skool Dayz*. MC himself voices most of these (except for cameos and crowdcasts, obviously wherein he can scarcely be heard, which may be a relief to some, lol!). At any rate, enjoy! * Jonah `ain't exactly Greek, nor Murph, nor Skool Dayz for that matter!

Midas: All

This is the full podcast of Midas, A Folly in Two Acts & an Epilogue, which was previously dropped as discrete episodes but is available now in its shimmering entirety!

Everyone thinks they know the story of Midas and the Golden Touch, some even know the concomitant story of Midas and the Donkey Ears, but there is even more to know about this foollish king of Phrygia than those two stories.

Why did Midas get the Golden Touch in the first place? What did that have to do with Dionysus the god and the satyr Silenus? And will Dan ever get paid?

Why did Midas get the Donkey Ears? How was this, too, an instance of his foolishness? Was he a racist?

How did Midas die in the end? Was he really punished through eternity in Tartarus for his sins?

There is a reason this story is a classic as the material herein has multiple parallels to events and persons throughout history not to mention the present day.

Enjoy, and thank you for tuning in.
