Somebody once told us that we’d be talking to you today about Shamash, the Sun God and a major deity of the Pantheon of the Mesopotamian cultures. Sumerians know him as Utu, Sin knows him as his son, Ishtar knows him as a brother, and we (and the Akkadians) know him, we love, him, it’s Shamash time! He’s taking the Sun Chariot all the way, he’s laying down the laws and the justice, Shamash is coming to an arena near you.

We are back from a long hiatus with our first recently recorded episode in a long time!

We’ll dish the hot goss on the coolest spirits/deities/forces of nature in the Yoruba pantheon. And if you stick around to the end, we share a surprisingly relatable creation myth for anyone who’s ever had a bad boss or employee.
