117: The Epic of Gilgamesh (Part 2)

We’re back this week to finish out the story of Gilgamesh! We discuss grief and then journey with Gilgamesh to the land of the dead, which features She-Ra references, befriending crows, and the ending to Little Shop of Horrors. We also remind you: Choose joy.   Eric’s recommendation this week is the His Dark Materials series.   Sponsors -Calm, the #1 app for meditation, mindfulness, and sleep.
