'It's a story full of drama, mystery, and intrigue — a highly theatrical tale.' Live from Mount Olympus has also made the leap into classrooms. Through a partnership with education platform inquirED, the show now has its own curriculum, reaching more than 1,600 schools across the US since last autumn.

'Our Live from Mount Olympus podcast tells them for today, in a contemporary idiom, exploring issues that matter to audiences of all ages.' From the table reading of Season Six.
