Greetings, listeners! As autumn sets in, I, Hades, am excited to welcome my wife, Persephone, back to the underworld. In this episode, despite the Moirai's meddling, I celebrate by introducing a special project I've been working on—a virtual fireside where you can engage in interactive games with our AI representatives. Whether you're navigating worst-case scenarios with Artemis, stepping into the shoes of any god with Eris, or co-writing a wacky tale with me, there's something for everyone. No account is necessary to join the fun, but for those who wish to have a personalized experience, account requests are welcome.

For our dedicated listeners, there's even more in store. Try running a nation with Ares or starring in a divine reality dating show with the ever-enthusiastic Eris. Remember, guest interactions are logged under one account, but I assure you, personal account interactions are kept sacred and private. To join this mythological adventure, simply point your browser to olympus-unscripted.typingcloud.com, and if you want to reach out for an account, contact me at Hades@firesidefolklorewithhades.com. Happy gaming and thank you for being a part of our mythical journey!

Greetings, listeners! On September 9, Google celebrated the s'more with a doodle, leading Hades to go on a quest to find out why, especially since other, more interesting things happened on September 9, such as television's first successful demonstration in 1927! The s'more was first introduced to the wider world on September 9, 1925 in a newspaper. Dubbed "some more" because nobody could stop at just one, it has become quite the beloved treat! What began as a Girl Scout tradition has now become a chance for the gods to banter and put their own divine twists on this campfire delight. From Zeus's electrifying treat filled with Rice Krispies to Dionysus's grown-up boozy take, join us as we explore the many ways the s'more can be enjoyed. If you'd like to share your twist, please E-mail Persephone@firesidefolklorewithhades.com. Who knows? You might spark a heated debate or dethrone ambrosia with your creativity!

Greetings, listeners! Well, it isn't exactly a story. At least, not in the traditional sense of the word, but sometimes, other, more important things need to be aired, like Apollon's disdain for mortals, (even our mortal conduit), botching his name on this podcast. So, while I continue plugging away at the Golden Pail, I'll allow my nephew to throw a hissy fit. At least it keeps my brother Zeus off my back. After all, he tells me he's had trouble finding decent sponsors because the Underworld has been silent, though, in the grand scheme of things, whether we get Demeter's Celestial Seeds to sponsor us or not, this podcast will endure.

Greetings, listeners! I know we've been pretty quiet lately, but my husband has actually been working on the Golden Pail, despite the lack of any trailers. It just got to a point where he thought you might know the story in full even before we finished producing it! So, he tried to get his Roman counterpart Pluto to help fill in the void, but ... well ... we all know how that turned out! Here's hoping that we can get this done by the time the autumn equinox rolls around. This year, that will be on September 22, the very day we began this podcast last year! Enjoy the rest of the summer, and stay cool for any of you who are dealing with a heat wave!

Greetings, listeners! What happens when Pluto tries to retell an urban legend? He gets flustered, Jupiter gets fired, and everything falls apart. Hopefully, you all know the story well enough already that you can fill in the missing pieces, because, unfortunately for you, this episode doesn't come anywhere close to doing the story any justice. When Hades returns, whenever that might be, be sure that you send him a dead letter requesting better quality control. As ever, he's at hades@firesidefolklorewithhades.com

Greetings, listeners. I tried my best. I wanted to leave this podcast. Nobody wanted to hear me complain. I couldn't get anyone to cooperate with me. Despite all of my setbacks, though, Hades wouldn't allow me to go. What kind of nonsense is this? Knowing what I know about him, I decided it was best not to argue.

Greetings, listeners! What happens if you're in a catch-22 that could cost your life? In this teaser, Hassan finds himself in just such a predicament. After successfully fetching the princess's horse, she strikes it down and says that she won't come out of her chambers until the horse is brought back to life. Of course, doing such a thing would be a sign of dark sorcery. Necromancers aren't welcome in most places. Yet, if Hassan fails to bring the horse back from the dead, the king has told him he'll lose his life. Will he prevail? And when, dear listeners, will this golden pail ever show its face? Hopefully this tale will be written in full soon so I can begin the production process!

Greetings, listeners! Today, Hades tells you all how happy he is sitting by the Lethe working on his podcast. All is not as it seems, however, for within his message lies another more dramatic one. Can you work it out? If so, feel free to send your answer to Zeus@firesidefolklorewithhades.com and you'll win a $20 gift card to a shop of your choice. Just don't tell Hades that we're capitalizing on his plight to give out prizes, okay?
