Listen "What makes a legend?"
Episode Synopsis
From Hercules to hospital porters, Robin Hood to The Mabinogi, we’re asking: what really makes someone legendary? Is it bravery? Greatness? Or just good PR?In this myth-mashing episode, we dive into the ripples of legacy...from London 2012, the overlooked heroes of care work, and why society hands out statues to billionaires but forgets its best. There’s models, rules, drive, and one almighty emotions wheel. Plus: the Simpsons, sad endings, and a big finale twist involving Terror Management Theory (Google it, or just listen) ;)
