After a short hiatus, Dani returns to the mic and is joined by special guest and friend Nanci Santos for a conversation about ancient adventures, fandom joy, and the role video games played in keeping people connected to the ancient world during lockdown.
When Covid shut everything down, exploration didn’t stop. It just changed shape. Dani and Nanci talk about how games became a practical and imaginative way to engage with the ancient world through play, research, and storytelling.
From early gaming memories like Woody Woodpecker, to discovering myth and history through Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Apotheon, the conversation explores why ancient settings work so well in games, and when they don’t.
And of course, there is time to celebrate an unsung hero. We return to The Mummy (1999) the best of the Mummy films, and make the case once again for Evelyn Carnahan as the real protagonist.
Join us for fandom, fieldwork, and folklore.
