Hi everyone, it’s Tate A. Geborkoff, author, creator and one of the actors in Psychopompos - a new mythology. I’m here to welcome you to Gamelion, the holy month of Hera. You may have already heard, we just released our newest episode, Chapter 4: The Road to Great Olympus on February 2.

This episode begins to shift the story’s focus towards Hera, and her fight to reclaim her position as Queen of Olympus. Underlining her story is her complicated relationship with her now ex-husband, Zeus, and her strained relationship with her trio of sons: Ares, Hermes and Hephaestus. We thought the best way to honor her was to release a new episode during her holy month.

Back to Gamelion though. We are currently raising funds for the last episodes of the first season. All funds raised go right back into the podcast, with the majority of it going towards the stipends of the artists involved in the piece. This is a way to get money into the hands of artists during a time in which the arts are under threat and constant attack by our government. This arc of Psychopompos is all about resistance and fighting against tyranny and fascism.

Your donation is one small way you can contribute. Your donation will uplift queer, trans, and women’s voices to tell the stories of people who have always been there, but are rarely heard. And in the times we find ourselves in, it's all the more reason to do so.

More information about Gamelion, the fundraising, and the link to donate can be found at psychopomp-cast.com/gamelion

Looking forward to spending more time with you in our little slice of Greece.
