    A Reading of the Odyssey, Book One
    Dec 29 2025

    Poet and Storyteller Jay Leeming reads and comments on book one of Homer's Odyssey.

    Note: Unusually for this podcast this is not a storytelling performance but a reading, for those who wish to dive a little deeper into the Homeric version of this story which has inspired my own.
