This episode is not for listeners with ophidiphobia.

It's time to cover what is arguably the most iconic deity of the Egyptian pantheon: Anubis!

Back by popular threat, Tim (he/him) and AJ (he/they) from Standby Podcast return to call down the power of the moon and discuss another pop culture reinterpretation of a mythical deity. 

This week, the hosts learn the best way to worship Sekhmet (21+ only) and that Hathor is so much more than a sleepy cow. 

We finally watched Moon Knight! 

PODCAST CHALLENGE: Can two siblings discuss three gods (Hapi, Babi, and Nekhbet) in under 30 minutes?

We didn't watch Moon Knight, so we're kicking off 2026 with the crocodile god, Sobek!

Y'all want to hear Darien talk about a 900ish page dissertation published in 1989? You're in luck!

What better way to celebrate our fourth year of discussing Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol than by ranking all 35 adaptations we've discussed in years past?

Darien played too much Hades 2, so DJ took over the lesson plan for this week's episode about Thoth! 

A new guest appears on the podcast! Mal from Demigod Debut is allergic to cats and has never read the Kane Chronicles, but she loves and has a deep respect for cats, which is the only requirement for being on the Bastet episode. 

If this episode was just about Serket, it would be 15 minutes long. So, she's being joined in this episode by another goddess! Can you guess who? (DJ sure can!)

This episode about it's a roundup episode featuring Geb, Tefnut, Shu, and Nut!! One of these could have been its own episode. Can you guess which??

This episode about Egyptian mythology also includes history about The Great Race for Mercy, during which Darien mistakenly refers to an important sled dog as “Fox” when his name was actually Togo. Deepest apologies. Those responsible have been sacked. 

Our first guest of season seven!! Charlie (they/them) from Of the Eldest Gods (and other shows) joins the main feed for the first time to unpack Set, god of chaos, storms, and the outsiders. 

This week, we bring an episode about Osiris that's a serving of mozzarella sticks without sauce sides. Feel free to bring your own sauces!!

Isis. Protector of Pharaohs. Guardian of the Dead. Goddess of Magic. Perhaps the most influential of all Egyptian deities. So, what’s the deal with that whole getting rid of Ra to put her husband on the throne, thing? Not very Ma’at of her, if you ask us. 

Nephthys: Wife of Set, goddess of the river. Right?

Catch a ride in one of your two posh solar rides and explore the many aspects of Ra.

Does order and chaos actually appear as themes in Ancient Egypt? Yes!
