About this listen

When gods became brands—how ancient myths shape our modern meaning. In this fifth episode of IdeaWeave, Maya and Leo explore why humans never outgrow mythology—only rename it. From Olympus to Silicon Valley, they trace how our need for stories, symbols, and sacred rituals survives in technology, self-optimization, and consumer culture. Myths, they suggest, aren’t lies we’ve outlived—they’re the code that keeps us human.

IdeaWeave — The podcast that untangles big ideas — one curious conversation at a time
