We’ve just been interviewed for the first time! Gregory Lemon, of the Myth Show, interviewed us about Celtic Mythology for his Show, which deals with myths and folk-lore. As it was our first interview we were quite nervous and Greg did a great job of putting us at our ease and getting us to talk about the subject we love. The whole interview was a lot of fun and we found some good common ground between us.

Congrats again to Greg for editing the audio. We were using Skype across the Atlantic and there was some serious lag, which he has managed to eradicate from the finished audio to make an extremely listenable interview.

One of the ways he put us at ease was to send us his intended questions beforehand. They were very good questions because they asked some very down-to-earth questions that we wouldn’t have thought of beforehand. Questions like

• Who were the Celts?
• Are the tales from the Celts more myth (based-in religious worship), folklore (tales of heroes, historical or fantastical), or both?
• What different “cycles” are found in Celtic mythology?
• Who are some of the more important figures from Celtic Mythology?

Some easier than others to answer! Even today, scholars are arguing over who the Celts were as well as the derivation of the Myths. There is just so much material.

We’d like to offer Greg a big thank you for making our first interview such a pleasant experience and urge you to have a listen and see what you think. His show is well worth a listen if you are interested in mythology because he tries to discover and explain the mythological themes behind many of our more well-known and modern-day myths. He uses Joseph Campbell’s theories (the Momomyth especially) to explore and explain works by Disney.
