Over Why Are You?

Each of us must develop an identity, but often we develop that identity in a way we may never see. In this interview series, I ask people to describe themselves, then mirror back my observations. My hope is to uncover why we become the people we are - how our biology, psychology, and their expression in society converge.

Morgaine - Lover of Words and Stories

In this episode, we meet Morgaine (no, a different one!) whose education in Ancient Mediterranean History turns out to be some of the most fascinating conversation I've had in a while!  Morgaine and I discuss goddesses of carnal pleasure, the misogyny of translators, and better last lines than "That's All, Folks!"
