Episode description

S2E35 Today Ash talks about the second story in Ovid's Metamophoses - the story of the four ages of mankind. At first the world was Golden (and veggie). Then came the Silver Age, the Brazen age and finally the age of Iron. Ovid's the original, but since this is a Latin-free podcast, Ash relies heavily on the translations of Ted Hughes, Arthur Golding and in particular for today's episode, John Dryden. 

Intro: The Invisible Man Returns (1940) Music: 'Not Drunk' by The Joy Drops, 'Land on the Golden Gate' by Chris Zabriskie (www.chriszabriskie.com)
