NYMM 02: The King, His River Queens and the Son Who Gives It All Up. Featuring Shantanu, Ganga, and Satyavati.

Not Your Mother's Mahabharata

For this episode we welcome musician Rhiannon Fiskradatz and tell her the story of the tortured King Shantanu who only manages to catch a single break because of his devoted demigod son. Rhiannon needs moments of silence after Ganga seemingly murders her own children, and yells in defense of Bheeshma keeping his heritage.

How surprised were you to here Ganga's reason for her actions?
