This is exactly what you want from an educational podcast: entertaining first, educational second. Nat Geo Kids nails the balance between making Greek myths accessible without sanitizing them into oblivion.

The production is solid, the stories are genuinely engaging, and it's a fantastic way to build cultural literacy without your kid realizing they're learning. If your child loves Percy Jackson, this is the natural companion—the actual source material, kid-ified.

The one legitimate critique from parents is worth noting: the podcast apparently can't mention a goddess or mortal woman without commenting on her beauty. One parent had their 8-year-old keep a tally, which is both hilarious and concerning. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's a missed opportunity to tell these stories without the male-gaze-y emphasis on women's looks.

Overall, though? This is a strong recommend for mythology-curious kids. It's the kind of content that makes long car rides bearable and might actually spark a love of classical literature.
