When In Rome: Cobbled roads under a relaxed stride, the sharp scent of braziers burning, marble columns spearing into the brisk, twilight sky. These monuments stand unassuming to its citizens, unknowing that the stones they walk on will be immortalized in the western zeitgeist for thousands of years in museums, art galleries, and textbooks alike. With When in Rome, listeners step into the lives of those who witnessed one of the most influential empires of the western world first hand.

As listeners are exploring the halls of the SOND Stacks, they find two familiar librarians discussing one of humanities most intrinsic emotions: fear.

Series:
Stories have been told since the dawn of man, inspired by everything the human experience has to offer. There are epics spanning generations, hero’s journeys full of adventure and heart, thrilling mysteries that grip readers until their final moments. All of these stories help us reflect on our lives in their own way, but what about the lives that made them possible? These artifacts take a look at the lived experiences of the authors that breathe life into these stories to see exactly how much truth is injected into the fictional.

The Dread Persephone: The goddess of spring and kidnapped Queen of the Underworld, Persephone is often depicted as a girl powerless to the whims of her far more powerful husband and mother; a paragon of innocent maidenhood taken and preserved for eternity. There was a point in time, however, where her name was never to be spoken aloud, Grecians strictly referring to her only as “the girl”. In this volume of Word of Mouth, go back to the time when the name Persephone struck fear into the hearts of her subjects, when the girl was given the title of Dread.

Word of Mouth: Have you ever wondered where stories come from? How thoughts of kings, creatures, and quests entered the minds of so many to the point where they were immortalized in ink and stone. The true origin comes from before parchment, chisels, and wax; in the nebulous roads between settlements where merchants and travelers whisper to each other, keeping their voices low lest they aren’t as alone as they believe. This is where storytelling was born. This is how they were meant to be heard. This is Word of Mouth: a premium storytelling ASMR experience for the lovers of humanities most well kept tales.
