The Journey Begins (Plus Blind Ranking Philosophers) is the 321st episode of the Very Bad Wizards podcast, released on November 25, 2025.



David and Tamler begin their long journey home to Homer's Odyssey, the tale of king Odysseus' 10 year journey home after the Trojan war (maybe the greatest story ever told). We dive into the first two books, which focus on Odysseus' 20-year-old son Telemachus, the swarm of suitors who have descended on Odysseus' house during his long absence in the hopes of marrying his clever and beautiful wife Penelope, and the goddess Athena, whose plan to get Odysseus home to Ithaca is finally set into motion. (Much more to come on this monumental work for our beloved Patreon supporters).  Plus for all you Homer haters, David makes Tamler blind rank a list of (pre-1950) philosophers.
