A monster in a maze. A genius inventor. A lovestruck princess. And an angry god who shakes the earth.
This is the very first episode of Have To Know History, a podcast for anyone who loves myths, mysteries, and ancient stories that just might be true. Join Jason Freewalt as he walks you through the outrageous myth of the Minotaur—complete with cursed queens, deadly mazes, and some deeply questionable decisions from both gods and mortals.
Originally part of the Have To Know History YouTube series, this audio version brings the same energy and storytelling—perfect for learning on the go.
Coming soon in Part 2: We’ll explore the ruins of Knossos, bull-worship rituals, and a volcanic eruption that may have sparked the myth.
Inspired by years of classroom storytelling, now shared with the world.
