In the podcast episode titled "Tales of Ulysses, the Big Horse," the speakers include Demi Creniel and a character involved in the story of Ulysses and the Trojan War. The discussion revolves around Ulysses' attempt to gain entry into the city of Troy using a giant wooden horse as a ruse. The episode humorously portrays a dialogue where the Trojan gatekeeper questions the legitimacy of the horse and the absence of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are required by the Trojan Municipal Code. This comedic exchange highlights the absurdity of the situation as Ulysses tries to convince the Trojans to let them in. 

The episode is set during the events leading up to the fall of Troy, emphasizing the cleverness and determination of Ulysses. This narrative is important as it illustrates themes of deception, strategy, and the unexpected outcomes of seemingly trivial details in historical tales. The podcast serves to entertain while also providing a modern retelling of a classic myth, making it accessible to contemporary audiences.
