Acerca de esta escucha

The people of ancient Sumer are gathered to celebrate the rite of the Sacred Marriage, a joyous and glorious testament to the unity of Goddess and Man. Times are tough, crops are failing, and this year’s ceremony holds special significance.

But for the priestess Simi, the fertility rite is very personal. Because it is Simi who will be locked in a room with a stranger to carry out the blessed responsibilities. Only this time, the stranger is no stranger at all....

In the Lap of the Goddess is written by Arvind Ethan David and Whitney Mosery and stars Jacob Tobia as Simi, Kasper as Eresha, and Utkarsh Ambudkar as King Gilgamesh.

Earworms is a series of short speculative-fiction dramas–tales of what might have been...or might yet be...or perhaps in fact are, if only you were paying attention...if only you were listening.

2024 should prove to be quite a year for multihyphenate Utkarsh Ambudkar, one of the freshest, smartest, most relevant voices in the business right now. Currently co-leading CBS’s Ghosts, named TV’s number one new comedy in 2022 (and now shooting season 3), Utkarsh also continues to perform throughout the year with Freestyle Love Supreme, the freestyle rap group with Lin-Manuel Miranda and produced by Tommy Kail. In late 2023, the musical comedy World’s Best, a feature Utkarsh conceived, co-wrote, co-produced, wrote the music for, and starred in, was released on Disney+. Utkarsh is also known for previous films and shows ranging from Amazon's Brittany Runs a Marathon, Universal's Pitch Perfect, Fox film Free Guy opposite Ryan Reynolds, Netflix hit show Never Have I Ever, and Fox comedy The Mindy Project. He also made a lasting impression at the Oscars in 2020 with his freestyle rap performance. Utkarsh will next be seen in the upcoming film My Dead Friend Zoe opposite Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris and in Netflix's highly anticipated Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I want to know more about this mythology. It’s fascinating. Told so vividly, I can see it as a comic book or an animated series. Very fun!

I love this world - more please!

“Spectrumy, fearsome, and sexy.” This description of the goddess is accurate to this story. What a fun, intelligent, romantic, silly, deep, relatable tale. Not for the close-minded. I will definitely listen to more of this podcast.

Not expecting this

I had no idea what to expect from this short story, but I really really liked it. I love the characters and the acting and all of the sound effects. Great job!

What a surprise!

It was Inclusive, creative and different. The storyline has out-of-the-box, thinking, mixing a sexual focus, but intentional with a back in the day feel.

The performance was good, but the whole over writing "history" with modern takes, and values thing isn't really my thing. Gilgamesh's son Urlugal is over written with a woody Allen like Gilgamesh the second, and a bunch of lgbtq values are inserted with the main character just because, including a lot of snark. It just felt dishonest. Some people may like it, I just thought it was meh okay. Kinda has a lgbtq Mel Brooks History of the World absurdity (minus musicals), while attempting social commentary aspect to it.

Enh... It was alright
