This week's hero claimed to hear the voice of God instructing them to do His will. This Hero's interpretation of "His will" left a complicated legacy in its wake. We're back with a new episode - in a new format! Let us know what you think by sharing your feedback on Instagram instagram.com/yourheroespod or via email at yourheroespod@gmail.com

Not everyone looks good on a horse, but today’s hero did. Todays hero also made a scene at the Oscars, ended up with only one lung, and was named after a dog, so maybe the horse thing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

This week’s hero has the sort of twisted ingenuity one needs in order to look at a pigeon and think, "I bet that bird could steer a rocket."

It’s rare for one person to write foundational texts on topics as diverse as biology, meteorology, philosophy, and politics. It’s also rare for a man to be ridden like a pony so hard that it permanently changes the theology of the Catholic church, but todays hero is full of surprises.

If you missed it last year, today is the perfect day to listen to this Encore St. Patrick episode! Every year cities across the world host parades, people throw cabbages at one another, and we toast to St. Patrick. Notorious for bringing Christianity to Ireland while also kicking the snakes out, this week we’re digging into the real story of St. Patrick’s life.

Victorian England was perhaps most well known for being, dare we say, prudish. This week's hero on the other hand, was...not. And while we love that for her(and Prince Albert), a bit of middle school sex-ed might have benefited all parties involved.

You know those headlines that leave you thinking, “At no point while reading that could I have predicted where it would go next?” That's the vibe of this week's hero.

The man who wrote the words “all mean are created equal” talked a good game, then kept his literal children enslaved for decades. Honestly that’s not even the worst thing he did, but springing that on you in the show notes didn’t really feel fair. *CONTENT WARNING* This episode discusses sexual violence, child abuse, and slavery. We encourage you to skip this episode if that content is upsetting to you or would damage your mental or emotional wellbeing in any way. Please take care of yourself.

For our 100th episode, we’re bringing you the lesser-known legacy of one of history’s most lesser-known philosophers. This week's hero had a number of unconventional theories and a commitment to the bit unrivaled by all philosophers who came after him.

What do you get after you've been kicked out of multiple bands for being too good a musician and too bold a showman? A special Meet and Greet Episode of Meet Your Heroes, that's what.

If you need help figuring out which woman to take as your mistress, this week's hero has got some advice that *does not* stand the test of time. Not uncoincidentally like the Constitution.

General relationship advice: if your lover asks you to undergo reconstructive facial surgery so that you’ll look more like them, it’s probably a good idea to start setting healthier boundaries. Also don’t let them legally adopt you as their child.

Think just because you've seen two decades' worth of infomercials selling boxed sets of his work, you know John Denver? Think again. No amount of middle-of-the-night DVD sales on public television can prepare you for the real man behind everyone's favorite bowl-cut sporting, granny-glasses wearing, gee-golly American folk singer.

We're coming to you live this week TWICE! On Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET, we're going live on the Fireside app with a Meet Your Hosts: AMA special episode. Then on Thursday, we're streaming our very first LIVE MYH episode. Also at 8:00 PM ET Download the app in the App Store or visit firesidechat.com/audreylawson-sanchez and request access. Be sure to RSVP so you get a reminder about the event. Can't wait to see you there!

What should you do if a strange man gropes his way into your bedroom in the middle of the night, brings his face right next yours, and tells you to come with him? If this week’s hero is any indication, prance your little self out the door and go save Christmas.

We have a new holiday-themed episode on its way, but in the meantime, if you haven’t already listened to the absolutely-bizarre story of St. Nicholas, three pickled children, and Christmas, or if you need a refresher — now is the time to make it happen.

Most people know this week’s hero as the man behind the world's most beloved superheroes. What most people don’t know is what ACTUALLY happened behind closed doors at Marvel Comics.

This weeks hero may not be the national bird of America, or Turkey, or anywhere really, but at least it’s got a large enough face erection to make civilizations across the world unite in saying “where the fuck is that thing from?”
