It's a busy, hectic world.

School, work, soccer, aftercare, before care, every day is an adventure for families.

That's why National Geographic Kids invites your family to embark on a different kind of adventure.

One with heroes, gods and goddesses, sea monsters, one-eyed giants, flaming chariots, spider women, wood nymphs, and people turning into flowers.

You know, a simpler time.

It's National Geographic Kids greaking out.

Mythology meets technology when classic stories of ancient Greece are humorously retold for kids and families and delivered direct in a new podcast.

I'm your storyteller Kenny Curtis from Sirius XM's Kids Place Live.

A 30-year children's programming veteran and host of a national radio show for kids on satellite radio.

And that's the Oracle of Wi-Fi.

A digital assistant supporting the narrative with factual content to help provide context.

Uh, what?

I provide fast facts and info because I know everything.

Well, you don't know everything, but I do.

I even know what you're thinking.

Oh, you do not?

Do too.

Okay, what am I thinking?

You are thinking that I don't know what you're thinking.

Well, I mean, come on.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Okay, well played.

The earliest known versions of these stories date back more than 2,700 years, appearing in the works of Greek poets Homer and Hesiod.

But some of these myths are much older.

Exactly.

But now, kids in today's world can relive these famous adventures.

Sail with Jason and the Argonauts.

Escape a hungry Cyclops.

Drive the sun across the sky.

It's all part of Greaking Out.

Also featured in National Geographic Kids' new book series, Zeus the Mighty, about a tiny hamster with a big appetite for power.

The greatest tales ever told, brought to life again by National Geographic.

It's National Geographic Kids Greaking Out, a limited weekly podcast series premiering on October 18th.
