About Jeff Wright

Jeff Wright is a 21st-Century Homeric Bard — a storyteller who bridges Homer's ancient world with our own. A former history and philosophy educator, he discovered early in his career that people learn best when caught up in a great story—a realization that shaped everything from his stage performances to his award-winning podcasts and modern epic retellings.

Jeff is the creator of Trojan War: The Podcast and Odyssey: The Podcast—together streamed more than 1.6 million times in over 200 countries, with a remarkable 95% listener retention rate. His work has earned the Society for Classical Studies' Forum Prize, and his live performances have been welcomed everywhere from high school auditoriums to Canada's National Arts Centre, Oxford, England, and New York city .

His upcoming book, The Full Disclosure Iliad (May 2026), is the culmination of a decades-long passion: a single, gripping, fully accessible narrative of the Trojan War—from its mythic beginnings to the wooden horse.

When he isn't recording, performing, or writing, Jeff can usually be found paddling his canoe, playing in the kitchen, or sharing a small dram with good friends — always remembering to spill a suitable libation to the gods.
