00:00:00,830 --> 00:00:02,230
Announcer: This is
a Getty Podcast.

2
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:07,830
Zoe Goldman: Have you ever
wondered how a snake bracelet

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,970
celebrates her favorite holiday?

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,959
Snake: Everything is
DIVINE at a party.

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,240
The gods walked among us on
those nights, I’m sure of it!

6
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:21,220
Goldman: Or what Athena’s
owl thinks about the

7
00:00:21,220 --> 00:00:22,490
Greek marketplace?

8
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:26,150
Owl: It was at the agora
where a vendor cut into

9
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:28,330
me just to make sure I was
really made out of silver.

10
00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:31,289
Well he could’ve just asked!

11
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,489
Goldman: This fall, we’re
launching a new family podcast

12
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,280
called If Objects Could Talk,
where artifacts come alive to

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,760
share their side of the story.

14
00:00:42,070 --> 00:00:45,570
Cat statuette: I also heard
that I am some sort of diva.

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,809
A cat wears a little jewelry
and suddenly you’re typecast?

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,560
Fine.

17
00:00:51,839 --> 00:00:53,669
Guilty as charged!

18
00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:56,000
Goldman: Each episode,
you’ll hear from different

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,420
objects about everything,
from how they were made:

20
00:00:59,890 --> 00:01:02,180
Feet lamp: Ok, picture
it: I was nothin’!

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,970
Just a ball of damp clay.

22
00:01:04,309 --> 00:01:07,380
Goldman: To their role in
daily rituals and routines:

23
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:09,750
Lar: Most nights I would even
join the family for dinner;

24
00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:11,859
I’d sit right on the table!

25
00:01:12,180 --> 00:01:15,140
Goldman: To how they played
with children just like you.

26
00:01:15,260 --> 00:01:16,210
Astragalos: He
took a deep breath.

27
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:20,910
He tossed me into the air...I
twisted and turned under

28
00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:20,925
the open sky and...I stuck
the landing like a pro!

29
00:01:20,925 --> 00:01:21,050
The

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,239
crowd went wild!

31
00:01:29,639 --> 00:01:33,040
Goldman: If Objects Could Talk
is coming this fall wherever

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,310
