Fantastic listen! There is a lot to get from this great interview!

This was fine. It offers good insights to life but only give this a go if you don't mind it being an interview.

Profile Avatar Michael H. Mar 2020

Moyers and Campbell, two irrepressibly positive forces having a conversation about what we all need to remain grounded and moving forward.

fascinating conversation about mythology, very enjoyable to listen to.

Glad I’ve finally listen to this one.

I watched this on PBS when it first came out and Campbell’s theories seemed novel and interesting. Listening to this 35 years later with a lot more life experience I realize that so much of this is made up gobbledygook. The example stories he uses don’t even match his own model. Bill Moyers never questions ANYTHING that Campbell says and acts more like a cheerleader. Not worth your time.

Joseph Campbell’s deep understanding of culture, universal themes, and rituals is astonishing.

The conversations had in this ‘book’ - it’s audio recordings of tv episodes - is absolutely life changing. Many of the topics discussed are concepts I understood and believed; Campbell took those concepts one step further (by going to the root of societal shifts). Amazing listen. I highly recommend

way too philosophical and preachy. couldn't finish it.

Profile Avatar Vaenin V. Jul 2025

I made it 2hr and 11min in, only to give up because of the dissapointment that this program really only focused on connecting global myths to Christianity. There’s a strong sense that Christianity is the superior religion throughout the program with little respect for the other global myths mentioned. Not worth finishing, though their voices fairly calming!

it's a interview but really insightful

Profile Avatar Vasilije S. Nov 2024

Amazing set of interviews. So thoughtful, spoken with ease and certainty. An excellent example of erudite talking about divine and, the power and meaning of the myth. Highly recommend!

Profile Avatar Brian C. Jan 2024

Couldn't listen to it... Too much corny music/sound effects make it sound like a 1940's radio program.

Profile Avatar Namarran Sep 2023

Have kept this in my playlist because it’s SO good and I can re listen like a podcast. Great!
