Fantastic!

This is a great episode... not a typical Campbell lecture. Sadly, it cuts off in the middle of the lecture tho. Where is the rest of it?

Great for Joseph Campbell Fans

The podcast features recordings of lectures Campbell himself gave, with introduction before and some analysis after. The host is super informative and provides really interesting context before, and insight after, and then leaves Campbell to do what he did best. This is a wonderful and broad glimpse into the teaching and multidisciplinary, wide-ranging ideas that made Joseph Campbell so special.
