In 1988 veteran journalist Bill Moyers sat down for a series of six interviews with leading scholar of comparative religion and mythology Joseph Campbell.

In their wide ranging discussion, televised to millions, they discuss the origins of human storytelling, the unitary character of religious motifs, and how mythology from around the world can serve as a blueprint for personal spiritual growth and bliss.

For this format, I have taken all six and condensed them down into a single podcast, edited for clarity and accessibility and have included chapter titles and timestamps below:

(00:00:00) The Hero's Adventure

(00:56:46) The Message of the Myth

(01:51:21) The First Storytellers

(02:47:25) Sacrifice and Bliss

(03:42:27) Love and the Goddess

(04:38:30) Masks of Eternity

Enjoy.
