Ep 11: The Hero's Journey
from Our Stories and Our Selves: Why the narratives we tell shape the way we think about the world
Joseph Campbell, in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, theorised that the Hero’s Journey was the one story at the root of all myths. He called it the monomyth and suggested it is rooted deep in our psyche. This episode digs into whether this is true, and what the Hero’s Journey can or can’t tell us about our society and the stories we write.
