I was so excited to find this podcast since I am a huge fan of Jungian psychology and myth. However, the first five minutes I listened to was about Trump being evil, comparing him to Hitler, and lining him up as the source of all problems. I’m not political and I believe the two party system is designed to divide us. Disappointed this podcast which has so much potential has bought into “divide and conquer.”
Michael explains the world in the most profound way. He speaks about it in a way that makes so much sense to me. He brings me peace.
I love listening to the stories that Micheal Meade tells.

I’m listening every day! Grateful to discover Living Myth, to be so inspired, to find solace in Michael Meade’s voice, his comforting genius, deep self dialogue. I appreciate knowing someone can teach this way via of myth, philosophy, allowing us to recognize the “ongoing creation,” archetypical paths, mythological inspiration; to think on a level that penetrates the soul. To occupy and navigate a darkness we must endure, until the light of wisdom shines on all the world. 🙏
