The Hero's Journey℠ Podcast
Author Jeff Garvin and book blogger Dan Zarzana examine books & films through the lens of The Hero’s Journey℠. Created by world-renowned teacher and mythologist Joseph Campbell, and refined by Disney story veteran Christopher Vogler, The Hero’s Journey℠ is a series of motifs and archetypes that pervade myths, folklore, and stories across all cultures and eras. Each month, Jeff and Dan will discuss a different book or film. And probably, there will be some whiskey involved.
