Podcasts about Mythic

In this episode, Michael Meade explores how when the world seems to make no sense, myth can make the most sense. Stories of renewal of the Earth can help us see the world with different eyes and create new contexts for facing the threats of climate change and stopping ecological degradation. Myth has a redeeming function as stories become vessels of imagination and inspiration that can open new ways to see the world.     Imagination has a way of lighting on truths that reason cannot find. Imagination can reveal inner dimensions and hidden resources in our individual and collective lives and in the world. Mythic narratives can inspire greater imagination and creativity in all fields of endeavor while helping to heal the gaps between nature and culture.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Back in 1988, CBS gave us Garfield: His 9 Lives, an anthology special where our favorite lasagna enthusiast got to be a caveman, a pampered Egyptian god-cat, and an honest-to-goodness astronaut fending off an interstellar war fleet. Ambitious! Mythic, even! Then in 2006, Lucky Jump Games and The Game Factory looked at that legacy, borrowed the exact same title for a Game Boy Advance platformer, and said: actually, what if his nine lives were a farm, a haunted house, a circus, a sewer, a tree, an alley, an obedience school, and a lab? No pyramids. No space combat. Just Garfield, freshly stuffed from an eating binge, suffering eight increasingly damp nightmares about locations you could reach on foot from his own kitchen. Climbing out of Garfield's nightmare to help us survey the damage is Derek B Gayle, who hosts or co-hosts what feels like an ever-multiplying stable of shows including Walloping Websnappers, Gimmicks, Skreeonk!, and, at this point, so many other podcasts that keeping an accurate list may violate several laws of podcast physics. If Garfield hates Mondays, Derek looked at that same feeling and apparently decided the correct response was to start four more podcasts to fill the time. So raid the fridge, settle in for a night you won't remember fondly, and let's find out if Garfield and His Nine Lives earned its spot next to the caveman, the pharaoh, and the astronaut, or if it should've stayed exactly the kind of dream you forget the second your alarm goes off. Learn such things as: Are names of things even really that important? Why would you ever try to save your mortal enemy? Can you be surprised by anything, or anyone, that Garfield runs across? And so much more! You can find Derek @DerekBGayle on Bluesky, Instagram, and other social media platforms that may or may not exist when this was posted, hear him on other podcasts on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective such as Gimmicks, Walloping Websnappers, Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, Skreeonk!, and Falling with Style.

Liz, a person who has a legitimate phobia of snakes, is rather emphatically not enjoying the Coiled Isle. Now that she's had time with the patch, she can confirm that she hates it. Some areas are less snakey than others, and those are okay, but Blizzard is not her favorite set of people just now. She did admit to enjoying the green, though. Luckily, she can experience the whole thing vicariously as the Race to World First kicked off this week with the beginning of MidnightSseason 2, and the opening of the Mythic version of the Venomous Abyss raid. Several of the teams are raising money for charity through the race, including a fun one from Liquid where if you donate a certain amount, they'll post your pet's photo on stream. If anything can help Liz make it through, it's puppies.There are also some new class sets coming to Hearthstone, which Liz is happy to explain. And read the site news!

"When the world seems to lose all sense and meaning, it is usually 'mythic sense' that is missing," says Michael Meade in talking about the vital language of myth. Without a sense of mythic imagination, the world can seem more random and be more overwhelming. Myth is not about the facts of the matter, but about what matters most to us. He suggests that myth is the inside story of the world we live in, and we are each and all mythic by nature.     Hearing a story awakens the mythic story living in each of us and places us in a "mythic condition" that reconnects us to the core imagination and living story at the center of our soul. Meade shows that being touched by myth carries us to the center where the world is always ending and always beginning again.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

We know how to build power. Every day, the clean energy industry builds more of it.But there's another kind of power that's far more difficult to generate—and arguably even more important.The kind that determines whether an industry continues to grow regardless of who's in office. The kind that shapes public opinion before a project is ever proposed. The kind that makes policymakers think twice before standing in your way.Tom Matzzie has spent his career building both.Before founding CleanChoice Energy, he spent fifteen years building political movements. Today, he's helping build something the clean energy industry has historically lacked: the institutions, relationships, and long-term political capacity that make an industry durable.In this conversation, Tom introduces a phrase I hadn't heard before but haven't stopped thinking about since: mythic power.It's a simple idea with profound implications.What if the real measure of our industry's success isn't how many gigawatts we deploy......but whether we've built enough influence that our progress no longer depends on the outcome of the next election?Whether you're a founder, developer, investor, policymaker, or simply someone who wants to see the energy transition succeed, this conversation will challenge how you think about what it really takes to build an industry that lasts.In this episode:What "mythic power" means - and why Tom believes every mature industry eventually develops it.Why the crypto industry offers an unexpected lesson for clean energy.Why political durability is built long before a crisis arrives.Why institutions may matter as much as innovation in the next chapter of the energy transition.After listening, I'd love to hear your answer to the same question I found myself asking:Can clean energy build mythic power?Are there other technologies you've scouted on the frontlines of the Clean Energy Revolution that you think we should be covering here on SunCast?Hit us up - team@suncast.me with your feedback & recommendations.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to their contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://suncast.media/episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.suncast.media/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 875 other founder stories and startup advice at www.suncast.media.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus

Pack your bags and prepare for a cinematic voyage of mythical proportions! This week on The Filmlosophers, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, alongside the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, are taking a massive journey through history, mythology, and the pop culture news cycle. Trailers, Layoffs, & Comic-Con Before the crew sets sail for Ithaca, they tackle a wildly jam-packed week of movie news. With the Mecca of nerd and pop culture officially underway, Amy kicks things off by sharing her biggest expectations, most anticipated panels, and overall hopes for San Diego Comic-Con. From there, the table shifts to the unfortunate reality of the recent Disney and Pixar workforce reductions, questioning the industry logic behind cutting over a hundred Pixar jobs just as Toy Story 5 prepares to cross the billion-dollar mark at the global box office. The conversation then pivots to the massive trailer drops that shook the internet this week. The trio analyzes the Earth-bound, notably space-lacking footage of Avengers: Doomsday, featuring Robert Downey Jr.'s highly anticipated return as Doctor Doom. Shifting from superhero spectacles to sheer terror, Eddie breaks down the digital marketing analytics and campaign performance metrics driving the viral success of the traumatizing trailer for Jessica Chastain's Other Mommy. An IMAX Epic: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey Once the news desk is cleared, the team delves deep into their grand review of Christopher Nolan's sprawling, $250 million R-rated adaptation of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. The crew discusses the sheer magnitude of Nolan's unique storytelling, echoing the widespread praise that this film is a visceral, must-see theatrical experience. The Filmlosophers marvel at the film's magical practical effects, emphasizing how the historic decision to shoot the entire feature on IMAX 70mm film elevates the terrifying reality of the mythical creatures and the perilous Mediterranean journey. The hosts also spotlight the impeccable score and the astounding ensemble performances, particularly praising Matt Damon's complex, wily portrayal of Odysseus and Tom Holland's desperate determination as Telemachus. With its grounded take on ancient Greek mythology, the crew sets the stage for a masterpiece that will undoubtedly go down in history as one of Nolan's absolute greatest achievements. Grab your Comic-Con badge and your IMAX tickets—it is time to get mythological! The Filmlosophers is streaming on all major platforms!

(4) Rituals of the Arena: Chubby Gladiators, Elephant Empathy, and the Roman Mythic Past Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. This discussion strips away the Hollywood image of gladiators, focusing on their specialized diets and the cultural role they played in Roman society. Gaius reveals that gladiators were intentionally chubby to "bleed better" for the audience and suffered from bad breath due to a meatless diet, highlighting that many were actually volunteers seeking money, and that animal hunts were often more popular than death matches. He shares a poignant account of elephants in the arena begging the crowd for their lives, which led Romans to acknowledge their intelligence. Germanicus explains gladiatorial combat as a "ritual" for citizens to reconnect with their "mythic heroic past" now that they no longer serve in the legions, defending the "chubby" physique by noting that body fat was essential for the survival of both Hannibal's soldiers and elephants during Alpine crossings. He connects these spectacles to the Roman imagination and literary traditions like the Iliad. They also discuss the Emperor Commodus, noting that despite his whimsical cruelty, he was not a coward in the arena, even though his reign was a "long line of tragedy." (4)1897

When we talk about mythic fiction, it's easy to assume mythic stories are created through familiar ingredients: archetypes, symbolism, old myths, epic structure. But I don't think that's where mythic storytelling begins. In this post/podcast, I explore seven practices and mindsets that help writers reconnect with what the lost art of mythmaking--not just  borrowing of old symbolic forms, but accessing the deeper creative process from which meaningful stories emerge in the first place. We talk about: • Why mythic stories often feel like they come *through* us rather than *from* us • How dreamzoning and flow states support deeper storytelling • Why "shoulds" can block archetypal imagination • How asking questions opens access to mythic resonance • The deeper shape beneath story structure • Why confronting the shadows matters for writers • How mythic storytelling functions as transformation and initiation Mythic fiction isn't just a genre or an aesthetic. At its deepest level, it is a way of relating to story itself. If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more alive, more resonant, or more meaningful, but weren't sure how to move beyond technique alone, this conversation offers a practical place to begin. 01:50 What Is Mythic Fiction? 02:34 What Mythic Fiction Is Not 04:07 What Mythic Fiction Is 05:12 The Lost Art of Mythmaking 06:31 Practice #1: Entering the Flow State 08:49 Practice #2: Clear the "Shoulds" That Block Archetypal Imagination 09:58 Practice #3: Ask Questions Instead of Arriving With Answers 11:32 Practice #4: Study the Deeper Shape Beneath Story Structure 12:56 Practice #5: Study the Stories That Create Mythic Resonance 15:07 Practice #6: Be Fearless Enough to Enter the Shadows 17:11 Practice #7: Approach Archetypal Storytelling With Humility and Responsibility 18:16 Learning How to Imagine Better 19:22 Writing Masterclass: Alchemizing Plot, Character, and Theme Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction-practices LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

Talking Trek is BACK, and this episode comes packed with emotional updates, ridiculous comedy, and a massive Star Trek Fleet Command economy discussion. We start with server sound-off, the return of Talking Trek Stupid News, and a deeply questionable investigation into Demolition Man and the legendary three seashells. DJ also shares the personal story of Oliver's recent hospital emergency, the children's hospital team that helped him recover, and why child life programs matter so much. Then we dive into STFC with a full breakdown of Voyage Across the Void, the new weekly event structure, officer shard math, platinum concerns, battle pass changes, the mythic track, and what all of this may mean for the future of Fleet Command's economy. Is Voyage Across the Void a better system? Is the mythic battle pass worth it? Is G7 too expensive? Is Fleet Command finally trying to reset years of broken math, or did they just hand the player base a calculator and a headache? Let's talk about it. Download, stream, argue, laugh, and bring your spreadsheets. This one has feelings, math, mullets, and mild economic panic.   0:56 Welcome Back to Talking Trek Live 3:32 Bulk Claim Grief, Chicago Blame, and Sports Ball Confusion 8:23 Talking Trek Stupid News Returns 17:54 Demolition Man, the Three Seashells, and Maya's Diagnostic Failure 22:12 Where We've Been: Oliver's Hospital Story 31:21 Child Life, Therapy Dogs, and Gratitude for Children's Hospitals 38:54 Chicago, Pokémon GO Fest, and a Makeup Birthday Stream 41:00 Oliver Calls the Show and Requests App Approvals 45:40 The Oliver Debit Card Game Begins 52:00 Back to Fleet Command After the Hiatus 55:00 Voyage Across the Void Event Series Breakdown 58:00 Weekly Event Structure and New Permanent Sourcing 1:01:00 Daily SMS/SLB Rewards, Materials, and Missing Pieces 1:10:00 Produced Breakdown Wrap-Up: Is Voyage Across the Void Good? 1:13:00 Platinum Losses, Officer Shards, and First Impressions 1:22:00 Officer Depot Math and Weekly Reward Comparisons 1:34:00 Economy Reset Talk: Too Much, Too Fast? 1:40:00 Less Chores, More Choice: Cameron's Direction for STFC 1:49:00 Fun vs Rewards: Would Players Take Less for Better Gameplay? 1:55:00 M90 vs M91 Battle Pass and Mythic Track Discussion 2:01:00 Battle Pass Milestone Changes and Reward Rearrangement 2:07:00 Faction Credits, Platinum Conversion, and G7 Value Math 2:13:00 Battle Pass Value vs Player Sentiment 2:16:00 The Core Problem: Everything Costs Too Much 2:22:00 G3 Economy Memories and Lessons for G7 2:28:00 Omega Materials, Stat Squish Talk, and Economy Repair Ideas 2:34:00 New Players, Veteran Frustration, and the “First Pancake” Problem 2:37:00 Is Mythic Basically a Second Battle Pass? 2:40:00 Officer History, Battle Pass Memories, and Economy Wrap 2:44:00 Chicago Exhaustion, Production Day, and LEGO Enterprise Plans 2:48:00 GoWheel Updates, Meetups, and Community Travel Goals 2:52:00 Commercial Chaos: Mullets, Inflation, and Cereal Toys 2:56:00 Talking Trek AMA Begins 3:00:00 Athena Purchases, Shenanigans, and Ship Blueprint Questions 3:04:00 G6 Scrapping, QOL Leaks, and Rapid-Fire Chat Questions 3:08:00 Battle Pass Submissions, Mega Cube, Skydeck, and Final Questions 3:12:00 Final Plugs and Sign-Off

What makes a story feel truly mythic? Many writers assume mythic fiction comes from borrowing archetypes, retelling old myths, or layering symbolic imagery into a story. While there is immense value in studying mythology, fairy tales, folklore, and archetypal storytelling traditions, something important has been lost in many modern conversations about mythic fiction. The old myths aren't powerful merely because of their plot structure or symbolism. They are powerful because they emerged from their creator's living relationship with symbol, transformation, mystery, dream, and the deeper psyche. In this episode, I explore: •    Why so much modern "mythic storytelling" can feel strangely hollow  •    The difference between inherited myth and living myth  •    Why writers often approach archetypes from the outside in  •    How mythic resonance actually emerges in story  •    Why mythic storytelling matters during times of cultural transformation  •    How writers can reconnect to the symbolic imagination itself  What if the role of the writer is not simply to preserve mythology, but to participate in it? If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more resonant, symbolic, emotionally alive, or spiritually meaningful, this episode explores the deeper source from which mythic fiction arises. 02:45 How Modern Writers Understand Mythic Fiction and Archetypal Storytelling 03:58 The Mythological and Folk Tale Lens for Mythic Fiction 04:32 The Anthropological & Psychological Lens for Mythic Fiction 05:10 Pop Culture & the Mythic Retelling 06:27 Studying Myth vs. Writing Mythic Fiction 09:03 Borrowing vs. Accessing Symbols 11:17 Inherited Myth vs. Living Myth 12:16 Mythic Fiction in Cultural Times of Transformation 13:43 Our Relationship to the Old Stories Grows Thin 14:55 Mythic Fiction Requires the Partnership of Intuition and Intellect 16:11 Mythic Fiction Reconnects Writers to the Deep Source of Story 18:38 The Need for New Myths in a Changing World 20:15 New Myths, Ancient Roots 21:15 Participating in Myth as Much as Preserving It 21:59 Reconnecting to Myth in Your Own Writing Process Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction LINKS & RESOURCES Want More? This conversation connects deeply to my class Alchemizing Plot, Character, & Theme: https://kmweilandstore.com/b/plot-character-theme-class In this masterclass, I explore how plot, character, and theme act as one cohesive symbolic structure capable of creating stories with emotional resonance, narrative momentum, and deeper thematic meaning.

Decided to run a little solo show this month. We did have a guest scheduled but they needed a little more time to work on things there side and to be honest though I'm kinda glad The guest shows take a lot more time to prepare that most realise, and not only that but because I'm often chasing my own ass trying to get things done in time I started to loose sight of the basic art behind all this and started to become frequently stressed over it. This show reminded me why more freestyles mixes and less pre-programming is also essential to stay skilled with. I would worry like crazy thinking if i didn't put days or nights into the playlist that it would surely just turn out a bit shit, but its really not the case. Its exhausting and not sustainable to be the way I have been and I would have ended up hating the process and quitting in the long run. So yeah long story short, I'm real happy with this month's show despite slightly going off my goal of releasing 12 guest shows within each month of the year. As always please enjoy the music and don't be afraid to loose yourself in it...

In this episode I am once again joined by Duncan Barford, occult practitioner, counsellor, and author of “Occult Experiments in the Home”. Duncan reflects on his training as a counsellor and the difficulties in sharing his occult interests in that context; his deep appreciation of Freud and Jung; and the links between psychoanalysis and mythic figures such as such as Uranus, Oedipus, and Narcissus. Duncan considers whether Buddhism is merely a useful fiction, offers advice for those interested in learning how tp use mythology to gain insight into life, and explains why the emphasis of his spiritual practice has shifted from awakening to psychological wellbeing. Duncan also talks about his new magical novel, “The Going Down”, describes its plot and messages, and reveals why he believes the practice of Pragmatic Dharma can accrue a profoundly dark karmic debt. … Video version: www.guruviking.com Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Duncan's therapist hated the occult 02:58 - Misconceptions about Jungian therapy 04:19 - Psychopomp as therapist 04:25 - Freud, Jung, Skinner, Piaget, Rogers, and Carlyle 08:48 - Duncan was a fervent Freudian 09:35 - Freud vs trauma therapy 13:13 - What Freud did 15:58 - Buddhism's useful fiction 19:47 - Where Freud went wrong 21:50 - The castration complex 26:37 - Castration myths 27:58 - Freud and Duncan's childhood 30:40 - Universal or culturally specific? 32:15 - Oedipus, myth, and psychoanalysis 37:29 - Duncan's novel 38:36 - Writing “The Going Down” 41:11 - Plot summary 43:07 - A life-changing ancestor working 44:22 - Duncan's hope for the book 45:53 - Fiction and the occult 48:40 - Alan Chapman's dismay at the novel 49:22 - The dark, karmic debt of Pragmatic Dharma 54:38 - Meeting a Dark Goddess 56:15 - The myth of Persephone 59:49 - A change in Duncan's meditation practice 01:00:43 - This is the Underworld 01:02:34 - Bailey's and Steve's problems 01:03:55 - The Franklin's Tale 01:05:30 - How occultists interpret their life situations 01:09:12 - Is everyone psychotic? 01:10:45 - Using depression and panic as portals 01:12:16 - Duncan believes in everything 01:14:00 - Internal vs external integration 01:19:30 - Why you need mythic literacy 01:20:57 - How to learn more about myths 01:22:55 - Should you read myths? 01:25:07 - The myth of Narcissus 01:28:25 - Scholar vs poet 01:32:22 - Finishing a novel 01:34:06 - Narrative fashions in fiction 01:36:01 - Haunting quality 01:37:43 - A companion in the Underworld

DJz, Tarpy, and the community break down Duo Wave Defense, the new Ops 61+ cooperative mode featuring training drones, combat drones, repair drones, Venari Rall hostiles, new currencies, new mitigation concerns, and a whole lot of “wait, does that actually work?” energy. We also dig into the major battle pass changes coming this arc, including the new Mythic track, the 27-day battle pass structure, Flash Pass changes, Broken Desealing Rod sourcing, the end of overflow events, the loss of choice rewards, and the new temporary build queue included with battle pass purchases. Plus, we wrap up the previous arc, talk officer bugs, outpost issues, content creator playtesting, and spend a few heated minutes on the latest Incursions format.
