Podcasts about mythology

This conversation with Peter delves into the rich history and culture of Britain, exploring the interplay between myth and reality, particularly through the lens of Arthurian legends and the influence of Christianity. We also delve into the exploration of ancient civilizations, focusing on archaeological finds, the Neolithic period, and the connections between zodiac symbols and historical narratives. We discuss the significance of cultural exchanges, the influence of geography on ancient societies, and the legacy of figures like Arthur in the context of myth and history. Peter also touches on the idea of secret knowledge being passed down through generations, highlighting the intertwining of history and mythology in understanding our past. We look for connections between the Holy Grail, the Bronze and Iron Ages, and the historical context of King Arthur.   Join our Patreon, support the show, get extra content and early access! https://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpent Support the show with a paypal donation: https://paypal.me/snakebros   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Brothers of the Serpent Podcast 04:43 The Legends of Lud and His Sons 12:04 Historical and Mythological Figures in Welsh Tradition 16:29 The National vs. Regional Arthur 18:12 The Significance of Memorials and Inscriptions 20:59 Discussion on Archaeological Findings 25:36 The Significance of Burial Practices 27:26 Christianity's Arrival in Britain 30:11 Joseph of Arimathea's Role in Early Christianity 33:07 Cultural Interactions and Language Barriers 36:01 Legends of Jesus' Missing Years 38:33 Neolithic Monuments and Their Mysteries 43:00 The Zodiac and Ancient Mapping 47:16 Exploring the Legacy of Arthurian Legends 47:45 Exploring Ancient Monuments and Zodiacs 49:12 The Transition from Neolithic to Bronze Age 51:17 The Story of Queen Albine and Her Legacy 52:39 Cultural Exchanges and Influences in Ancient Britain 56:20 The Role of Adventurers in Knowledge Exchange 01:01:25 Connecting Myths: The Epic of Gilgamesh and Welsh Traditions 01:07:23 The Significance of Mapping and Surveying in Ancient Cultures 01:12:16 Hidden Knowledge and Ancient Traditions 01:15:25 The Glastonbury Zodiac and Its Significance 01:19:10 Arthurian Legends and Secret Knowledge 01:22:38 The Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail 01:24:45 The Bronze Age and Trade Routes 01:32:39 Hillforts and Their Historical Context 01:38:40 Political Upheaval and Innovation 01:40:59 Chariots: A Historical Perspective 01:42:58 The Continuation of Ancient Traditions 01:44:06 The Etruscans and the Fall of Troy 01:44:57 The Legend of King Arthur 01:48:09 Mythologizing Historical Figures 01:52:00 The Role of Oral Tradition 02:00:00 Druidism and Its Evolution 02:10:00 Cultural Interactions and Historical Contexts

Americans often misunderstand the criticisms and anger directed at their country from even within. When Americans note that other countries have less crime, cleaner streets, better transportation, or are more kind, other Americans take offense and accuse them of abandoning the flag. What the accusers fail to realize is that these are valid criticisms of people who want their country to be safe, clean, efficient, etc. It is absolutely unacceptable that the richest country in the world has fallen to such a state that its citizens are abandoning ship in record numbers. When we make comparisons to other countries it is not because we necessarily think they are better; we just want our country to be similar, an ask that is in no way irrational or impossible in 2025. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

BEST OF TST: The Antarctica Effect is a series of stories from lost ecosystems and strange radio signals to pyramids that have been published as just happening, when a quick online search will prove that these same stories have appeared over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. In some instances going back over a decade in the case of the Antarctica pyramid. Due to its remoteness and extreme environment, few ever venture there with few exceptions for science or military projects. Several countries have territorial claims in the ice; others have research stations. It is the perfect location to set a science fiction story, a tale of desolation and horror, or a theory of UFOs and lost civilization. In 1936 H.P. Lovecraft published “At he Mountains of Madness”; two years later in 1938 a book called “Who Goes There?” was published; that same year Neuschwabenland was explored by Germany; in 1951 “The Thing from Another World” was released, based on the 1938 book, which lead to the 1982 movie “The Thing”; In 1998 The X Files movie released; and in 2008 a mocking documentary was published online with images that became source material for Antarctica conspiracy theories. Those theories expanded after Lake Vostok produced evidence of 3,500 different species, resulting in leading authorities visiting the icy world; this story was later substituted with authorities traveling to see the UFO in ice, the same one from that mocking documentary. Then whistleblowers surfaced talking about weapons and technology that were already public knowledge, leading to a thought that perhaps there is something there and people, for the wrong reasons, were getting close, thus requiring the presence of disinformation and misinformation agents, just as the pentagon used UFOs to cover up development of the F-117.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In the email exchange leading up to our conversation, my guest Kristina Marie wrote "The Hero is Dead."That sentence stopped me in my tracks. It's a suspicion I've had for a while, but maybe there's still a part of me that doesn't want it to be true. "What do you mean? But I love my hero's journey stories!" that part protested.In the episode, Kristina and I dove straight into this topic. We discussed: The new myths we're living, telling, and weaving in the face of crumbling structures and collapsing old paradigmsThe difference between the mystic's journey and the hero or heroine's journeyWhat a transformational story isThe journey of becoming the person who can tell our own stories as its own unique processIt's a profound conversation and my mind was blown with epiphany after epiphany throughout.Here's Kristina's bio:For more than a decade, I worked as a journalist and an editor at top national magazines, including Travel + Leisure and T magazine at the New York Times. Since launching Voyages of the Spirit nine years ago, I've combined my publishing skills, intuitive gifts, and creative wisdom to mentor writers, leaders, visionaries, mystics, and storytellers. I guide my clients in structuring their transformational stories and birthing their books, awakening their creative genius, discovering their personal mythology, and building an ecosystem for their life's work.Join Kristina's group program Story Map.Visit Kristina's website and follow her on Instagram.

In this PT-2 follow up episode to a September 29, 2025, we will objectively explore the details of the Snake Eyes movie and its relationship to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Despite there being seemingly incredible parallels, many of the important correlations have been ignored in favor of assumed connections like the 9/10 date of the assassination, which was actually 9/19 in the movie, or the 911 in an Erika Kirk music video that was cropped to ignore other numbers. The film features a Charles Kirkland being shot in the neck, taken to the hospital, and later dying during a public event. A strange character is pumping his fist and chanting in front of the camera, a character named Tyler is involved in the conspiracy, and the iconic motifs of the ‘woman in red' and ‘woman in white' are present. There is also the all-seeing eye and lucky number 7. But beyond the real life parallels and other occult imagery, the movie involves a hurricane named Jezebel, which strangely connects to the real Charlie Kirk. Why? Because the leftwing, feminist, anti-child cult website Jezebel published an article two days before Kirk's death about Etsy witches being hired to cast spells against the conservative commentator as an ‘ethical' stance against his opinions.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Comets may be one of the most underrated influences on everything from religion and superstition to health. From the ancient world until contemporary times, the comet was and remains a harbinger, an omen, a portent of upheaval and change. It's not just a celestial sign either, as scientific analysis of a comet's composition may help to explain our history of disease outbreaks around the world, and thus the nature of  wars and the deaths of empires or kings that are associated with the appearance of these objects in the sky. Furthermore, the comet is a carrier of the water above the firmament just as it is a macrocosmic sperm searching for a planetary egg. The appearance of three interstellar objects in the last decade, including 3I Atlas, also share a relationship with religious prophecy and disease. Oumuamua was the first messenger, Borisov the fighter, names associated with John the Baptists and Jesus, making Atlas the third part of this holy trinity. Borisov also was discovered in August 2019, making a close pass to earth in December of the same year, just in time to herald the COVID pandemic. The gasses and chemicals contained in a comet, when injected into earth's atmosphere, have the ability to make us sick on a wide scale - see the Black Death. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

 We really had a great time talking with duo Haunted Like Human about their upcoming album “American Mythology” Its available November 21, 2025! We discussed their fated car breakdown that led to their becoming a band, how they got their name, and we geeked out over houseplants! (Or Lego plants in Bethany's case!)   Nashville based folk duo Haunted Like Human - Dale Chapman (they/them) and Cody Clark (he/him) - will release a new album, American Mythology, this fall.     Mythology evokes images of gods, titans, demons, and beasts of every kind. Yet, it's the spark of humanity that keeps us telling and retelling myths. It's these stories of seduction, inheritance, and hubris that Nashville-based folk duo Haunted Like Human rekindle in the 14 songs on theirthird album American Mythology, out October 2025. Since the release of 2021's Tall Tales & Fables, Dale Chapman and Cody Clark have been refining their sound rather than departing from it. The result is a shapely set of songs that borrow from universal lore in order to reveal intimate truths. Led by Chapman's warmly capacious voice and Clark's classical techniques on a steel-string guitar, the pair prove they write songs like novelists write their books, using careful detail and well-shaped characters to tell even the heaviest of stories. Whatever the topic, the songs shine with restrained arrangements and entwined harmonies. This duo tells stories so well that there's no need to cloak them with heavy-handed production or vocal processing. Instead, Haunted Like Human lets the humanity shine through.  Be sure to check them out at:  Website: hauntedlikehuman.com  YouTube: Hauntedlikehuman  IG: haunted.like.human.music  Facebook: Haunted Like Human  

From Cinderella to Beauty and the Beast, the roots of fairy tales stretch back thousands of years — to the dawn of Indo-European languages and beyond.In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by author and journalist Laura Spinney to explore the origins of mythology.

Does Tylenol, or acetaminophen, cause autism? Those who disagree are taking pills for fun and those who agree are defending the link as absolute proof. What happened to vaccines caused autism? Furthermore, even on the issue of vaccines, most serious arguments never said they caused autism, but instead were a large contributor to autism. The same is true for the federal link of acetaminophen to autism. It is a link to a potential risk. That's different than a direct agent of cause, and certainly the only cause. Acetaminophen was introduced in the 1890s, and autism was first coined in 1911, not being fully diagnosed until the 1940s. However, upon its introduction, it was never widely available to the public, something that only became true in the 1950s. For context, we need to address what autism actually is: some key characteristics are a struggle to maintain eye contact, scripted speech, issues with nonverbal gestures, having very focused interest in specific subject, arranging things obsessively, a dislike for a loud noises. These are fascinating symptoms, considering that they are the definition of a cultural behavior found famously in the Japanese. In other words, these behaviors in the United States would be classified as autism, but in Japan, normal functional and civil behaviors. As with ADD, which disappeared and was changed to ADHD, and as with polio, which was likely caused by DDT and other chemicals, autism itself might be a misclassified condition. As with the MAHA movement's focus on beef, dairy, and sugar, it appears the linkage of autism to Tylenol takes the responsibility off of more likely culprits that contribute, not directly cause, a complex neurological condition. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The new White House memoranda on domestic terrorism follows in the footsteps of the Biden, Obama, and Bush administrations in labeling criticism and resistance to government policies, actions, and direction as threats against the country. Meanwhile the pentagon is preparing to build an aggressive military, which as history has show, will never sit idly by and go to waste. The same is true for new weapons systems. If you have them, you will use them. This is very arguably what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Founding fathers of the U.S. largely believed that a standing army was dangerous and that armed citizens were more of a deterrent against tyranny and invasion. However, as Washington believed, this was only applicable if the citizens were responsible. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas. We explore how Mas blends Greek mythology with Romantasy storytelling, the way her heroine's journey reframes themes of legacy, sacrifice, and divine power, and how the novel's exploration of fate versus free will shapes both character arcs and narrative tension. We also dive into how Mas's reimagining of Hercules' myth offers fresh commentary on gender, strength, and what it truly means to be a mythical hero in a modern fantasy. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. If you're new here, we also have full seasons analyzing A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight. Go back and check those out to see how we break down metaphors, symbolism, narrative structure, and character arcs through multiple literary lenses. Plus, we're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice. We're publishing original essays and thought pieces, and we encourage listeners to submit their own articles for a chance to be featured. If you love Sarah J. Maas, Romantasy, and deep literary analysis, you're in the right place. Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured!

The plans are in place for a global war encompassing the United States, Russia, China, Iran, and Israel. Palantir's Alex Karp guarantees it. Right on schedule we are being told that Osama Bin Laden's son is planning terrorists attacks in the U.S. on hospitals by pretending to be doctors. The narrative is already established that Muslims want to burn down all Christian churches. But who blows up hospitals and churches, and who dresses like someone else to do it on occasion? It isn't the Muslim. Furthermore, who just labeled Christianity as a hate group? The ADL, not the Muslim brotherhood.

From ancient Sumerian epics to modern-day sightings in England's Cannock Chase, the werewolf has terrorized humanity for over 2,000 years — and the real history includes medieval trials that tortured and executed thousands of accused shapeshifters, medical conditions that spawned the legends, and 35 documented sightings in a single forest that continue to this day. Journey through the dark truth behind lycanthropy, from the She-Wolves of Jülich who allegedly killed 94 people to the shocking werewolf trials that made witch hunts look merciful, and discover why every culture on Earth has its own terrifying version of the wolf-human hybrid.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: The idea of the werewolf has been with us for a long time – the first mention of a werewolf that we know of is over two thousand years ago. We'll look at the origins of the werewolf, look at whether they are actually real, and if so, how one goes about becoming one, and some of the cures believed to release the man from the beast. Of course, it's not always the Wolf-Man… sometimes it's the Wolf-Woman. We'll look at the most fearsome lady werewolves throughout history! I'll tell you about the trials and punishments of those convicted of being werewolves – many probably wish they'd have confessed to being witches instead! Plus, what if I was to tell you that werewolves truly ARE real – and that a small village has been terrorized by them for decades – right up to modern day? There is convincing evidence to back up my claim!

The loss of the collected works of Joseph Campbell or Carl Jung would be a devastating blow to entertainment, culture, history, etc., considering how much these men influenced the former. But if we think about this in regard to ancient history, it is very difficult to ascertain much of anything about people that lived thousands of years before our time, especially when we have only fragmentary evidence of their existence. However, when there are parallels in this evidence we should pull at that common thread rather than dismiss it and reduce it to coincidence. Just ago we were still telling people slaves built the Giza pyramids and now museums are telling the public that skilled workers paid in oil and spices perform the construction. On the other hand, there's a movement that pushes the idea most Egyptian artifacts are manufactured in the 20th century. What's more interesting than orthodoxy and conspiracy is the fact that there are incredible parallels between overlooked Egyptian artifacts, and what we find in India and further east in Asia all the way back around to the Americas. With the recent announcement of a 1.1 million-year-old skull, the ideas about human origins being anything but African and past advance civilizations is growing more evident.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the US military had to admit that they were either negligent or simply unable to stop the looting and destruction of priceless and countless antiquities in the museums of that country. Specifically Baghdad. Some believe that the US military had something to do with it. Currently, we are watching something similar happen in Gaza as archaeologists have been forced to rush artifacts out of bombed cities as Israeli troops make their ground assault. Considering how similar the latter is to the former, it's not out of the realm of possibility that the targeting of museums is part of a broader cultural genocide. The same goes for militant groups like Isis, a supposedly Muslim group that targeted mosques and their own regional historical monuments. If the British, Americans, and Israelis do run these groups, then it would make them essentially paramilitary branches of much larger western governments that clearly, under a Christian-Jewish ethos, desire to destroy far older evidence of sophisticated and advanced cultures and ideas considered enemies to their own.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

How much can a tiny insect tell us about our relationship with nature?This podcast episode unfolds as a chronicle—tracing one insect, the scarab, across time and place.From the banks of the Nile in Ancient Egypt, to the French Alps twenty years ago, to today's Mediterranean shores, and even millions of years back, when a scarab's body lay buried until archaeologists uncovered it.Why has an insect once worshipped as a god by our ancestors lost its place in our modern cities?What made it so important that our ancestors kept it so close? What wisdom does it hold? And how can we rebuild this relationship—not only with it, but with other living beings?⭐ If you liked the episode, please share it and rate it 5 stars on your favourite platform.Sources:https://ancientegyptonline.co.uk/khepri/https://www.naturalhistorycuriosities.com/insects/scarab-beetles-and-their-meaning-in-the-ancient-egyptian-history/Cover: Illustration of Egyptian scarabs (public domain, from an early archaeological catalogue)Hosted by Ausha.

For 15 years, we have been talking with our cohost Mike D about the common sense of reading labels and not trusting the standard American diet. We recognize that so many people genuinely have no idea that soda companies or snack companies, etc., are not just selling poison, but have engaged in actions that are morally reprehensible. Coca-Cola has paid scientists to lie about their product. The sugar industry itself has paid scientist off since the 1960s to point a finger at fat. It's not just foolish, but asinine that the US pretends at every level of society to have no idea why they are overall the fattest and sickest in the world.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A YouTube comment claimed "Theology is mythology." But is that true? In this episode we define both terms, examine their differences and similarities, expose the assumption that "all religion is myth," and bring the discussion back to the truth of the Gospel.

Many would be surprised to learn that the ANTIFA movement is not new. In fact, it's over 100 years old. ANTIFA was, and remains, a paramilitary branch of the communist party. In the 1930s, before Nazism came to power, the ideas of nationalism, fixing economic turmoil, fighting crime, and getting rid of obscenity in society, were met with protest from this so-called "anti-fascist" action group. When criminals were put into camps, ANTIFA protested the camps to get them removed. This is still happening today. ANTIFA is also much more, as the American branch in the 1930s was literally a movement run by the Jewish mafia. They engaged in physical violence to stop free speech, protest, publication, etc. We recently were told that ANTIFA has been designated a terrorist organization. However, there has been no official classification. In other words, it's just words. Meanwhile, the influence behind the White House and Congress runs ANTIFA. That's because this current government is compromised by the same people that ran the previous government. With the US Attorney General, FBI Director, president, and hordes of shocked conservatives in the wake of a political assassination, all trying to justify censorship while following the Anti-Defamation League script, we are learning in real time about history.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

“You're supposed to represent power!”This episode about Egyptian mythology also includes history about The Great Race for Mercy, during which Darien mistakenly refers to an important sled dog as “Fox” when his name was actually Togo. Deepest apologies. Those responsible have been sacked. Other topics include many Horus Variants, a Peregrine Falcon PSA, Young Horus as a symbol of hope, a very cool-sounding festival tradition that was probably pretty meh actually, strategic connections to godly iconography, a side tangent about sixth grade social studies, and Horus being a big, fat cheater. Content Warning: This episode contains mentions of and conversations about gun violence, death, and the afterlife. Spoilers for SMITE, Aladdin: King of Thieves, The Mummy Returns, and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Learn more about Sandy Hook Promise: https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/DJ and the Plucky Squire bonus episode available NOW on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/musesofmythologyAbout UsMuses of Mythology was created and co-hosted by Darien and DJ Smartt.Our music is Athens Festival by Martin Haene.

#WDRadio Week of Sept 21, 2025: When desperate believers sold everything they owned to follow self-proclaimed prophets promising salvation, they discovered a horrifying truth: the line between divine vision and madness was written in poison, prison bars, and the hangman's noose. From miracle eggs inscribed with holy messages to a 65-year-old virgin claiming to carry the Messiah, this is the disturbing pattern of religious mania that swept through the 19th century, leaving thousands betrayed and broken in its wake.==========HOUR ONE: Claiming to audibly hear from God either makes you crazy, or a prophet – and only time can tell which is true. If you claim things are going to happen because God says they will – and then they don't happen – that means you're cray cray, and a false prophet. That also makes your followers a bunch of dupes. Sadly, the 19th and 20th centuries were full of crazy false prophets with mindless sheep worshipping them. (Creating False Prophets) *** Headline: “Exciting Wake!” When you see the words “exciting” and “wake” in the same headline, you can make a guess that someone is not resting in peace! (Exciting Wake)==========HOUR TWO: “The Witching Hour of 3AM” *** You don't have to go to a cemetery or haunted house to experience the supernatural. You don't need to drive a cursed road to encounter a ghost. Sometimes the paranormal takes place on military bases. (The Military And The Mysterious) *** The corpse of a murderer winds up doing advertising for a drug store. (The Murder of Maggie Walker) *** In 1922, an otherwise unremarkable farmhouse in Novia Scotia was the site of alleged poltergeist activity which made headlines all over Canada and the United States. A poltergeist that liked to set fires. (The Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A smitten fan falls in love with a talented actress, and convinces himself she loves him in return. This sounds very much like a story out of today's entertainment magazines – but this tale of unrequited love took place in the 1880's. (The Lunatic James Dougherty) *** The terrifying Aswang is the most feared creature of Philippine folklore—and with good reason. I'll tell you why. (The Deadly Aswang) ** Reports have been coming in from people claiming to see full-sized African lions not in the Savannah or in the wilderness – but in North America. But is there any truth to the their claims? (Phantom Lions of North America)==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:BOOK: “Mysterious America” by Loren Coleman: https://amzn.to/3lZIviBBOOK: “Creatures of Philippine Lower Mythology”: https://amzn.to/3m2Re3kDOCUMENTARY: “The Aswang Phenomenon”: https://amzn.to/3jQrNjC“Creating False Prophets” by Dr. Romeo Vitelli for Providentia: https://tinyurl.com/y5bqt97p,https://tinyurl.com/y26vpmga, https://tinyurl.com/y6tgpcl3, https://tinyurl.com/y2jy3eqf“Phantom Lions of North America” by Brent Swancer for MysteriousUniverse.com: https://tinyurl.com/yygdg3eh“Exciting Wake” from the Huntington, IN “Daily Democrat”, reposted on the Strange Company website: https://tinyurl.com/y5cy4ksa“The Deadly Aswang” by Professor Geller for Mythology.net: https://tinyurl.com/yxhcrcxc“The Witching Hour of 3AM” from Paranormality Magazine“The Fire Spook of Caledonia Mills” by Hammerson Peters for MysteriesOfCanada.com: https://tinyurl.com/y43ug999“The Lunatic James Dougherty” by Robert Wilhelm for MurderByGaslight.com: https://tinyurl.com/yxkxo8b6“The Military and the Mysterious” by Brent Swancer for MysteriousUniverse.org: https://tinyurl.com/y46jdmks“The Murder of Maggie Walker” posted on the website Murders In History: https://tinyurl.com/y2qw2rup==========(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Three of the biggest lobbies in Washington DC are sugar, dairy and meat. We should be forgiven for thinking that federal guidance to fry foods in beef tallow, drink more whole milk, and put sugar in Coca-Cola, are part of a corporate conspiracy of coercion to further undermine public health. On a positive note, more people are finally recognizing that America's health problems are a direct result of the excessive consumption of not only the above mentioned products, but of additives and chemicals, compounded by massive portion sizes, encouragement to eat additional meals, and sophisticated psychological techniques that are employed to mislead and gaslight the consumer into believing YOLO.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of The Jiu Jitsu Mindset, Pete Deeley sits down with Professor Chris Burns for an insightful conversation. While Professor Lucas Rubbo is unfortunately absent, Chris Burns steps in to share his unique journey and philosophies. Chris discusses his diverse background, from being a university professor to managing a porn store, and his eventual immersion into Jiu Jitsu and teaching. The discussion explores the essence of focusing energy, the joy and balance found in Juujitsu, and the importance of self-discipline and self-confidence. Chris also delves into his relationship with Rickson, describing the profound impact it has had on his life and teaching. The conversation touches on Chris's approach to raising his son with the values of confidence and self-awareness, and his deep connection with the ocean as a source of calm and home. Through his engaging storytelling and candid reflections, Chris provides rich insights into the mindset required not only for Jiu Jitsu but for a purposeful life.   00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:45 Guest Introduction: Professor Chris Burns 01:26 Chris Burns' Diverse Background 14:32 The Journey to Jiu Jitsu 21:25 The Philosophy of Teaching and Learning 34:40 Personal Reflections and Family 37:10 Engaging in Physical Games with Kids 37:33 Swearing and Parenting Challenges 39:01 Encouraging Independent Thinking 39:58 The Power of Language and Discipline 43:33 Reflections on Personal Growth and Parenting 51:40 Finding Peace and Connection with the Ocean 58:00 The Spirituality of the Ocean and Jiu-Jitsu 01:05:04 The Hero's Journey and Mythology 01:09:42 Connecting with Professor Chris Burns

After deciphering a series of symbols that look remarkably like "love, death, and robots," the OSPod also takes the time to talk about the world right before WWI! In less speculative news, we also vindicate Doc Oc, start a Sinister Six rock band, and once more think about Oscar the Grouch ice skating! Our podcast, like our videos, sometimes touches on the violence, assaults, and murders your English required reading list loves (also we curse sometimes).
