Today's Highlight: Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth: ‘The Hero’s Adventure’
Bill Moyers and mythologist Joseph Campbell begin their groundbreaking and timeless conversation with an exploration of the classic hero cycle, including consistent and enduring hero patterns in literature, real life, and even the Star Wars films. Campbell also encourages the audience to view parts of their own lives as heroic journeys. Released in 1988, The Power of Myth was one of the most popular TV series in the history of public television, and continues to inspire new audiences
Continuing his long-running conversation with the American public, Bill Moyers returned to television and radio in January 2012 with Moyers & Company, a weekly series of smart talk and new ideas aimed at helping viewers make sense of our tumultuous times through the insight of America’s strongest thinkers. Airing on public television and radio stations around the country, the series offers a forum to poets, writers and artists, scientists and philosophers, and leading scholars. The program also features Moyers’ hallmark essays on democracy.
