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. (The trademark HERO’S JOURNEY℠ is used under license from the Joseph Campbell Foundation (www.jcf.org))

I’m a work in progress. This podcast documents my ongoing quest for wealth, wisdom and enlightenment. The episodes are of variable length: When I find an interesting person to talk to – who is willing to have the conversation recorded, I put it up. But I have also found that it is useful to record my own thoughts – in short snippets.
