Mythic Mind

Andrew Snyder

Pursuing wisdom through primary and secondary worlds. Mythic Mind is a conversation about stories, thought, and the inner life. We read literature and philosophy, talk through film and games when they help, and ask what these works reveal about the soul, the good life, and the Christian imagination. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings, C.S. Lewis and Narnia, Kierkegaard, Beowulf, myth and fairy stories, Tolstoy, and the great books all take their turn at the table. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., the show gathers fellow readers and thinkers around a common table. Some episodes are lessons. Most are recorded discussions. All of them aim at seeing more clearly, not merely consuming more content. New seasons take up a shared theme across the Fellowship. Listen on your own, then join the wider conversation in the Mythic Mind Fellowship: https://mythicmindfellowship
