Episode 014: Spice is worm poop

We’re back after too long of a break interviewing Masters of Literature candidate and 10th Planet Ventura owner Scott Ross. 

We cover the Monomyth/ the Hero's Journey as espoused in Joseph Campbell's "Hero With a Thousand Faces" which was itself heavily influenced by Jungian psychology. 

We also talk a lot about the Bene Gesserit Missionaria Protectiva by way of a discussion regarding previous attempts at changing history or using myth to control populations. Some excellent examples include: Genesis B and The Legend of King Arthur-  you’re going to want to look into those after hearing this if you aren’t very familiar. 

We also discuss some of the meaning behind specific names in the book series like the House of Atreus (Atreides) from Greek myth, the name Keynes, Helen Gaius Mohiam, etc.  

Finally, Jeff makes the controversial claim: spice Worm poop (or at least bodily waste). 

Fret not for another delay- eps -15 and 016 are already recorded and in those eps we return to book chapters!
