When better to talk about the impacts—the good, the bad, and the ugly—of cultural myths than today in National Frankenstein Day? In this episode, Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen dive deep into the things that are perpetuated in our culture through TV, radio, movies, and even word of mouth that are passed down from generation to generation. Remembering Joseph Campbell’s work on the formula of the hero’s journey, they talk about popular culture references spanning from Frankenstein, Santa Claus, Star Wars, and Disney to Greek mythology, religion, conspiracy theories, and more. Jason and Wrobel dig into the ways it affects our conditioning and programming, forming our identity, belief systems, expectations, and ethos. Pulling inspiration from stories following Campbell’s formula, they then share some great advice especially relevant in this time of COVID risks on dealing with curveballs, speaking up, and making mistakes.
