Posted another podcast.
Episode 25 (S4) Title: A Classic Hero Sandwich
https://www.hipcast.com/podcast/HncmJb
It is now available on Hipcast and Itunes. I go on a rant about modern and ancient heroes. I discuss the heroes of literature and review the heroes celebrated on TV while growing up. What is a modern hero? What is a classical one? Do heroes pay a price?
Joseph Campbell, the author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces, provides a definition of The Heroes Journey. Do each of us find our own adventure? Do we say “yes” to life or do we hide?
I did some soul searching on this podcast.
18:45 into the podcast a musical tribute is given to Khaled al-Asaad, a Syrian archaeologist and the head of antiquities at the ancient city of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Khaled al-Asaad refused to reveal the secrets of ancient artifacts of the city to the ISIL Militants and was beheaded for his bravery.
Remember his name!
