what’s wrong with the guy who does the intros

Crucial teachings for times of collapse and renewal.

Being in touch with Michael Meade’s words is so medicinal for me. He speaks and writes with so much vibrancy and wisdom. I often share about this podcast and his quotes because I find his storytelling so deeply powerful and beautiful. I am so grateful to hear his medicine stories especially at this disorienting time.

I can’t imagine trying to navigate life right now without this podcast. Thank you.

I appreciate these words, this invocation in a dark moment in history to remind me to live with imagination and creativity can prevail. Thank you.

Wise storytelling for inspiration, learning, and navigating this wild modern world. Appreciating you and your gifts! Thank you for sharing

I really enjoy this thoughtful, informative show. Thanks for your work.

This is an absolutely brilliant program and Michael Meade Is doing remarkable work. Thank you each week for your dazzling insights.

Great stuff. Thank you Michael.

Your podcast is irrelevant. We need strength because of our enemies. You are isolating the climate around the country from your fairytale.

Michael Meade has been one of my favorite commenters on the subjects of mythology, psychology, philosophy, and imagination for years. I only discovered his podcast recently, but I eagerly digest each episode with a hungry heart and soul.

I love this podcast! It always speaks right to where I am, which these days is often in despair. Michael Meade provides me with much-needed perspective and encouragement. I’m so grateful for this wonderful resource!

The information transmitted here is of the deepest soul level. It’s my hope that enough of us can wake up to this and set the world on fire.

Thank you hope all these stories come gain in my lifetime and as usual just in time ! Keeping as a Terex, wisdom and religion and science, of course! All in the same realm all as one just like we are all one!

I came across Michael Meade about 30 years ago and even then his story Work was profound. Now we get to listen to the essence of his realisations garnered from a lifetime of contemplation of mythology and human experience. This is my favourite podcast these days. Often I turned to it in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep. It’s perfect. I’m so grateful that it’s available. Thank you Michael for who you are and all that you’ve done and the gift you brought to the world by being you.

One of the best sociology guides to inner peace and study of the human soul ! My go to podcast for spiritual studies!

My soul, my work and my vision for what’s possible personally and collectively is so fed by this beautiful, rich and deep podcast. Many thanks to Michael!

At a time when listening to the news almost completely rips the heart apart, Michael Meade’s patient and organically organized stream of knowledge soothes the sharp aching pain inside of us. His beautiful collection of stories throughout our existence shifts us back toward our centers and guides us back into the wholeness we forgot we were. He draws from the continuous stream of knowledge and holds the cup out for us, quenching our thirst for truth, belonging and authenticity. (Favorite episode is stream of knowledge) We are so deeply grateful that you exist Michael.

Wonderful content. Thank you! This is good for the soul.

Listening…Reminds Me. Of What I’ve Always Been Aware Of. And Needed To Be Reminded Of That. Thank You! BTW! When Listening…Micheal Meade Sounds Like, Harvey Keitel To Me.🤷🏽‍♀️

I tune in with Michael Meade when I’m needing to feel grounded that all is not lost; in fact, our deepest power rests steady & ready for awakening all around and within us. Thank you for your guidance and lens.

I feel like I have a teacher/spiritual companion/community on our collective journey.

This podcast has accompanied me through the last few years like a wise and compassionate friend. The topic of each show seems to always expand on something I have found myself in conversation with- within myself- in the week. The storytelling is fresh and alive, and I find joy in the weaving through time and myth, inevitably coming right back here to the present, renewed.

Myths play a crucial role in our lives and Michael Meade reminds us of how they serve as cultural touchstones, reflecting the values, beliefs, and traditions of a society. They offer a sense of identity and belonging, connecting individuals to their cultural heritage and inspire creativity and imagination, even when the storytelling comes from another culture. Moreover, the myths and interpretations he provides offer profound lessons and guidance, teaching us about virtues, ethics, and act as a moral compass to navigate the complexities life.

Really insightful, comforting, liberating ideas delivered in a beautiful way.

Every time I open and listen to Michael Meades words, it’s as if I’m sitting at the knee of ancestor who speaks the language of my deepest heart. Every. Time. Every episode is both relevant and resonant. I am grateful beyond words for this podcast and rich well of soothing waters it provides for my life and heart.

When my soul is aching and I need to connect at the deepest level possible this series brings me back to meaning and depth. Michael Meade is a gift that brings sanity into an insane time. Bless you many times over at Mosaic for what you offer the world. Your words are so needed by me and others. Thanks

For the last few years I have done a great deal of inner work in the Jungian sense in reflection of the stage of my life I call “the third act”. Michael’s talks have been very helpful in creating a thread through the central themes of my journey connecting the inner work of the subconscious to the outer world and how my own self or core engages with the season of “my third act”.

This podcast, it’s perspectives and offerings are so beneficial to my wellbeing and I am sure the wellbeing of all those who listen. It is widening and beautifully expansive. What Michael knows and shares and the spirit in which he does it, makes this world a better more navigable place in which to live and become. Thank you for your offering.

I love this podcast! Michael Meade takes ideas from mythology and depth psychology and connects them masterfully and you feel like you gained an intuitive understanding of things that are important and difficult to communicate. If you have interest in your own spiritual growth, this podcast is for you.

Michael Meade is doing such great work. This podcast is just one the many ways he is bringing light to these dark times. More people need to hear this podcast. Every single episode opens my mind. Words can’t even do it justice. Just listen to great storyteller spin his tale.

Just started listening the episode “ beyond anxiety “ blew my mind. 🤯 it speaks to the human experience on a down-to-earth level and shows how anxiety is a piece of that story. A much needed perspective! Grateful to have found this podcast.

So I didn’t think I was interested in myths - im too practical and rooted in the here and now, and I have a weak imagination. I was required to listen to a few episodes of this podcast for a program and I haven’t stopped listening. Sometimes his words cut so close to my heart’s truth about our world (truths that are rarely reflected in mainstream american culture) that it brings tears, and relief too — im not alone in this struggle — I am just alive during a special time in the big human story.

A friend recommended listening . I started at the most recent and am working my way backwards. Each episode is wonderful. I am so grateful for each episode and encouraged with Michael’s wisdom teachings. He connects the dots between all the dimensions and his clarity and Cosmic perspective gives me Peace and Hope. Thank you …

Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. It has uplifted me so deeply and helped me to continue to positively move forward in my search for my place in this tumultuous time. Courage and Metanoia.

I wish I could remember who recommended this podcast to me. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Each episode is like sermon. Thank you for you for your inspiring insights, Michael. Listen and be inspired!

I am so grateful to have found this podcast. As a rabbi, writer and facilitator I turn to Living Myth for inspiration and nourishment. The themes Michael Meade speaks to are always relevant and why the wheels turning in my own heart, mind and soul for how they resonate within my lineages and tradition. I leave each episode uplifted, rewoven into the fabric of life, my soul reconnected to, as Michael says “the soul of the world.”

A wonderful podcast!

Love this. Easily in my top 5. A truly unique offering in a crowded space. Almost always seems to hit home. 🐉

Gratitude.

Meade digests aspects of our culture with nuance and depth. I feel a spiritual connection to these stories and interpretations because they let the bewildering be wild and nourishing.

I enjoy this show. It connects me back to my center

This podcast could be called Living Sage, as Michael Meade continually provides us with medicine and guidance for our dark times. With each new episode, I feel like I’m tuning into a secret well of wisdom, coming away with a renewed spirit and sense of meaning. Somehow, things are going to be okay. The world will be born again. Thank you Michael, your work is so important and appreciated.

A few years ago, I wouldn’t have had the patience to listen for what was being said in between the words spoken. However, I have heard ideas shared that have help me understand and navigate the “dark times”. “Dark Times” is a phrase that is regularly heard but there are nuggets of wisdom that have been shared during each episode that I’ve listened to so far. There have also been a couple of Aha! moments where I’ve heard something in a myth or folktale. I appreciate Mr. Meade’s gifts but he’s not for everyone and that’s okay.

He is smart but every show has the same theme and tone: “these are dark times”. He watches the news, gets depressed and writes “A Dixie ain’t what used be” podcast sprinkling in quotes and stories from ancient times. I don’t know what times were so good that by contrast these are so bad. It’s Debbie Downer with vocab from Jung and Joesph Campbell.

Michael Mead is a insightful and knowledgeable mythology based storyteller. But unfortunately he gets swept up into his politics and actually alienates a lot of listeners. EVERYONE would be blessed by these stories and Micheal’s insights on how they can be applied in one’s life. I’m on the far far left and feel alienated from the story when Michael gets political. I wish I could send these episodes to my father (who is very right wing) but he would recoil once Michael starts up with the politics. It’s very, very unfortunate. Using these wisdom filled stories to promote a U.S. based political agenda hallows out their power and feels very misguided.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I believe these stories and the wisdom with which they are shared will minister to a great many souls during this time of endings and beginnings. Many blessings to Michael Meade, a wise sage and living ancestor.

There are no words to describe the power of this magical show. Thank you for all that you do.

Michael’s soothing voice embraces and supports as he delivers wisdom through story. This is a gem of a podcast that will nourish your soul.

Michael’s stories and wisdom has had profound effects on my own healing journey.
