Join host cultural mythologist Leigh Melander, PhD to explore the evocative mythologies that inform who we are. The ancient Greeks said that myths were the things that were most and least true simultaneously. Far from just being a lie, myths pulse in the background of all of our lives -- our selves, our families, our communities -- we tell ourselves stories about all of them. What are the myths we're living in and how are they living in us? Myth America is a project of Spillian LLC, a creative center offering programming in imagination, story, myth, sustainability, and community.

Mythos & Logos
We like to delineate, us humans. We want things to be different. And we want our way to be better.
That tends to takes us to defining the world in binary ways - pitching what we see as rational and empirical understandings against story and intangible understandings.
But what if they're not binary? What if they're actually actually just different lenses to put in your glasses as you look at the world, that have more in common with one another than differences?
On this week's Myth America, a dance into mythos & logos, and some quantum physics, just to keep things interesting.
Myth America is a live, lively riff on the big stories that sit in how we understand the world from cultural mythologist and trouble maker Leigh Melander, PhD.
