Do you love myths, legends, and folklore -- gods, heroes, monsters, fairies, elves, magical artifacts, and wild adventures that are also journeys of the soul? Then Mythic may just be your jam.

Host Boston Blake weaves the fantastical into the ordinary world, connecting ancient archetypes to contemporary life. Media, culture, and the mundane become magical when viewed from a mythic perspective.

Caution: May cause an increase in synchronicity.

When other little boys were playingsports or catching frogs or whatever,
I was in the library, reading everymythology book I could get my hands on.
It all started with WonderWoman, then Clash of the
Titans, the good one from 1981.
And I was hooked.
What started as a childhood fascinationbecame a lifelong obsession.

My name is Boston Blake.
And I'm the host of the Mythic podcast.
If you're listening to this trailer,there's a good chance you're already
aware of the massive catalog ofmythology podcasts out there.
Well, this one is a little different.
Sure.
My guests and I, we geek out on ourfavorite myths and legends, but what's
more important is how they've impactedus and why they matter so much.

(00:46):
I believe that these fictionalstories contain cores of truth.
That can help us live moremeaningful and fulfilling lives.
And it's not all Hercules and Thor and abunch of calcified tales carved into clay.
These archetypes live in modern media, insuperheroes, in marketing and branding,
in nearly every movie and TV show.

(01:07):
And in our daily lives.
In Mythic, we look at all of it.
If you love stories, and sensethat there's more to them than
just entertainment value, thenthis podcast is just for you.
