  I watched this series on PBS in 1988 soon after moving to Tulsa, Ok., and it opened my eyes and changed my life forever! Suddenly the world made sense! I was simply overwhelmed by Campbell’s knowledge, his teaching, and the ease with which he told his story. Bill Moyers is a joy to watch when he interviews someone..knows his topic, never ever rude or confrontational as many are today…the absolute best.

• Sylvia Avsharian

  I had the exact same reaction….suddenly the world made sense!

  Actually helping people be more human. The best use of the public media/airwaves. This series cracked the world open for me in 2006. Thanks.

  BBC is funded by a tax donation offered when Brits pay their taxes every year. I wish we had this option for NPR. You really are a wonderful public service.

  ”
  Puissance du Mythe ” est le titre du livre publié aux éditions ” J’ai
  lu ” n° 3095, 1991. Un incontournable pour ceux qui s’intéressent aux
  mythologies…à lire en parallèle avec ” Images et symboles ” de Mircea
  Eliade, Tel Gallimard n° 44, 1952.Les deux auteurs se connaissaient très
  bien. Un double régal…

  Thank you, Bill. Your series with him remains one of the biggest inspirations in my life. Namaste.

  My goodness, has it been 25 years? This wasn’t just a personally moving series but lots of people were taping it and holding “Joe Campbell parties” to watch it in groups. Yet as I look at it again, accustomed now to Campbell’s insights, I am struck by Bill Moyers’ preparation and skill as an interviewer. He remains singular in this regard. Moyers, unlike all other interviewers, especially those specializing in people of notable artistic and intellectual accomplishment, uses all of his personal gifts and formidable intellect to never make the interview about him.

  Actually, the BBC is funded via a licence (sic) fee that you MUST pay if you watch (or record) live TV in the UK. It’s not a donation that you are free to offer or not. It’s currently £145.50 (about US$220) per year. (I’m British.) More here: http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/

  Thank you so much for making this series available. What I have learned has been profoundly and deeply life-changing. This couldn’t have come at a better time as I am at a major turning point in my life.

• jude in Woodstock

  Right on, Darin — Bill is indeed one of the heros.
  Thank you, Bill.

• Ed Eads

  I return to this series over and over. It’s a great gift and a kind of myth in itself. This kind of dialogue brings me to a better place — I think of it, and wham! I’m back in the seat of life.

• mvstan

  the first time I watched these in 1991, I found Joseph Cambell to be a profound source of meaning. However I felt that a lot of Moyers questions were inane and superficial precisely at the points when it would have been easier to go deeper.

• Trojan Horace

  and IMHO represents extraordinary value for money especially when compared to US cable subscriptions which cost significantly more for less

• Trojan Horace

  I first discovered Joe Campbell in a used book store in Rome but this series provided a huge boost to my appreciation and understanding of the extraordinary depth and scope of Campbell’s gifts. Landmark television at its best

• Patty

  I think all broadcasts on PBS should be archived and available to US citizens for free viewing anytime, since we already funded them.

• RCKent

  Why can’t we ever see anything related to the masterpiece “A Walk Through the 20th Century?”

  When I need wisdom or how to interpret the world, I turn to Joseph Campbell

  What I find intriguing is the ways in which Moyer’s interviewing techniques and methods have evolved over the decades. Before …he seemed to eagerly try to either impose or to fit his own framework, his own ideas, and his own conceptions upon the person being interviewed to a much greater extent than the present day Moyer’s – who now tends to draw out and reveal his guests much more skillfully and fully than before without engulfing or smothering them in his own aura. Or so it seems to me.
