We apply Joseph Campbell’s Hero's Journey to our AI created Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama, and then proceed to discuss its application in explaining news stories. Do these texts all hold up to the three main stages of the Hero’s Quest: Departure, Initiation, and Return? Or do they fail any test of heroic storytelling in a mythic sense.

Media Mothership explores the absurdities of modern media and culture. Hosts Dr Craig Norris and Lord Talor Lidstone make sense of the latest media news, trends and research in an informative and irreverent way.

Media Mothership broadcasts live out of Edge Radio studios, Hobart, Tasmania (www.edgeradio.org.au) Fridays 4-5pm (AEST).

Listen live on 99.3FM, or streaming/on-demand at YouTube, Twitch (search ‘media mothership’) and www.edgeradio.org.au.
