Season 4 of Jung in the World podcast launches this month. Every season is a renewal of our purpose, which is to apply the ideas of Carl Jung to contemporary living. Host Patricia Martin interviews authors, Jungian analysts, philosophers, scientists, and public figures whose work intersects with Jungian theory. This eclectic mix of thinkers opens up the deepest questions of how we become, and go on becoming, ourselves.

Highlights from Season 4 include:

How God Becomes Real, with acclaimed anthropologist and Stanford professor Tanya Luhrmann, who shares insights about how we kindle the presence of gods and spirits and how this effort explains the endurance of faith across time and cultures.

Jungian analyst and author Robert Tyminski discusses The Archetype of Masculinity: A Crisis in Men and Boys. Tyminski brilliantly weaves poignant case studies with Jungian theory and mythology in an interview that meets the urgency of our times when ideas about masculinity are roiling in the Collective.

We re-visit the legend of the Holy Grail with author Paul Bishop, a professor at University of Glasgow, who peels back layers of the Parsifal myth to reveal its meaning in a contemporary context.

Jung and the Post-Human Age, with Pacifica professor and author Glen Slater is a deep dive into what digital culture is doing to the human psyche as we internalize the fractiousness of the outer world.

What it Means to Grow Up, with the esteemed Jungian and author of 20 books, James Hollis, who brings useful, relatable stories, and incisive wisdom that cuts through the haze of our uncertain times.
