Author and craftsman Dave Stone joins the World XP Podcast to explore why dragon and serpent myths appear in cultures across the world, from ancient Mesopotamia and Celtic Europe to India, China, Japan and beyond. We discuss the recurring patterns hidden inside these stories, whether dragons may represent a shared human archetype, how ancient myths encoded ideas about nature and society, and what modern culture may have lost from the people who told them.

#Mythology #Dragons #AncientHistory #worldxppodcast

Former University of Texas journalism professor Robert Jensen returns to the World XP Podcast to challenge one of modern society’s deepest assumptions: that economic growth, energy use, technology, and human consumption can continue without limits. We discuss capitalism and socialism, government versus corporate power, ecological collapse, nuclear energy, technological optimism, meaningful work, and why Jensen believes humility and local community may matter more than ideological certainty.
