EP00 | American Democracy's Call to Quest

In these troubling times, the rule of the people requires our participation lest democracy slip from our fingers altogether. American Musecast invites listeners to a journey through civics, current events, and the charms and challenges of our socio-political institutions. Using elements of positive psychology and drawing from the archetypes of the hero’s journey found in narratives of myth, religion, culture, and politics, Susan Travis presents American democracy and its citizens as flawed heroes on an aspirational expedition of hope and determination.
Topics discussed in this episode:

• [3:12] The need for informed citizenry
• [6:41] Archetypes and the hero’s journey
• [7:40] The promise of American Musecast
• [8:12] American Musecast schedule
