005 Maria Stadtmueller of The Big Chew Podcast and meetyourmyth.com

Maria is a writer and podcaster from rural New Jersey from an ultra-catholic family. Maria wanted to be a nun and was obsessed about going to hell. By chance she read Joseph Campbell in high school and he flung open the doors to how humans create story and belief. Maria was a stand-up comic in New York. She has a Master's degree in creative writing from the University of Iowa, where she also studied religion. Her passion is the new cosmology-the science based story of how we and our universe have evolved and its potential to supplant religion. Her e-book: Songs That Are to Come, tells of her own discovery of this story from catholic nuns. She now lives in northern Vermont where she blogs and podcasts at meetyourmyth.com.
