Exceptional Campbell Interviews, December 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wisdom of Joseph Campbell: In Conversation with Michael Toms (Audio Cassette)
If you were introduced to Campbell by his interviews with Bill Moyers and "The Power of Myth," then these audio cassettes are a very good next step.
I like Campbell's work very much: his books, his videos, his lectures, etc. But I think that he shines most when being interviewed - it is in his interviews (be they with Bill Moyers or these) that he shines the most.
Michael Toms (the interviewer on these tapes) obviously has a background in myth - hence, he is a little more informed than Bill Moyers was and his relationship with Joseph Campbell is different. "The Power of Myth" is a great starting point, but I would say that I may have even taken more from these interviews with Michael Toms than I did those with Moyers.
I recommend these tapes highly.

I love Joseph Campbell, but these tapes are more about the interviewer, Michael Toms. I was really disappointed at the questions he asked and the way the whole thing seemed to be edited together.
Look for the tapes of Campbell's lectures instead!
