5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Campbell Interviews
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...

2.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for great Campbell stuff, look elsewhere
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!

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.
