THE COLLECTED AUDIO
OF JOSEPH CAMPBELL

In the course of his career, Joseph Campbell shared his work through classes, books, and a wide variety of lectures. The Collected Audio of Joseph Campbell gathers audio recordings of some of those lectures so you can experience what it might have been like to attend them.

 

The JCF team is in the process of cleaning and restoring these audio files, some of which were originally recorded for audio cassettes. We will release collections of lectures as soon as they become available.

 

Travel through time with these recordings and experience the timeless wisdom of Campbell’s scholarship.
