The Hero's Journey as the Monomyth discovered by Joseph Campbell is a pathway to helping narratives in our fiction speak to the deeper calling of our being to be unique and find our purpose. Dr. Gameology and Jenny use this episode to explain why the Hero's Journey became the foundation of The Gaming Persona podcast as they apply the basic structure of the journey to four video games: Kingdom Hearts, The Last of Us, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
