  • Summary

  • "Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps"
    "America is a Melting Pot"
    "Anyone can succeed in America"

    These are just some of the idioms you've probably heard that make up America's national mythos. In this episode, MK and Ben breakdown these myths, draw out a distinction between mythology and identity, and pick through the wreckage of our nation's crumbling mythos for what is salvageable.

    FABRICATED Premise:
    Beyond the narratives we recognize as stories, we discuss the stories that shape our lives, the power they have over our actions and beliefs, and how we might wrest back some personal agency when stories designed to control permeate our media and political landscape.

    Our mission is to dissect the stories we take for granted as truths, unravel them, and see if we can find story threads that weave a better personal, spiritual, and social fabric.
