Jung in the World is Moving

In the dead of COVID, I started interviewing people about Jung in collaboration with the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago. And so, the podcast Jung in the World was born. No one, including me, expected two million downloads would follow. Six years and a couple of epiphanies later, it’s time for the Jung in the World podcast to individuate.

We’re moving to a new home: The Institute for Psyche and Culture.

I trained at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago through 2016. But my interest was never clinical; it was cultural.

Right now, I’m watching a civilizational disruption of selfhood unprecedented since the printing press. A conversation that puts depth psychology at the center of that vortex is what the Institute for Psyche and Culture was built for, and mysteriously, it’s what the podcast has been working toward all along.

“Everything psychic is pregnant with the future,” wrote Jung. A rising generation, exhausted by the performance of self, and hungry for depth is waiting.  We aim to meet the moment with conversations that advance inner life in the age of the algorithm. Jung’s not going anywhere. He’s been dead since 1961, and his work far exceeds what passes for insight on our phones.  

What’s changing is the address. In October, the podcast moves to a new feed. Season 6 starts soon, and it’s an ambitious lineup–video and audio. Come find us there. And come curious.
