We read literature and philosophy, talk through film and games when they help, and ask what these works reveal about the soul, the good life, and the Christian imagination. Hosted by Andrew Snyder, Ph.D., professor of theology and philosophy, the show gathers fellow readers and thinkers around a common table. Some episodes are lessons. Most are recorded discussions. All of them aim at seeing more clearly, not merely consuming more content. New seasons take up a shared theme across the Fellowship.

This Mythic Mind conversation slows down between those poles with a technologist and a novelist. Dr. Andrew Snyder (professor of philosophy and theology) is joined by Josh Daws (former Disney software engineer; VP of Technology at The Blaze) and novelist Michael Kane (After Moses) to ask what AI-generated media can and cannot bear as storytelling, and what remains properly human when prediction scales into myth-shaped output. Topics include creativity and collaboration with tools, the temptation of knee-jerk culture-war takes, and how authors and audiences might keep soul in an age of autocomplete.
