Joseph Campbell was born on March 26, 1904 and to celebrate his birthday, check out the conversation in the video above with one of the great thinkers about Story, Creativity, and Life.

So lockdown mode!
For that — and his ongoing oversight of the 24 Hour Writing Scamper-A-Thons — today’s Anita Loos Award goes to Jonathan Melikisde!
