| Liv Li & Stephanie Louie - Campbell, Myths and Masks | 13 juin 2026 | 00:54:21 | |
In this episode of Hostcast, João sits down with Liv Li and Stephanie, co-hosts of a four-part salon series on Joseph Campbell hosted on Interintellect. Together they explore why Campbell remains both a philosopher and a provocateur in the postmodern world, unpacking the durability of the hero's journey across cultures, the lesser-known heroine's journey developed by Dr. Maureen Murdoch, and the tension between ancient myth-making and a fragmented, algorithm-driven society searching for new meaning. From the role of masks as tools for authentic self-discovery to the question of whether a "third model" beyond Campbell and Murdoch is possible, this conversation weaves together psychology, mythology, pop culture, and philosophy. The fourth and final salon in their Campbell series is still open to join here: https://interintellect.com/salons/the-eternal-story-joseph-campbell-in-a-postmodern-world-episode-4 Follow our Hosts here: https://substack.com/@notesbysl https://archetypica.substack.com/ | |||
| James Cussen - Walking, Dreams and Nietzsche | 05 mai 2026 | 00:54:41 | |
In this episode of Hostcast, we sit down with James Cussen, an Interintellect host whose work centers on practical, livable philosophy. James shares how his journey into philosophy began during a difficult period in his teenage years, when reading Albert Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus gave him a sense of being understood for the first time. From there, his curiosity took him through Nietzsche, Jung, and much more. The conversation also explores how to approach reading philosophy, with James emphasizing humility, patience, and a willingness to temporarily inhabit a worldview different from your own. The episode then takes a focused look at Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, the text at the center of James's current salon series on Interintellect.

In this episode of the Hostcast, I sit down with political philosopher Adam Gjesdal to explore some of the biggest questions in political philosophy: from how we correct for our own biases, to why diversity of perspectives leads to better outcomes, to what John Stuart Mill's On Liberty can teach us about free speech and individual freedom today. We also get into Adam's own academic journey, his research on justice pluralism, and, of course, his upcoming salon series on Mill's "On Liberty". A conversation full of ideas that are as relevant now as they've ever been.

In this episode of Hostcast, we have Rania Nasis, physician, serial entrepreneur, and generalist operator who has built and advised companies across biotech, digital health, senior tech, and pediatric care. Rania shares the story of leaving medicine before ever practicing, getting hooked on startups through a business plan competition, and spending the last 12+ years navigating one of the hardest industries to innovate in: healthcare. She breaks down why the space is both deeply rewarding and brutally complicated, from misaligned stakeholder incentives to year-long sales cycles as well as what it takes to persist through all of it. She's also launching Nimble, a high-protein French-style ice cream brand hitting New York grocery stores in early April. We talked about her Atlas Shrugged book club hosted through Interintellect in New York City. Why she chose Ayn Rand's most ambitious novel, what timeless tensions it surfaces around individualism, excellence, and productive output, and what she hopes participants take away regardless of where they land politically are some of the themes explored.

Poet, critic, and Interintellect host Paul Franz joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on poetry, reading, and the enduring spirit of Romanticism. He’s editor of the journal Literary Imagination and Serpent Club, and in our conversation we trace his path into literature—from his early love of books to his life as a poet published in The New York Review of Books and an essayist for The Atlantic and The Nation. Paul shares why Romanticism matters today, how Romanticon, where he’s an editor, tackles that issue, and what it means to weave together different forms of writing (poetry, criticism, essays) within one creative life. We dive into the tension between creative writing and academic writing, and how he navigated that space. Finally, Paul reflects on his approach to salons and the art of conversation itself: an invitation to think, read, and share more deeply.
