The Download Podcast, with Jill Marshall
Exploring patterns, archetypes, and stories that reveal who we are — and who we can become.
Bestselling novelist and storyworld creator Jill Marshall hosts The Download, a podcast where fiction, intuition and philosophy meet. Drawing on her books and cross-media storyworlds, Jill explores the archetypes, synchronicities, and hidden currents that shape both our personal lives and our collective stories. Each episode invites you to see creativity not just as art, but as a mirror of truth, a prophetic force, and a pathway to self-development.
Join Jill each week for downloads that illuminate the hidden patterns in story — and in you.
