EnglishWhat Is the "Jung in the World" Podcast on jungchicago.org?
Updated
"Jung in the World" is the podcast published by the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago on jungchicago.org. It sits alongside the institute's blog posts, live courses, and events as one of its public programs, and it has its own subscription page on the site. If you want to follow Jungian ideas applied to present-day questions in audio form, this is the institute's main podcast offering; if you need clinical training or a structured reading course, the site's other programs are the better fit.
Where the podcast fits on the site
The institute organizes its public-facing material into a few recurring categories. The podcast is one of them, listed next to written and live formats:
- Podcast Episodes
- Blog Posts
- Upcoming Live Courses & Events
That grouping matters for choosing how to engage. The podcast is the on-demand, listen-anytime option. Blog posts serve readers who prefer text. Live courses and events are scheduled and time-bound.
What the episodes cover
The podcast is framed around Jungian psychology and its relation to contemporary life — the "in the world" part of the name signals that the material connects analytical psychology to current issues rather than staying purely historical or theoretical.
The site also shows how closely the podcast can tie into the institute's other programming. One listing on the page reads:
Jung in the World has Big News September 9, 2026
That kind of announcement indicates the podcast is an active, updated channel rather than an archived series, and that it can carry news about the institute itself, not only episode content.
How to subscribe
The site provides a dedicated subscription page for the podcast:
- URL: https://jungchicago.org/subscribe-to-podcast/
- Page label: "Subscribe"
Use that page as the entry point. Subscribing is the action the site itself directs listeners toward; the mechanics of which podcast app or feed you end up using are handled through that page rather than described here.
Is it the right resource for you?
| If you want to… | The podcast is… |
|---|---|
| Get an accessible, audio introduction to Jungian thinking | A reasonable starting point |
| Hear Jungian ideas connected to current events and culture | Well matched — that is the stated framing |
| Follow institute news and announcements | Useful, since updates appear in the episode listings |
| Complete formal analytical psychology training | Not sufficient on its own — look at the institute's training and live courses |
| Work through texts like The Red Book in depth | Better served by the reading groups, such as the sessions on "The Magician" and "The Scrutinies," or the Liber Secundus course |
A practical way to decide: listen to one or two episodes first. If the discussion style and level suit you, subscribe through the podcast page and treat it as ongoing background. If you find you want guided, text-based study, move to the live courses and reading groups instead — the podcast and those programs are complementary, not substitutes.
