Download Campbell Lectures Without iTunes®

The Collected Lectures of Joseph Campbell audio series, the first six titles of which are presently available in the Apple iTunes® online store, has proven very popular with JCF Associates.

However, we regularly receive inquiries from Associates asking if it's possible to download the lectures without using the iTunes® application or visiting the Apple iTunes® store. (This can be for a variety of reasons: some Associates use an operating system which doesn't support iTunes®; some Associates live in countries in which the lectures-- or iTunes® itself-- are not yet available; yet others do not own an iPod or prefer a different digital media player.)
