Kyle from New Jersey is my guest this episode, with a dream that begins with crashing a school bus while overtaking slower cars, and ends with a mesmerising encounter with a smiling fish at a fish hatchery. No-one turns up to help Kyle when the bus he’s driving crashes into a telephone pole, so he […]
As above, so below. As within, so without. What do these ancient sayings mean to you? Legend has it that Hermes Trismegistus inscribed these words, in Phoenician, on The Emerald Tablet, somewhere between 1,200 and 38,000 years ago. Yes, you did read those dates correctly. No, no-one knows where the tablet is now, or whether […]
I have just watched a rather self-satisfied dog scare away a noisy garbage truck, as only he knows how – a volley of gruff barking and a telepathic “get off my patch or else” warning.

“I hear there’s a giant iceberg heading your way,” said Phyllis, sitting comfortably in Texas, chatting over skype. “Iceberg?” I queried, baffled. Phyllis is my guest on this Friday’s podcast, and we were warming up to record the show while Michael was setting the recording levels. Also warming up, I now know, is a 19 […]
