Time to get the party re-started! Welcome to Season 2, Episode 1. Put your mind goggles on as we plunge straight back into the eccentric audio adventure with interviews, surreal spoken word short fiction and perilous poetry. It’s like the One Show – but weird.
In this episode we have an interview with the author John Higgs. He’s written about Timothy Leary, The KLF, Watling Street and now turns his attention to the 21st Century. We chatted about his latest book, The Future Starts Here, which came out earlier this month. It’s an uplifting discussion about where we are and where we might be heading. You can find out more about John here: https://johnhiggs.com/ and here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Higgs/e/B0086FBMYE
Further to the interview we also feature the work of two exciting poets. Aqeel Parvez is from Bradford and has recently had his debut collection, The Streetlights Are Beckoning Nirvana, published by Analogue Submissions Press.

Imogen Cassels is a poet living in Cambridge. You can buy her poetry pamphlet, Arcades, here: https://sadpresspoetry.com/our-books/ . Find out more about Imogen on Twitter here: https://sadpresspoetry.com/our-books/
We also have the return of Joe Hayden’s cupboard. More missives from the madcap. Find out what he’s been brewing whilst we’ve been away!
Yes this is a real humdinger of a show. Make sure you are wearing something that can be wiped clean.
