In this, what critics are already calling the “third episode”, Colin Hoult and Pete Heat dredge up some more gleaming nuggets of gold from among the silt that is human existence.
Pete brings an arguably-too-vague subject to the table: The Universe itself. More specifically, the experience of being humbled by its infinite majesty, as presented to us in those photos that came out recently (https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-missions/james-webb-space-telescope-images/), or broken down for us into bite-size chunks by people like professional Pete Heat lookalike Brian Cox.
Colin tells of an amazing theatrical experience that inspired his own work, a frankly insane-sounding piece by the Uninvited Guests ( https://www.uninvited-guests.net/projects/it-is-like-it-ought-to-be-a-pastoral )
In a show that covers gorillas, The Simpsons, speed awareness tests and the imminent transformation of all life forms into crabs, this is truly, without doubt, an episode of a podcast. This podcast.
