About this listen

 I’m Bob in the shed & I’m the host of Something For Your Mind. What’s the show about? It’s about science & philosophy. What’s out there & how do we explore it. It’s about archaeology & history. Let’s learn from it, so we don’t repeat it. It’s about art because pretty things can be nice distractions sometimes. It’s about nature. How are we all connected? It’s about esoterica. Ancient religions & supernatural stories are so old, they don’t make any sense to us today. We struggle to translate what little writing we have. And finally, it’s about having fun, because that’s the whole pointBob in the shed Science
