The year is the early nineties. Which is roughly as far away as it is to 2050. so it is a long time ago if you think about it.

The early nineties, for those not accustomed, was a place where you would either bash or be bashed. It was a very binary landscape and it would take one hero, Cyberboi, to break this cycle and lead us proudly into the new frontier of the analogue millennium. 

The Three discuss the rare ability to enter people's dreams and manipulate their subconscious. Their skills have made them a hot commodity in the world of philosophy and academia but has also cost them everything they love. The Three get a chance at redemption when they are offered a seemingly impossible task: identify a brand with seemingly no logo, no identity, and no status. If they succeed, it will be the perfect episode, but a dangerous, many-faced enemy anticipates The Three's every move. 

The Three investigate the movement of information and how it explores our vacuoles as a method of transit. 

Can we bend information by spotting it, trapping it, and limiting it to a function that is more submissive and cute?

Or does information Power-Bottom us into sloganistic, slavish, ersatz sandwichboard catwalk models? 

Well, lets find out then....

We have all met many buildings in our time. 

But have you ever considered that it is in fact the building encountering you? 

These structures have always been there, etched into a psychic agreement with the movement of aphoristic non-linear sediment. 

Your house drinks you. Water it well. 

When you speak, do you even think or what?

In the final moments of your life, is it best to keep it quiet, especially if you're in public?

This week, and in perpetuity, MS, GS & JJH will investigate the caverns between thought and speech. 

Join us for the first of many gentle, soothing, and delightfully prosaic inquiries into pure, rock bottom NOWT. 

Idris Fotheringay Elba was fortunate enough to be born in the second half of the 20th century. 

A self-made man, he has forged a long and consistent career of playing mute heartthrobs, anabolic detectives and duplicitous criminals. 

All of which amazingly came naturally to this humble Disc Jockey from the mean streets of Dagenham. 

Catch Big Driis in the forthcoming Amazon Prime reboot of Peak Practice

Where he plays a maverick GP in Halifax in a classic fish out of water caper, arriving on all streaming platforms this Autumn. 

Can't wait!

Everyone knows about Mark Rothko, but not everyone knows everything about Mark Rothko. Today I present an investigative deep-dive through his tragic 'suicide' and into his origins as a young labourer sweating the coffee shops of New York for coin and inspiration.

Little did he know (or did he?) that the plastic claws of this world were striving to imitate him; and he was watched from afar by eyes less kind than his own. Join me today, with guest anchor Ed Harris, to explore that frightfully cleansed voidscape that is, was, and will be Mark Rothko.

All the way from working backstage on The Golden Girls to becoming our Golden Girl. 

Take a journey with Whoopi Goldberg (and I) as, hand in hand, we delve deep into her upbringing on the charred sandcoasts of Africa; mining the juiciest nuggets form her latest and most comprehensive biography yet: 'The Wand of the Wallow and the Call of the Star Guns. 

I have delivered this documentary ahead of schedule, as it makes sense for me to financially exploit the current increase in listenership due to worldwide panic and paranoia. 

You're welcome.

Soren Kierkegaard stars as a sleek young executive in old Copenhagen, and a single guy who is fanatically, even ecstatically, addicted to philosophy. It's an addiction that is strip-mining his personality of all recognisable human impulses. He is living in a hell that he has furnished and maintained himself, but it was made by willful moral incest. A clue to this lies in his desperately unhappy screwup of a father, Samuel, played by Carey Mulligan. To Kierkegaard's dismay, Samuel announces he is going to be crashing at his bachelor pad while following his dream of being a wool merchant, cramping his style and annoying the hell out of him.

Step inside the mind of a fist made of knotted worms. Hold onto your bloomer sleeves, this is going to get mucky!
