This book contains a collection of transcripts of podcasts I've recorded during the Covid lockdown period. It's a collection of stories I've written, recounts of my travels and other life's experiences, science topics that I find interesting, and the occasional opinion about the state of the world. It's a real mixed bag, with something for everyone. The podcasts can be heard online, but this book version gives the reader time to ponder over the challenging science topics I talk about, and to enjoy the photos of my travels and other adventures. I hope this book brings you interest and pleasure.
