1 Listener

Nothing is quite as it seems this week as presenter, writer and podcaster Dallas Campbell joins us to talk about Ken Campbell's mind-bending series Reality on the Rocks. Along the way we talk about Dallas' career trajectory from actor to science presenter; the mad genius of Ken Campbell; and what it's like to dive in Mexico City's sewer system - an anecdote that's not for those of a weak disposition. Contains very occasional bad language.

Powers of Ten - with David Dugan

This time, Kate and Alex are joined by science TV royalty as they chat to the multi-award-winning filmmaker and chairman of Windfall Films, David Dugan. On the menu for discussion, the 1977 short film Powers of Ten.
