Hi John, have you heard of this podcast, does around 11 seasons about historic revolutions, then on season 12 has a massively detailed telling of an imagined sci-fi revolution on Mars, really interesting way of doing sci-fi podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Flyer poster for the exhibition.
A photograph of a pylon in the hazy liminal distance accompanying by poetry This is a glimpse And a glance This is a stroll And a dance This is a view Of a time When transcendent Meets sublime.

Popped into the Portico Library to see The Songs The Morning Sang, a collaboration between @andrewpbrooks.bsky.social and Ian McMillan. Beautiful words and pictures in a great exhibition space. The photo of the pylon in the middle distance has a liminal quality, like Tales From The Loop.
