A journey through the minds that populate the planet and may populate the universe beyond.
An hour of joy and curiosity with the presenter of the multi award winning Infinite Monkey Cage. Expect stories of chimpanzees and astronauts, of star light and falcons. We are the neurodiversity of the universe, a place of many minds and many imaginations.
In his books, such as The Importance of Being Interested and Normally Weird…Weirdly Normal, Robin has looked at the psychological and the astronomical, engaging with artists and astrophysicists. This new show is a celebration of our possibilities in a time when we have given too many platforms to the mean and the bullying, let us elevate those who strive for beauty and camaraderie.
With Professor Brian Cox, Robin has presented over two hundred episodes of the Infinite Monkey Cage and toured the arenas of the world. He has won awards for his books, his comedy and his science communication. If you have never seen him before, expect fireworks and undiluted passion.
Presented by The Cosmic Shambles Network
