Summary
Glastonbury's best bard and psychogeographer, Paul Weston, returns to the show to update us on his synchromystic adventures.
This episode is a bit of a special one as it serves as the isolation-era launch of his latest book, History and Myth: Boris Johnson, Henry VIIIth, Extinction Rebellion, Plague & The Return of the Middle Ages. And even more special than that, the book owes its existence in many respects to his last appearance on the podcast and the feedback it generated among the listenership.
So if people ask you what you did with your lockdown you can tell them you actually did co-author a book. Albeit accidentally.
Enjoy!

| 1:06.3 | synchromistic adventure of writing it there are extra loops and twists |
| 1:11.3 | associated with this one because history and myth began its journey into book shape |
| 1:15.0 | based on his last appearance on the show |
| 1:18.0 | which means the podcast is in the book that is launched on the podcast |
