EPISODE 8: WEIRDNESS WITHOUT, WEIRDNESS WITHIN

In which the ways the communities we belong to are shown to affect our sense of self and our ability to find magic, meaning and happiness in our own lives. Differences between narrow communities and those that are more open, welcoming and diverse are looked at and what makes us who we are is shown to involve more than the factual aspects of our identity – the self is shown to be preternatural.

Music by Sharron Kraus, with Nick Palmer, Nancy Wallace, Harriet Earis, Oliver Parfitt, Jenny Bliss, Neal Heppleston, Guy Whittaker and Nick Jonah Davis
