What are you reading this month? Here's our July #shelfie:
📕 Meet the Neighbors –Steven A Benner
📘 Little Book of Eclipses – @tomkerss & @RyanJFrench
📗 The Beauty of Falling– Claudia de Rham
📙 Space Journal: Art, Science & Cosmic Exploration @dallascampbell#sundayshelfie
Next to the stage is Dallas Campbell (@dallascampbell), TV presenter and author, who still has trauma from diving into a Mexican sewer. His one minute wonder if Amazing Stories, full of amazing stories (!) and predictions of the future - they predicted robots, solar panels. But, as Dallas explains, it also helped BUILD the future.
How do we make things real? It begins with the imagination. Inventors began by reading magazines and watching movies, and that's what can inspire the future.
Treat your imagination like a muscle and exercise it. Watch movies, draw, read... Whatever inspires you, go and do it.
On Sunday we enjoyed a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos across centuries and cultures with broadcaster and collector Dallas Campbell.
Thank you to everyone for coming, and for Dallas for such a fascinating event!

If you’re in striking distance of York on SUNDAY 31st (this Sunday) I’ll be at the Tempest Anderson Hall in the Yorkshire museum at 3:30pm. I’ll be talking about my new book, Space Journal. An archeological dig into the margins of space history. I’d love you to come along!
Loved The Christophers (dir Steven Soderbergh - Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel are fab but for me the standout performance was the cameo by old chum @dallascampbell, author of Space Journal!
Enjoy a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos across centuries and cultures with broadcaster and collector @dallascampbell.

🎤 I’m asking for a little bit of help with freelance life.
Do you know anyone who runs a festival or one off events eg in book shops who needs a professional interviewer?
Or anyone who might benefit from an audio podcast, with professional interviewing, production & editing?
