Five Things #252

Sutton Hoo, May 2021

This week’s Five Things…

1. Brian Eno talks music with Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast.

2. And another podcast featuring Brian Eno but this time with the neuroscientist and author David Eagleman252. They cover a lot of ground but all centred around the plasticity and interconnectedness of our brains. A fascinating (or mind-blowing?) conversation.

3. Music writer Ted Gioia on parenting. Lots of great advice for those working with young people too.

4. Explore the deep sea right from your web browser.

5. “This morning I learned that spiders are able to produce parachutes with their silk threads that they use to sail up into the air and which allow them to travel high above the earth in the jet streams for more than 25 days.”
