13.20 – MU Podcast

Summary: Author Clark Strand joins us this week with his new book 'Waking Up to the Dark'. Strand investigates our relationship with literal darkness and a world before electricity, when there was a rhythm to life that followed the sun’s rising and setting. He offers a unique insight into what can be found when we pull the plug on our billion-watt culture. We also feature the dopamine loop of modern technological addiction and the mysterious cases of vanishing houses in Suffolk in our Plus+ extension.
