Slash Reading
So what I do here is dip into the glories of the humanist tradition - curiosity, imagination, humour, scepticism - by reading out bits of my favourite non-fiction books. And you can get all this lovely, weird or forgotten non-fiction on your iPod by subscribing to the podcast.
Inspired by James Bridle's Mattins. Made possible by Audioboo.
