episode 49: #49 "Some Crystal Hating Slaphead": Marek Larwood and the Sandown Clown
I talk to comedian Marek Larwood, who explores the legend of the Sandown Clown—a seven-foot-tall robotic alien clown that has become part of the Isle of Wight's peculiar heritage.
I find out that he has an uncomfortable relationship with some elements of the paranormal, in ways you simply cannot predict.
Marek runs the Cool Dudes Walking Club as a way to mix his love of the extrodinary, walking and finding a way to reduce his tax bill.
Our conversation turns introspective, pondering the transitions in life that lead us from the chaos of the city to the serenity of the boundless countryside. We touch on time, existence, and those mysterious glimmers of synchronicity that sometimes pierce our skepticism.
