Marc Salmon is joined by comedian, poet and writer Rob Auton for a conversation about creativity, comedy and finding wonder in ordinary life.
Known for his Edinburgh Fringe shows about subjects like yellow, water and time, as well as The Rob Auton Daily Podcast, Rob's latest show, Jupiter, tells the fictional story of an estate agent on Jupiter.
Together they talk about childhood, seagulls eating pigeons, crows, Buddhism, gratitude, writing, Ivor Cutler and how to hold on to a sense of wonder when the world feels overwhelming.
