Acclaimed storyteller and author MARTIN SHAW invites us into his study where he freewheels his ferocious imagination into everything he's learnt about life over half a century. He asks: how do we become a real human being? Using myth, storytelling and his own unique form of philosophizing, Shaw reveals what he calls 'archaic technologies' and shows how we can use them today. Each episode is essentially an improvisation, Martin having half a notion of where it may go but allowing imagination full reign as we process. The themes create themselves as he speaks.
