This week, Mike speaks with Wayne Telford, a palaeontologist who has written two novels surrounding 19th century London; A Light In The Mist, which follows a young Dr Jekyll while the second novel (Scarcrow) has a different protagonist surrounding similar events from another perspective.
Although they discuss Wayne’s books, the creative process and what made Wayne decide to create these fantastic works, they delve deep into individualism and the idea of good vs evil, as well as life’s purpose, morality, the wealth divide, societal issues and so much more, so if you aren’t interested in the books, this is a great chat about the human condition (and we’re sure you’ll be more intrigued by the books after the chat anyway)!
Wayne wants to spread a message of hope, telling everyone & anyone to follow their calling, despite what others may say, as you can change the world, if you have the dedication to do so.
Next week, Mike & Wayne chat about palaeontology, including dinosaurs, fossils, mass extinction events, giant insects that rules the earth, some of the work Wayne has done at university (including going to sites discovering dinosaur remains with some flesh still attached) and about evolutionary life in general, so it’s one not to miss!
