Sixty Thousand
By Darren Saunders
You have sixty thousand neurones between your ears and your brain, and they’re working overtime with all the noise of the world right now.
So why not give them a rest, and give them something nice to work with. Give them a journey to a calmer space with these quietly produced pieces. Give them mindfulness and calm.
Give them Sixty Thousand.
Remember; look after your mind and the rest will fall into place.

2020 was a pretty shabby year, societally speaking, but its podcast output was strong. Here I talk about a few that resonated with me, in the hope that you’ll go and look them up.
