The podcast is hosted by Mark Vernon, in conversation with individuals who have attended the festival. The aim is to develop a sense of the various ways in which realising is done, as people offer reflections on ideas, experiences, books and activities. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-realisation-festival-podcast-7072015 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-realisation-festival-podcast-7072015.md ## Episodes - [Local myths transform lives and how they do it.
