I Wish My Life Were Like a Musical

A journey through the minds that populate the planet and may populate the universe beyond. An hour of joy and curiosity with the presenter of the multi award-winning Infinite Monkey Cage. Expect stories of chimpanzees and astronauts, of starlight and falcons. We are the neurodiversity of the universe, a place of many minds and many imaginations. This new show is a celebration of our possibilities in a time when we've given too many platforms to the mean and the bullying, let us elevate those who strive for beauty and camaraderie.
