The Òrga Spiral Podcasts
Where do the rigid rules of science and the fluid beauty of language converge? Welcome to The Òrga Spiral Podcasts, a journey into the hidden patterns that connect our universe with radical history, poetry and geopolitics
We liken ourselves to the poetry in a double helix and the narrative arc of a scientific discovery. Each episode, we follow the graceful curve of the golden spiral—a shape found in galaxies, hurricanes, and sunflowers, collapsing empires—to uncover the profound links between seemingly distant worlds. How does the Fibonacci sequence structure a sonnet? What can the grammar of DNA teach us about the stories we tell? Such is the nature of our quest. Though much more expansive.
This is for the curious minds who find equal wonder in a physics equation and a perfectly crafted metaphor. For those who believe that to truly understand our world, you cannot separate the logic of science from the art of its expression.
Join us as we turn the fundamental questions of existence, from the quantum to the cultural, and discover the beautiful, intricate design that binds it all together.

Helen Crawfurd- the Fearless Organiser,
The year is 1915. The air in Glasgow is thick with smoke and righteous fury. At its centre stands Helen Crawfurd, a force of nature carved from grit and principle. Her face, sharp and intelligent, is alight with a fire that no oppressive government could ever extinguish. This is not a woman of gentle persuasion; she is a general in the battle for justice.
Her eyes, piercing and unwavering, hold the suffering of the poorhouse mothers and the determined resolve of the rent striker. She stands on a soapbox or a street corner, her frame perhaps slight but her presence immense, commanding a crowd of thousands with a voice that cracks like a whip against the injustices of the powerful. You can almost hear it—rasping with passion, ringing with absolute conviction. She is surrounded by the energy of the movement, yet singularly focused, a pillar of unshakeable belief in a world remade for the working class. This is Helen Crawfurd: the incendiary orator, the fearless organiser, the very conscience of the Red Clydeside.
