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.

Against Empires, the Audacious Free Press :Guy Aldred and Richard Carlile
The first source, "1912-richard-carlile.pdf," is a biographical pamphlet by Guy A. Aldred titled "Richard Carlile: His Battle for the Free Press," published in 1912. It details Carlile's life and his relentless struggle against government oppression and censorship in 19th-century England, highlighting his use of defiance to combat official terrorism and his championing of free speech and press. The second source, "Guy Aldred_copy.pdf," is an inventory of the Guy Aldred Papers, covering the years 1905-1964, and provides a comprehensive overview of Aldred's extensive political activities, correspondence, and publications. This inventory reveals Aldred's engagement with various radical movements, his trials for sedition, and his strong anti-war and anti-establishment stance. Collectively, these sources illuminate two significant figures in the history of British radicalism, with Aldred himself authoring a work on Carlile, underscoring a lineage of advocating for free expression and challenging established authority. The inventory further demonstrates Aldred's own commitment to these ideals through his long career as an anarchist and free speech advocate, including his support for others facing similar persecutions. Both documents showcase a persistent fight against perceived tyranny and a dedication to intellectual and political freedom.
