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.

John Couzin's Life and Legacy (The Spirit of Revolt (Archive)
hese sources primarily discuss the Spirit of Revolt Archives, a collection of dissident literature in Glasgow, Scotland, and its "Radical Presses Clydeside" exhibition, which chronicles 100 years of autonomous protest writing. The exhibition highlights the historical significance of small pamphlets and leaflets in fostering social change, featuring examples from early anarchist publications to modern feminist and anti-war materials. The texts also spotlight key figures like Guy Aldred, a prominent anarchist and founder of Bakunin Press, and John Couzin, an activist and author whose work, including "The fight for freedom of speech on Glasgow Green, 1916–1932," underscores the enduring struggle for free expression. Together, the sources illuminate Glasgow's rich history of radical movements and the vital role of independent presses and archives in preserving their legacy.
