Robin Ince is back with his acclaimed show. This time he's talking about love and books.

Writer, broadcaster, and comedian Robin Ince is back with his acclaimed series. This time he's talking about love, books, and his love of books.

In the first of his two-part series Robin talks about love, books, and his love of books. He explores how we sometimes find it difficult to express our love and shares stories of the delight he's experienced on his travels. It is also a cautionary tale, warning of the dangers of not sharing praise and admiration before it's too late. 

Escaping the confines of The Infinite Monkey Cage, comedian Robin Ince takes us on a journey through his Reality Tunnel in his second two-part stand-up series, recorded specially for Radio 4.

For over 30 years Robin Ince has been discharging fascinating thoughts, unusual knowledge, and infectious excitement into the universe. Over this time, these disparate, dusty specs of information have steadily clumped together and formed into an entity known as the 'Reality Tunnel'.
 
Previously, Robin's live appearances have only been visible to those astute enough to be tracking his trajectory; those with a keen enough eye to catch a fleeting glimpse of him as he twinkles through their orbit, emitting his ideas, shedding light on the human condition, before vanishing again into the distance. But now, using specialist recording tools and fancy editing, this phenomenon has been captured in high resolution audio for all to hear. 

Praise for series 1

- “It is a thing of beauty and joy and a thing for me amid an ocean of things that aren't!”
- “it’s good to know I'm not the only one with those 'thoughts'”
