Welcome to episode Two!

In this episode Palm and Amirá talk about Machi Shamans from Chile, the new findings from Steven Hawking concerning black holes, the big bang and a contest about personal mysteries. Stuart has bought a new M-Audio vocal studio set up so the sound quality is much improved from episode one, even rerecorded the intro. We will keep improving as we learn more about the world of podcasting.
