Description
Algal Blooms travels through several dimensions to find out more about the mysterious beauty of poo. Along the way he hears the voice of John Todd, who constructs living machines and Elaine Ingham, soil microbiologist.
He listens to Burnt Sage for her great wisdom.
And he reads the saucy botanical poetry of Erasmus Darwin, a brilliant man who produced an early theory of evolution long before his grandson did.
Snippets of John Todd are taken from the doco, 'Ecological Design: Inventing the Future'
Snippets of Ingham from the wonderful 'Symphony of Soil' doco.
