Looking Good, Feeling Great Episode 1 – What A Space Ovation!

Good evening, citizens of Earth. For this first episode our hero Bob (and a girl called Betty) journey to the moon. On the way they eat some strange peaches, take a nap, dream of a stupid horse playing party games, listen to the hooting of space owls, learn about Hydrogen and, upon arrival, attend a lunar rave where they dance to a psychedelic version of ‘Greensleeves’. Worth a listen just to find out what happens when a crowd of scientists and technicians ‘go wild’…

Join Robin The Fog as he digs up a plethora of inspirational, aspirational and instructional recordings of highly dubious vintage and embarks on a cut-and-paste odyssey that is by turns amusing, absurd and, on at least one occasion, almost unbearable.
