THE CAUSE & THE CURE AUDIO BOOK VERSION


Well, having had a bit of unexpected extra time on my hands, (!) I’ve put it to good use and have narrated an audiobook version of The Cause & The Cure. I hope to have this available on Audible (and iTunes) soon. In the meantime, however, if anyone would like to get a copy from me direct, I’d be happy to mail out an mp3. It clocks in at just over six and a half hours in length.

The audiobook is priced at £8.00. The easiest thing would be to pay by Paypal, and the e-mail address you need to find me on there is mark@markdevlin.co.uk (If you don’t use Paypal, however, we could do things by BACS transfer. Just drop me an e-mail to arrange.)

TRUTH TRIP SOUNDCLASH, EPISODE 5 - CHARLIE FREAK



For the fifth episode in the series, we welcome back the original guest from the first show, Charlie Freak of the Freaksense TV YouTube channel, and author of the Most Important Rock Albums in Music History e-book series.

Charlie selects another eight tracks whose lyrics and sentiments resonate truth with him, and explains in great forensic detail the messages that he feels the songwriters had encoded into these pieces of art.

This is a deep conversation lasting well over two hours, and contains vitally important information for real seekers trying to make sense of this life experience. Listening to the whole show - in segments if necessary - comes highly recommended.

A video version of this show is unable to be loaded on to YouTube since that platform would ban it instantly on ‘copyright’ grounds. Charlie is therefore creating a visual version, which will be uploaded to a separate platform. Check back soon for more information on where to find that.

In the meantime, Charlie’s YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/1Canadianpeach

His book series can be accessed here:


Charlie’s first appearance in this series is here:
