How many podcasts give you the opportunity to hear from a genuine, real-life alchemist? The Alnwick Castle Podcast is now one of them, as in this episode, host Daniel is joined once again by Karen from the Company of Artisans to speak with 'Alchemy Jack', a performer here at the castle who has experimented with experiments to create the Philosopher's Stone, the science of medieval astronomy, the creation of vaccums, and many other fascinating pursuits that blend the scientific with the magical - in his words, he's a "serial polymath" and is full of fascinating stories.
You can see Alchemy Jack and the Company of Artisans at Alnwick Castle this October half-term.
