Skypecast No.6 with writer and philosopher Andy Martin

This video is the sixth in what is a series of Skypecasts on this blog. Andy Martin is a writer, philosopher and Cambridge academic. His books include Stealing the Wave: The Epic Struggle Between Ken Bradshaw and Mark Foo, Beware Invisible Cows: My Search for the Soul of the Universe and the forthcoming The Boxer and The Goalkeeper: Satre vs Camus. He has also recently produced and directed an excellent short film about surfing in New York for The Independent. You can find more information about Andy on his website.

Please note that the video freezes a couple of times and also there is a short interruption in the audio for which many apologies. The content remained in tact and so I decided to put it up in any event.
