Dear Alan Cumming fans, if you can't get enough of Alan, we have a new show we think you'll love. 

Alan Cumming stars in SOLAR alongside Stephanie Beatriz, Academy Award winner Helen Hunt and Jonathan Bangs, in a journey to the heart of the solarsystem that explores the vastness of the human spirit. Disconnected from Earth and trapped on separate parts of their spacecraft, crew members must fight for survival following a disaster on board the ill-fated Aethon, a manned solarresearch probe sent to explore temporal distortion around the sun. As painful memories, forgotten dreams, technological challenges and blunt realities collide, they must work together to keep their hope alive in the face of growing darkness. 

SOLAR is a CurtCo Media production in association with WorkHouse Media. Created by Chris Porter. Directed by Jenny Curtis and Chris Porter.

Today’s episode is an incredibly special episode - and not our usual fare either.

Our guest today is the fabulous Chris Sweeney, filmmaker and podcaster, and host of the fantastic Homo Sapiens, alongside our very own Mr C. To mark Alan’s final episodes as host of Homo sapiens we have collaborated, and so what you’re about to hear is the first of a two part Alan Cumming’s Shelves x Homo Sapiens mash up, with Alan and Chris chatting all about podcasting, their time together on Homo sapiens, and how they first started working together.

After you have listened to this episode, Part One, you need to head over to the Homo Sapiens feed/channel wherever you get your podcasts, and listen to Part Two, which is cleverly also out now. You should give them a follow too if you haven’t already, because the show is absolutely fantastic, with interviews with guests such as Patti Smith, Michael Stipe, and Mel C just to name a few!!

You can also follow them on instagram @homosapiens

You can listen to Part Two Here (or head over to the Homo Sapiens Page)

In Alan Cumming's house you'll find some shelves. Well, lots of shelves in fact, and on these shelves are curiosities, rarities, and oddities, that Alan has collected throughout his varied and colourful career. Artefacts if you will from the museum of Alan's life. In each episode of this podcast Alan reaches for one of these items, to tell the story behind it, ruminating on the memories it brings up. 

However, Alan does not do this alone. His guests range from Cyndi Lauper and a pair of white leather gloves to Geri Halliwell and (lots and lots of) Spice Girls merch, and even Sir Ian McKellen and a hemp dog collar. We've also got Monica Lewinsky and a Creative Coalition Award, Fay Ripley and a Red Carpet Photo, and Jane Horrocks and a polaroid from Second Best. 

Not all guests will be famous though. Alan's life has taken many a twist and turn, and so there will be guests you don’t know yet, but their stories are brilliant.
