Episode 013—Somerville Out There (feat. Tyler Collins)
We ran the numbers and if you NepTUNE in this week you can bet Uranus that you'll have a good time. We're learning about mathematician, astronomer and 10 pound note model Mary Somerville from actor, musician, friend-of-the-pod and 'Honorary Scot': Tyler Collins.
Our lovely guest, Tyler Collins

More on Tyler:
Born and raised in Anchorage Alaska, Tyler was awarded a scholarship to attend Interlochen Arts Academy at 16, and landed a spot at Royal Scottish at 18. Since graduating (with Adam) in 2010 he’s appeared in commercials for KFC, IRN BRU and STV, Scottish indie feature “Where Do We Go From Here?” on TV in Outlander, River City, and currently as ‘Seaweed’ in Swashbuckle on the Cbeebies’ channel. Voice over clients include Lego, Adidas, Spotify, Warhammer, and as Dante in the UK dub of Netflix show, Ridley Jones (along with Adam). American listeners might know his voice from Claritin commercials, and Scottish listeners might know his name from news articles such as “Hen Broon gets deported” from 5 years ago when the Scottish Creative community rallied in support of Tyler’s right to live and work in Scotland.
Tyler has also just completed a run at The Globe with CBEEBIES PRESENTS: AS YOU LIKE IT. He played the role of Oliver and it will be on BBCiplayer next spring!
