  • Rambleland #16 - Dave Skillington
    Jun 3 2021
    Dave is the owner and founder of Float Cork, a floatation therapy clinic on the outskirts of Cork City. There's a particularly special reason for this podcast however. Float Cork has agreed to take on the glorious honour of sponsoring this very podcast.

    I didn't pop the question until after the podcast was over so just this episode took place under the pretence that this was just another run-of-the-mill episode of me connecting with a bright and intelligent individual. That pretence did not disappoint. We talk all things floating, alternative medicine and running a business. This is one not to be missed.

    0:00 Intro & vlog
    15:00 Knowledge for first time floaters
    27:00 Discussion of medical studies on floating. Citations as follows:
