Looks Unfamiliar

102 - Genevieve Jenner - I Can't Be Loyal, There's Puppets


Listen Later

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.

Joining Tim this time is author Genevieve Jenner, who's flipping between college radio stations in the hope of alighting on KOMO children's show Boomerang, hastily cancelled sitcom Over The Top, Thorazine Shuffle by Bongos Bass And Bob, early internet dating-themed romcom Bossa Nova, Wizard's Hall by Jane Yolen and Coca-Cola's attempt at launching a fizzy drink for Generation X OK Soda. Along the way we'll be finding out the difference between 'Muppets' and 'The Muppets', debating how many early nineties lo-fi techno-rock propaganda bands got their own tie-in carbonated drink, and contemplating Richard Herring's unwitting influence on the rise of dating apps.

You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/. You can also find Genevieve on Looks Unfamiliar talking about The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein, What A Way To Go! and Fruitopia here, and on The Golden Age Of Children's TV talking about Faerie Tale Theatre here.

If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here. Please note that delivering one with an OK Soda baseball cap stuffed inside it as a 'prize' is neither funny nor... funny.
