Looks Unfamiliar

113 - Joanne Sheppard - A Speaking Wall For Our Times


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 book reviewer Joanne Sheppard, who's putting a little bit in to get a little bit out of remembering 'keep fit'-themed magazine show Go For It!, Frank Muir's What-A-Mess, My Little Pony ancestor My Pretty Pony, John Carradine's The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, The Water Babies, The Magnificent Race, Amazon Adventure by Willard Price and Snapper Crocodiles. Along the way we'll be finding out how bending up and down while holding the back of a chair can make you the next Steve Ovett, meeting Frank Muir 'making friends', critically evaluating The Vintage Car Cinematic Universe and assessing just how useful My Little Pony would be for hand to hand combat, as well as debating Danny Kendall's hidden influence on modern society and culture.
