Hi folks, Ken here! We had a minor medical emergency this past week - nothing to worry about, everyone is fine, but it did prevent podcast recording. So instead, we have the second chapter of the penny dreadful Varney the Vampire. You may remember chapter one from last October.

We hope to be back next week with a regular Antiques Freaks episode. Thanks so much for listening, and enjoy!
