Antiques Freaks

We chat with our friend Hannah Haverkamp about historical costume design, Bridgerton, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Cinderella 2015, Beauty and the Beast 2017, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and the obligatory corset scene in every historical film ever.

Check out Hannah's illustration and costume design work on her official site: https://www.hjhaverkamp.com/

Carnacki the Ghost-Finder is back for revenge in his least-safe-for-work adventure yet! We are joined once again by our friends Paris and Chris from the Terrible Book Club podcast, here to help us wrestle this supernatural Sherlock Holmes rip-off into submission.

Mid-century vintage kitsch is back with a vengeance, and Sillisculpts take us on our silliest journey yet!

Join the Antiques Freaks for a casual chat about contemporary collectible sculpture!

We return to the anonymous Victorian authority on fashion to hear his thoughts concerning the indispensable article of menswear: shirts. If we learn nothing else from this episode, know this - NO DICKEYS!

Do you love mid-century kitsch but wish it had more spontaneous combustion? Do you want your children's nightmares themed for the holiday season? Or were you just hoping to find a toy made almost entirely of sharp edges? We've got you covered with Knee-Hugger Elves, the bizarre precursor to Elf-on-a-Shelf!

'Tis the season for toys! Adam (@liladam87) joins the Antiques Freaks to chat about action figure collecting, including Power Rangers, Transformers, Star Wars, whether or not Funko! Pops count as action figures, the bizarre horror of the Toybiz Famous Cover Series Aunt May Figure, and the importance of treating retail workers with dignity and kindness.

We are joined by musician extraordinaire and upcycling artist Andrew C. Marshall for a casual chat about antiques, irony, controversial musical tastes, watch repair, re-purposed pump organs, Victorian mourning jewelry, and what to do with your surplus pianos! Listen to Andrew's latest album Terrestrial Radio on Spotify and check out his woodworking and music on instagram (@andrew_c_marshall) and his website: www.andrewcmarshall.com

A listener suggestion brings us to Toleware! Painted tin from the Pennsylvania Dutch, amongst others, now featuring bonus controversy over the definition of folk art!

Esteemed author A Lounger wears many hats, but a haberdasher he is decidedly not.
