Blood Sucking with Bob Curran
This week we talk with historian, author and all-round great guy Dr Bob Curran about Vampires! Yes, that's right...VAMPIRES! ...sorry, got a little excited there. Bob is the author of 'Vampires: A field guide to the Creatures that Stalk the Night', so who better to talk to about my favourite mythological beasties! We discuss the many and varied Vampires myths around the globe, as well as the origins of our favourite blood suckers.
Featured song this week is a clip from 'Act II' by the awesome Sontaran Experiment, which is to be released soon, Expect chaos! Background music from Four Tet
