Greetings Earthlings!
A New Podcast Materializes, join us in the next level, the astral realm (is that right? Is astral a level?) as Edy dons the cap of the Grand Magician and invites guests on to solve their problems with the best possible method, pre-1700s magic, spells and best guesses, from literature with dubious authenticity.
Podcast Launching wherever you get podcasts.
Supported by the Lowry and Arts Council England, produced by Ellen McCleod.
Theme Tune I Put a Spell on you by Edy Hurst, written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Martians? Forget about them! Renunions with family? You better believe it. So obviously all that's left is to go into great detail on the aftermath of an invasion that changed the world, or at least the 70 mile square radius between London and Woking,
With the final chapter, Epilogue, we reach the finale of the novel, and what better way to commemorate than a trip to the site that inspired the story that launched a thousand (ish) remakes?
Plus there's a song about Germs, about time someone said something about them, and we sit down with Jonathan Ferguson, the Keeper of Firearms from the Royal Armories.

After a long journey, we're here, the pen-ultimate chapter of the War of the Worlds, Wreckage.
With the Martians gone the way of the Dodo, what wreckage do they leave behind? And what will our narrator find on his journey home?
Plus we have a song that became more and more like a Johnny Cash tribute the more i wrote it, but with the mental breakdown on the record, as we think about what would be like to be the last man left alive.

They live in the soil, they live in the air, they'll more or less live anywhere, it's germs!
As we've heard in the last chapter, those invisible assailants have done us a big kindness in the War of the Worlds, but are they always friendly tiny buds helping us out? If 2020 - now have shown us anything, no!
Intentions of the forces of nature aside, in a special none chapter episode, Edy sits down to speak with Historian, Curator and Author Kristen Hussey about the history of germ theory, and what H.G. Wells' would have known whilst writing the novel.
Kristen is author of 'Imperial Bodies in London:Empire, Mobility, and the Making of British Medicine, 1880–1914' a Whitfield prize winning book focussing on the science and political climate at the time of these discoveries, so the perfect guest for an expert insight.

Chapter 8! Dead London!
Or should it be, dead? London? Or maybe dead! London. As you'll see, there's a bit of death, but is it the metaphorically beating heart of Victorian Englands beloved capital, or is it the as of yet un-identified hearts of the Martian invasion? There's only one way to find out!*
Basically, there's a lot happening narratively, so what better excuse to have a lot happening on the guest list hey?
We're joined, by not one! Not four! but three guests from the Glasgow comedy collective CHUNKS, a wild night of experimental comedy exhibited in 3 minute bits.

We're back! The Martians have gone no where! But whose this lurking around Putney Hill? Is it an old friend who we shared a meal with and gave us expert advice on looking for biscuits? I won't insult your ignorance with such leading questions.
Alongside the ropiest cockernee accent this side of Dick Van Dyke, we're joined by the polymath comedian, producer and podcast Jack Evans to finally put to rest the age old question "is a sewer with a Nintendo Switch better than an Orwellian Dystopia?"
