What are ghosts? Will Alfie knock over a bunch of cymbals? Alex talks about how he was a king’s poop-collector in a past life and we also debate the merit of having your soul outside your body in physical form ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This episode, we're reading The Northern Lights (Golden Compass) by Phillip Pullman and Zoo City by Lauren Beukes. We're joined by two very excellent guests: Courtney Fry, who writes for Pedestrian, covering music, food, and pets, and their weekly RuPaul's Drag Race recaps (you can also find her words in the SMH's album reviews) and Alfie, who is a dog and doesn't know how to read or write but is v cute.   

Also half the episode is missing (sorry)
