  • Sybil Leek Part Two
    Our journey into the life of one of the world's most famous modern witches continues as we discuss her travels to America, her poorly-reviewed foray into ghost hunting, her apparent discomfort with sons and math, and her very good boy with very hot feet. Later, Brett tells us what he knows about Madonna, including how to perform divination with her coffee table book, and whether her ex-husband is a resident of Flavortown.
