We go dark on executions through the ages (and our top picks in film and books), chat canned cocktails and capital punishment, and say hey, like, so much. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're dissecting our third book in the series ‘Promethean Horrors: Classic Tales of Mad Science.’ In this episode, our featured story is: The Secret of the Scaffold by Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching Reservation Dogs (2021; TV series); drinking Hochstadter's Slow & Low canned old fashioneds.
Damien is watching NOPE (2022, dir. Jordan Peele); drinking Mastic Tears mastiha liqueur.
Ryan is reading The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, four-volume set; drinking the Glenlivet 12yr.
