Damien fawns over Aubrey Plaza's serious work, Jess fills a jar with whiskey, and Ryan & D battle over how stories should be rated, but otherwise everything's mild. 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: ‘Heavy Weather: Tempestuous Tales of Stranger Climes.’ In this episode, our featured story is A Mild Attack of Locusts by Doris Lessing.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Razorblades: Vol 1 by James Tynion IV + Steve Foxe; drinking Roknar Rye w/ TJ's Ginger Beer.
Damien is watching Emily the Criminal (2022, dir. John Patton Ford); drinking High West Campfire.
Ryan is admiring the art of Francois Baranger in his Lovecraft books; drinking Loch Lomond 12 yr. Scotch.
If you liked this week’s story, go back and listen to S2E6: Leiningen vs the Ants by Carl Stephenson.
Up next: Monsoons of Death by Gerald Vance.
