We wrap up our season covering The Night Wire and Other Tales of Weird Media by interviewing the volume's editor, Aaron Worth. S5 throwbacks, library hacking, and mountains of cocaine – this one's got 'em all! Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're transmitting our sixth book in the collection, ‘The Night Wire: And Other Tales of Weird Media,’ edited by Aaron Worth.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Monica by Daniel Clowes; drinking Town Branch (again) in a hot toddy.
Damien is reading Daphne by Josh Malerman; drinking Hibiki Japanese Harmony blended whisky.
Ryan is watching The Creator (2023; dir. Gareth Edwards); drinking Aberfeldy 16.
Aaron is reading various Golden Age of Detection tales featuring Reggie Fortune by H.C Bailey; drinking black tea.
Up next: Season 7! Or maybe a bonus episode?! Follow us on Instagram for an exclusive heads up.
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
