Episode Summary

We can't figure out how to make X-ray vision in to a life of crime, Ryan walks out when he hears what Jess is drinking, and Colonoscopy: The Musical! These nuggets and more in this week's WatW. 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.

Episode Notes

Bar Talk (our recommendations):
