Doing random drugs in a pharmacy, reminiscing over Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, and gushing over Cormac McCarthy. Plus, the smooth, healing flavor of Asthma Cigarettes! Yes, they were a thing. 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. In this episode, our featured story is: Wireless by Rudyard Kipling.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Invasion of the Body Snatchers by Jack Finney; drinking a No Wrong Answers dry hopped lager from Meier's Creek.
Damien is reading Blood Meridian by Cormac Macarthy; drinking a Middle Aged Adult Human DIPA from Trillium Brewing.
Ryan is reading Come With Me by Ronald Malfi; drinking a Cassis Manhattan.
