Jess goes gamer with bird solitaire, gets a new ice cube tray, and suffers from ham rage! Ryan and Damien are here, too, but it's really the Jess Show. Plus, lead poisoning?! 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: The Wind in the Woods by Bessie Kyffin-Taylor.

Damien is reading Spin A Black Yarn by Josh Malerman; drinking Navigator Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Ryan is reading "The Engine at Heartspring's Center" by Roger Zelazny; drinking the Balvenie 15 Carribean cask.
