It's our first album recommendation in Bar Talk (and it's a doozy), TV shows we'd haunt, the ill-fated history of family supper, and best of all – John Ritter gets a shout! Know who doesn't? Will Smith. 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: Uncle Phil on TV by J.B. Priestley.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is listening to SAVED! (2023 album) by Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter; drinking Springbrook Farms Adirondack High Rye.
Damien is reading The Far Reaches series (various authors) on Amazon Kindle Unlimited/Audible; drinking FEW American Whiskey.
Ryan is reading Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio; drinking the Talisker 10.
If you liked this week’s story, watch Stay Tuned (1992; dir. Peter Hyams) starring the late, great John Ritter.
Up next: "The Night Wire" by H.F. Arnold.
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
