Description:

You might say we’re mediums then.

This new podcast is really taking off, mainly just in my mind though. It’s like how Nathan kept taking Lee to that same shitty Chinese place she hated. We keep making content people just kind of shrug at but we keep doing it because we find it absolutely bloody hilarious. It’s Conversations with the Dead, written by Chris Boucher and aired on July 13th, 1987.

Show-notes:


5:00: Example of Freelancer
22:33: I guess this BBC article provides a broad overview of gun laws in the UK. It’s like 10 years old but probably mostly still current. And skimming Wikipedia for 3 minutes it seems like gun regulations were strengthened throughout the 20th century.
31:19: Check out Zenith, our completed Blake’s 7 podcast.
44:00: Check out Trust Your Doctor, our Doctor Who podcast.
46:44: Check out all the different permutations of the name “Turlough”
48:15: It was The Thick of It.
50:20: Wiki Quote lists the “When you have eliminated all which is impossible …” quote as coming from The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier. Quote Investigator has a pretty interesting (tldr) page detailing the history of the “Elementary, my dear Watson” quote.
51:09: Apparently this line is a reference to a 1950 movie called Sunset Boulevard.
53:15: The actual story is actually fully written out on the wiki page for The Exegesis of Phillip K. Dick. The story Dick wrote for Harlan Ellison was The Story to End All Stories for Harlan Ellison’s Anthology Dangerous Visions.
