Yesterday, I spent an hour and a half discussing strange phenomena, Forteana, and bizarre history with the esteemed Mr. Roejen Razorwire and his partner in existential crime, Lobo on their Project Archivist podcast wherein we considered, among other issues:

The best places to be a werewolf
The fact that necromancy is a bad career choice
The legal implications of condemning someone to Hell
Whether AI would bother telling us it had achieved sentience

Sometimes, reading stuff is a hassle. That’s why God invented podcasts. Have a listen at http://www.projectarchivist.com/?powerpress_pinw=2137-podcast.
