If You Can Recognise Who Is, Or Was, Dr Starr - I Will Consider You Qualified For The Position John Rain and I discuss Asylum. The perils and benefits of committing to a Halloween costume. Behind the paywall, I’ve been busy in the British Library’s image catalogues.

Happy Easter to you all! Please do enjoy my latest Substack where I have curated a terrifying selection of Victorian Easter cards for you!
You should become a free subscriber maybe?

Another one from much warmer times, recording 'What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow' in North Carolina. A welcome reminder that spring will always come again.

I hope you’re staying bundled up out there and enjoying time with loved ones.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”

Thank you for the reminder of the time Jason Manford issued a notes apology because his tribute to Brucie being under the Palladium unintentionally sounded like he is in Hell.
