100 - Becky Darke - It's Not One Of Those Mr. Frosty Situations

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to.Joining Tim this time is writer Becky Darke, who’s trying to send messages from the nostalgia equivalent of the beyond to Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors, Tubby Turtle, Jim Henson's The Tale Of The Bunny Picnic, In The Garden Of Bad Things by Doug MacLeod, Bucky O'Hare and the Secret bar. Along the way we'll be assessing which bath toys are most suitable for hand to hand combat, examining the physics underpinning Cadbury's Spira, estimating how much money you can get on eBay for a decades-old combination of Matey, mud and jam, and questioning why parents apparently immediately lose the capacity to understand the syntax of swearing - and that's not even getting started on Becky's secret metal arm...You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/,If you enjoy Looks Unfamiliar, you can help to support the show by buying us a coffee here.
