Our next proper episode, where we discuss “The Wild, Wild West” (in front of a live audience!), will be up next Monday. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this special preview of Strangely’s other podcast, a chapter-a-week audiobook called Pochemancier. It’s like our very own backdoor pilot!

Travel with us to the misty streets of post-Jack the Ripper London, for the surprisingly sex worker-positive take on Victorian crime-solving with the BBC’s “Ripper Street” (2012). Come find out who’s a brilliant inventor, who’s been dressed as Jack, and who has a leaning to smut.

A special “ketchup” episode! Not the usual massive meal of media mumblings, No! This is a short chat featuring Sarah’s thoughts on the first two seasons of NCIS. Strangely has questions.
