Edy Hurst's Podcast Version of... The War of the Worlds – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Greetings Earthlings!

A New Podcast Materializes, join us in the next level, the astral realm (is that right? Is astral a level?) as Edy dons the cap of the Grand Magician and invites guests on to solve their problems with the best possible method, pre-1700s magic, spells and best guesses, from literature with dubious authenticity.

Podcast Launching wherever you get podcasts.

Supported by the Lowry and Arts Council England, produced by Ellen McCleod.

Theme Tune I Put a Spell on you by Edy Hurst, written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Martians? Forget about them! Renunions with family? You better believe it. So obviously all that's left is to go into great detail on the aftermath of an invasion that changed the world, or at least the 70 mile square radius between London and Woking,

With the final chapter, Epilogue, we reach the finale of the novel, and what better way to commemorate than a trip to the site that inspired the story that launched a thousand (ish) remakes?

Plus there's a song about Germs, about time someone said something about them, and we sit down with Jonathan Ferguson, the Keeper of Firearms from the Royal Armories.

If there's one thing from Victorian Science that's aged about as well as a puddle of milk in a rain coat pocket, it's the theory of eugenics. We've talked a bit at the very start of the book about how much these ideas have been involved in H.G. Wells' writing, but to do it a little more justice, the fabulous Subhadra Das zoomed in to chat a little more about the history of these ideas, and how they still permeate through thinking and science (especially science fiction) today.

Subhadra is a broadcaster, writer, historian and curator, focussing on how ideas of race, colonialism and capitalism have affected museums and culture. Basically, the best person for us to chat with about our Martian invasion/ colonialist panic novel.

If you want to find out even more about eugenics, Subhadra's podcast Living with Eugenics has been a massively helpful and enlightening, as well as her series What Does Eugenics Mean to Us?

With the curate gone, and only the narrator home, what's the first thing he does? Drink dirty drain water and think about eating a dog? When the cat's away!

This chapter we're joined by Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominated and telly bothering double act The Delightful Sausage. Amy Gledhill & Chris Cantrill are a hilarious grotty duo that you might have seen on Harry Hill's Club Nite on C4, Late Night Mash on Dave, or Alma's Not Normal on the BBC. They're all over the stations! And with a special on BBC Radio 2! Leave some of the senses for the rest of us.

They are also a powerhouse of a live act(s) individually and together, as well as purveyors of the brilliant podcast Tiredness Kills. Amy also has a lovely podcast that is called, a lovely time, you can't write a coincidence like that.

Go see their live shows this October, more info here.

In what's been the biggest spoiler of a chapter title, and there's been a good few so far (I'm looking at you, destruction of Weybridge & Shepperton), we finally say good bye to our favourite frenemy, the Curate.

We've laughed, we've cried, and now it's time to die. But how will it happen? At the hands of the narrator?

Plus we've got a Greek-myth inspired deep dive, and the musical send off our favourite fair weakness deserves.

Thanks to Tom Burgess for all his work as the Curate. You can listen to Tom's Podcast, Into the Archives with Peter Fleming, at the link, and follow Tom on Twitter.

We're taking an intermission from the story main this episode, but fear not! Banish fear, like an exorcised ghost or a used tissue, into the bin of courage. For whilst we don't have a chapter, we've got two very special songs.

The first is an ode to carrots, as keen eyed listeners may have seen on Edy's Twitter, Instagram or Facebook

And second is a *never before heard* song from the last series of Cultural Comedy Tours inspired by a favourite object in the Grnt Museum collections.

It's an Edy only episode! We've got a song about peepholes - of course! We've got a deep dive on colonialism and its impact on land - yes please!

We're back! Book 2, Earth under Martians.

Earth (by which in the book we mean the 75 mile radius of London) is well and truly knackered under the Martians. Hampton Court? Barely any visitors. Big Ben? Forget it. London Eye? Not created yet, but if it was, it'd also be knackered.

We return to find the narrator still knocking around with that fair weakness of a man, the Curate, and what better way to celebrate that than with our beloved fair weakness, Tom Burgess?

He's returned as the Curate and also has read through the chapter with us adding asides.

We've also got a short little song for all recovering emos out there, and a deep dive on the many shapes and forms the curate or a religious figure has taken in some of the numerous adaptations.

We're back! Tell a friend! Tell an enemy! Tell an stranger!

Set you calendar for Wednesday 28th July, where chapter one is going to be dropping!
