Bernard has been trying his hand at Astral Planing, but listeners - we must advise against it. Astral Planing should only be done by a trained professional (ie Magenta).

Greetings, fans of the esoteric! On Thursdays, Magenta reads from her second book, Madame Magenta and the Arcati Killer. Magenta and the Arcati Killer is a comedy detective novel told from the point of view of its eponymous heroine, a woman of flexible morality, an array of tasteful turbans, and an unfortunate case of genuine mystical powers. As it happens, Magenta's damnable abilities play little part in her day-to-day business as a psychic and medium for the North London area. Genuine esoteric insight would be more than her clients could handle, so generally-speaking she sticks to platitudes and incense to earn a living. Much to her irritation, this doesn't stop ghosts, angels and every loudmouth in the animal kingdom from interfering in her personal business. As if this wasn't troublesome enough, someone's going around bumping off London-based PSYCOWs (Psychics, Occultists, Wytches), and a dog named Bobo has just told her who's doing it. Magenta has little option but to pass the information onto her contact in the police force, Detective Inspector Eldris, before embarking on a little sleuthing of her own. In the process, she must reassure her husband Bernard that she's not having an affair with Eldris, babysit a ghost called Gaynor, and avoid the clutches of an old enemy who has recently been released from a terrorist detention centre. Will she live to tell the tale?! Yes. Yes, of course she will. Wouldn't be much of a comedy if she snuffed it.

Hello, Laurence & Lindsay here. We've got a big problem, and we need your help.

If you're listening to this on Spotify, we're asking you to stop, and switch to another podcast player.

As I'm sure most of you know, there's plenty of evidence that Spotify is a terrible company with a long history of exploiting and underpaying artists, but that's only part of why it's so bad.

It's been reported that Spotify's CEO, Daniel Ek, has recently invested millions of Euros of your subscription fees in an AI weaponry company called Helsing. This company has developed an automated target identification system, with the option to keep a human in the loop. In other words, it's machines selecting which humans to kill on the battlefield.

It's also been reported Spotify donated $150,000 to the Trump campaign, and it's recently been running ICE recruitment ads. It is a powerful force for bad.

So here's our problem. Almost half of our total listenership comes from Spotify, and the adverts that we run are how we make our money. If we just pulled our podcasts straight away, that would be a huge financial blow for us.

So we would like to urge you to listen elsewhere, on another podcast player. Lots of people recommend one called Pocket Casts, we've also heard good things about Podcast Addict. In the last month, we've had downloads from about 50 different podcast players, so there are plenty of alternatives.

We've going to take our podcasts off Spotify as soon as it becomes clear that there is a real movement to cancel Spotify subscriptions and move to other platforms, and that movement is growing.

For you, thankfully, this doesn't cost anything. Podcasts are, and will always be, free to listen to on any platform. Like we said, a lot of people seem to like Pocket Casts, and as far as we know, they're not evil. There are also a ton of others to choose from - all very accessible, and all free.

If you've ever enjoyed our podcasts, or you're about to discover them, thank you so much for listening. Let's try and do the right thing.

It's the Halloweeeeeeeen live stream! Recorded on October 31st 2025, and goodness me, what a lot of chaos there was on this one. The cocktail completely malfunctioned, and for some reason the chat decided that "FART IT!" should be the show's new catchprase. Who are we to deny them that?

The next live stream will be on Sunday November 9th at 8pm UK time (3pm ET), and you can watch it on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitch.

Magenta and Bernard are back!

It’s a new season of our chat podcast  - with a twist! Because now it’s live! And for charity!

From now on, M&B will be holding an almost-weekly live stream on YouTube, on Sundays, at 8pm UK time (3pm ET).

These live streams are a chance for fans of the esoteric to get together, have silly goofy fun, stand up for what we believe in, ask esoteric questions, denounce the government, and listen to Bernard rocking out on the guitar. 

And best of all, each week, we'll be raising money for a different charity. This time, we raised £170 for Choose Love. You can still donate to the campaign by visiting this link.

M&B's next live stream will be on SUNDAY 21st SEPTEMBER - here's the link to watch, and sign up for a reminder.
