036 - Paul Cornell - You Don't Want A Less Powerful Mantra For Frippery Astral Travel

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 Paul Cornell, who's wondering if anyone else remembers Australian sci-fi series Phoenix Five, canonically-dubious Middle Earth-'inspired' novel Fear In Firland. the Danny Dunn book series, BBC Saturday Morning show Outa-Space!, an instructional manual for astral projection, and Terry Wogan's insistence on playing records that resolutely refused to become hits. Along the way we'll be pitching story ideas for The Magic Alex New Adventures, reciting the lyrics to Blondie's ode to Gordon Murray, revealing which popular song has less than one note in it, and trying not to think about what 'Dog Of Finland' might entail.
