103 - Rose Ruane - By Leaves, About Leaves, Maybe Not For Leaves

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 artist and author Rose Ruane, who's applying liberal splashes of pink paint to liven up her recollections of plush toy dog Poochie, leaf-based animation Windfalls, Charmkins, Beautiful Sunday stationery, Haunted Children and The Ghost Within by Alison Prince and Tinkerbell Cosmetics. Along the way we'll be revealing the secret ink-based code of penpal hierarchy, reluctantly meeting a forgotten terrifying TV Clown, debating which members of The Get Along Gang vote Conservative and revisiting The Manic Street Preachers' early 'Poochie' phase. Plus there's also a mystery television drama about an unlikely romance between two unlikely teenagers...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.
