Remember how excited we all were back in the 1970s when photocopiers first started showing up on offices - how they transformed our lives? 
Particularly pleased to be on this show as (1) Darragh Mason is an excellent interviewer and (2) his Spirit Box show has just been rated as one of the Top 2% Global Podcasts – which is brilliant.
Me on Medium talking about the Wagatha Christie libel case and how it hit its "Who are The Beatles?" moment on day one.

Curated by English barrister and Reuters correspondent turned editor, author, award-winning tech journalist, storyteller, and sometime werewolf hunter Charles Christian. He writes, he drinks tea, he knows things. This site also has links to Charles' books and the Weird Tales Show videos and podcasts.
Descended from a motley crew of smugglers and witches, Christian was born a chime-child with a caul and grew up in a haunted medieval house by the harbourside in the Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough. According to folklore a caul-shrouded chime-child can't drown at sea but can see and talk to faerie folk and also has protection against spells cast by malevolent sorcerers. And yes, he was once commissioned to go on a werewolf hunt on the night of a full moon by a newspaper. Spoiler alert: he didn't find one. (Or it didn't find him.)
