We're living in dangerously weird times... smart people just shrug and admit they're dazed and confused

Just stumbled upon this video of Dr Samantha George of the University of Hertfordshire talking about werewolves, folk horror and my book on the Wold Newton Triangle at a conference* in 2019. (*Conferences – come on, you remember what they were.)

Weird Tales Radio Show we have the concluding part of our interview with historian Richard B. Spence on the life, times and mysterious disappearance of Sidney Reilly, the Ace of Spies – and Ace of Double Crossers. We've also a tale of ghostly Roundheads & Cavaliers who walk at this time of the year and we learn about the Candle in the Wind spell – yes there is an Elton John connection.

In this week's Weird Tales Radio Show we are joined again by American historian Richard B. Spence to talk about the incredible career of Sidney Reilly, an international master spy from the first quarter of the 20th century. Was he working for the Japanese, the Russians or the British? Or was he working for all three and double-crossing all of them? Did he nearly end the Russian revolution before it began? And how on earth did he get involved with the Voynich Manuscript?
