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 and artist Juliet Brando, who’s trying not to get anyone expelled courtesy of hazy recollections of Gideon, Escaping by Asia Blue, The Cuckoo Sister, The Telebugs, Slapwrist Bracelets, Tottie: The Story Of A Doll’s House and Tab Clear. Along the way we’ll be finding out which crimes are worthy of incarceration in Doll Alcatraz, evaluating which Roxette single will most impress your teenage crush, discussing how to react if you suddenly hear your voice in the background of a bleak American drama series and debating whether a school trip ever actually happened if nobody randomly fell into an oxbow lake.
