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 novelist Katy Brent, who’s scouring ‘the market’ for any trace of Round The Twist, Ewoks, Global Hypercolor, Boglins, Out Of This World, Defenders Of The Earth and Garbage Pail Kids. Along the way we’ll be discussing the ethical ramifications of a relationship founded on the Round The Twist theme, debating the plural of Those Spidery Octopus Things That Rolled Down Windows, revealing how to avoid getting caught literally Global Hypercolor-handed and estimating the street value of Corroded Charlie and his likely effect on the plot development of any further series of The Wire.
