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 author Genevieve Jenner, who’s tilting the high school soda vending machine in search of any trace of The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein, What A Way To Go! and karmically aware soft drink Fruitopia. Along the way we’ll be debating whether Count Chocula is an appropriate breakfast option for ‘special occasions’, critically assessing Michael Powell’s Xtro, shuddering at the thought of The Jim Rose Circus Sideshow’s most repulsive exhibit and revealing why the hippy trail is strewn with striking dustbins, cough medicine and Crown Court.
