E13: Tooth and Claw & Colonisation

A TARDIS of One’s Own

BIG theme this week but following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and all that chat about the Koh-i-Noor diamond, we couldn't not dive into the horrors of colonisation. In this episode, we're in 19th Century Scotland with Queen Victoria, a ravenous werewolf, and a band of assassinating warrior-monks. It's a lot.

Also, the office air con is really loud this episode so apologies for the background noise.

We're shifting to a fortnightly schedule so next episode will be out Wednesday, 12 October.

Please be aware that we can be a bit sweary. Soz not soz.

We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand, where we record.

Our music is by the amazing Scott Buckley. Find him here.
