Episode 98: Folie a Deux: The Eriksson Twins / Edward Mordrake

Nov 19

Hearty salutations, dearest Queerdos! We’ve got double trouble for you this week: two stories about twins! First, in our True Crime Story, Miss takes us back to 2008, to a very bad week for a pair of Swedish twins (and for the town of Stoke-on-Trent). Next, in our Spoopy Tale, Kevin tells us about Edward Mordrake, a fictional example of a real medical phenomenon. So look out for passing cars, ignore the cruel whispers of your parasitic twin, and get ready for this week’s show.
