They live in the soil, they live in the air, they'll more or less live anywhere, it's germs!As we've heard in the last chapter, those invisible assailants have done us a big kindness in the War of the Worlds, but are they always friendly tiny buds helping us out?

We're back! The Martians have gone no where! But whose this lurking around Putney Hill? Is it an old friend who we shared a meal with and gave us expert advice on looking for biscuits? I won't insult your ignorance with such leading questions. Alongside the ropiest cockernee accent this side of Dick Van Dyke, we're joined by the polymath comedian, producer and podcast Jack Evans to finally put to rest the age old question "is a sewer with a Nintendo Switch better than an Orwellian Dystopia?"

Intermission: Victorian Science Problem Panic Time...

Edy Hurst"s Podcast Version of... The War of the Worlds ·

2021/10/13

If there's one thing from Victorian Science that's aged about as well as a puddle of milk in a rain coat pocket, it's the theory of eugenics. We've talked a bit at the very start of the book about how much these ideas have been involved in H.G. Wells' writing, but to do it a little more justice, the fabulous Subhadra Das zoomed in to chat a little more about the history of these ideas, and how they still permeate through thinking and science (especially science fiction) today.Subhadra is a

Chapter 3: The Days of Imprisonment

In what must be the least relatable part of the book for our entire generation, we find the Narrator and the Curate still stuck unable to leave the house. A sort of lockdown I guess, only it's Martians, and I don't want to cast judgement, but I've not seen a single mask or hand sanitiser in sight. It's an Edy only episode! We've got a song about peepholes - of course! We've got a deep dive on colonialism and its impact on land - yes please! Once again, a big thank you to Jason Cooke of the

Well, they're still stuck in the worst house share either of them have experienced, but don't worry, at least they've got a peephole to steal a glance out of. And what do they see? Well there's only one way to find out (excluding reading the book and all the other adaptations). This week we're joined by Graham and Ali from the British History podcast Rex Factor, a show that looks at every monarch and ranks them.

We're back! Book 2, Earth under Martians. Earth (by which in the book we mean the 75 mile radius of London) is well and truly knackered under the Martians. Hampton Court? Barely any visitors. Big Ben? Forget it. London Eye? Not created yet, but if it was, it'd also be knackered.We return to find the narrator still knocking around with that fair weakness of a man, the Curate, and what better way to celebrate that than with our beloved fair weakness, Tom Burgess?He's returned as the Curate and also
