Ep 396: Freddie Starr Swallowed My Soul

Often, the “Paul’s Page Turners” segment of the show can offer up some wild and unfathomable books to investigate, but this week’s choice is a truly mad experience. Paul and Eli may be skeptics when it comes to all things supernatural, but they’re willing to hear a story out if it shows promise. The book in question was sold in Cancer Research Charity Shops across the UK and is entitled, “The Show Must Go On: Book Two”. Written by a possibly naïve believer, Malcom Thorogood’s proof of life after death comes in the form of visitations from one of the UK’s most notorious 1980s light entertainers… Freddie Starr! The man who allegedly ate a hamster (!!) and dealt in high energy, near crazed comedy is now back from the dead to offer some mindboggling experiences from beyond the grave. Paul is gobsmacked and Eli doesn’t believe one bit of it! But hey, if you don’t like ghosts there’s an “Off Brand Brand Off” segment to enjoy. Eli must rank FIVE orange soda brands to see if the Fanta or Tango brands are up to scratch compared to some considerably cheaper alternatives! See? There’s something for everyone!
