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.

Along the way we'll be assessing Plug’s chances of survival in the pre-Alternative Comedy standup scene, debating the Cabana-related exceptions to libel laws and finding out how Ally Sloper invented Teletext.
