142 - Mic Wright - I Have Achieved Some Things

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. Joining Tim this time is journalist Mic Wright, who’s carefully accumulating his small change in the hope of collecting a full set of the NatWest Piggies, Eerie. Indiana, Musical Chairs by Kinky Friedman, High On A Rocky Ledge by Moondog and the National Record Of Achievement. Along the way we'll be examining Boris Becker's dread of giant interrogational pig costumes, debating who would 'win' out of Sir Nathaniel Westminster and Nicky Wire, consulting the Chartered Accountancy Necronomicon and revealing just who a Golden Wonder sticker of Beth Buchanan is 'on brand' for and why.
