Intoxicants

Andy and Will round off the year with a show on intoxicants: real or fantastical, legal or outlawed, poison or cure (or sometimes both…). James Bond’s heart, curare, Charles Waterton’s donkey- and bellows-based hobbies, counteracting poisons with poisons, deadly beauty treatments, glass swans, penicillin, recycling a policeman's urine, K-Pax, alkaloids, opiates, the works of Jeff Noon, Hofmann, tripping babies, Equilibrium, mood stabilizers, and a surprisingly large number of emails! The claim that Dolophine, a brand name for methadone, was chosen in honour of Hitler was sadly too good to be true. This is a fantastically interesting show! an anonymous listener Tracklist Alice Cooper – Poison The National – All The Wine Skunk Anansie – She’s My Heroine Massive Attack – Rush Minute Plus, if you were listening live: Nirvana – Lithium Belladonna (Atropa Belladonna) (Deadly Nightshade) by Paul Belson Donkey-Face by Rachael Send feedback and comments to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected].
