Milord Sir Smiht and the Odyllic Snuff-Up: Virgil & Bob Investigate

Send us Fan MailVirgil & Bob revisit the hilarious “Milord Sir Smiht, the English Wizard,” as collected in The Enquiries of Doctor Eszterhazy (1975). In this episode of The Avram Davidson Universe Podcast, they return to Bella’s Court of the Golden Hart, where an English “wizard,” a roomful of snuff, and some very dubious odyllic forces somehow add up to one of Davidson’s strangest comic investigations.We previously featured this story with the great Tim Anderson — you can watch or listen to that reading here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1310005/episodes/15173599 https://youtu.be/MibdctVmI2kThis time around, Virgil & Bob try to decide what’s more dangerous: the odyllic machinery, the bureaucracy, or the sheer quantity of Rappee being inhaled. Side effects of this episode may include spontaneous phrenology, sympathy sneezing, and an irrational desire to visit Brothers Swartbloi for “just a pinch” of Imperial. #fantasybooks , #fantasyhistory , #scifi , #weirdfiction , #booktube , #shortstory , #storytime , #audiobook , #literature , #fiction , #podcast , #podcastclips , #storyanalysis , #readingcommunity , #narration , #classicbooks , #bookdiscussion , #speculativefiction #Snuff @PBSBooks @Tor @PenguinRandomHouse @Nerdwriter1 @crashcourse @WisecrackEDU @britishlibrary @LofiGirl @nytimes ​
