Join Tim and LeeAnna for Alchemy... the podcast from Effigy Press that dives into the delightful chaos of life. Whether you're a fiction writer working on refining your craft or just someone who enjoys watching the world spin off-kilter and needs fresh material for your next cocktail party, we've got you covered. Today, we take a closer look at the audacious and bold choices made by Charles Sargeant Jagger and Lionel Pearson in their design of the Royal Artillery Memorial in London, which honors the 49,076 soldiers of the Royal Artillery who perished in World War I. Writers, prepare to expand your creative horizons. Non-writers, stick around—this conversation is bound to spark something fascinating. Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve shielded you from the onslaught of ads for comfy bras you’d never wear if someone paid you. You’re welcome—because we care about your dignity (and your complete lack of interest in undergarment marketing). And if one somehow slips in, I swear we didn’t put it there. Just blame it on the algorithm’s questionable taste in, well, everything. Links Link to Royal Artillery Memorial here. Read The Snark’s review of this podcast here.
