In this episode, Mike tells us about the strange story of The Dodleston Messages, where messages from both the 1540’s and 2109 appeared on a pre-internet computer, but also includes poltergeist activity and other weird goings-on.
We also talk about gravy; the perhaps sinister origins of social media; and the Dead Internet theory.
