The Many Faces Of Fawcett 4: Never Say Fawcett Again
Listen now
Description
Could this be ... the Final Fantasy of Fawcett? In this last episode of Fawcettmania, Cian sits by a stream and flicks the pages of 'Brazil That Never Was' by A.J. Lees, as well as articles by arch Fawcett-dismisser John Hemming. In an episode as thrilling as a mid-Victorian face-off between rival explorers at a packed RGS debate, we conclude: -confirmation (probably) of the date when Conan Doyle attended Colonel Percy's lecture! -tangents about John Hanning Speke and a descendent at a London punk gig -Fawcett writes for Occult Review and uses his Ouija board in the trenches of WW1 -John Hemming says Fawcett discovered nothing; Brian Fawcett says Jack Fawcett is a waster who 'reads Fu Manchu novels!' -Fawcett describing a real tribe as Bigfoot-like savages is pretty horrific -Cork mystic Geraldine Cummins makes an unlikely return to the show -Fawcett is (maybe) seduced by a fairy woman in Carrigaline; Brian is (definitely) seduced by a fairy woman and sees miniature UFOs Links: Buy Me A Coffee, you swine! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wideatlantic Brazil That Never Was, A.J.
