When I transferred the huge Witchpolice archive over to the current hosting site, about 50 episodes from 2013-2014 got missed. Although they've always been available, buried on the old Witchpolice site, they've never been formally discoverable on podcast platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

I recently asked listeners which of these lost episode(s) they'd like to hear re-released, this one – with Julia Ryckman, a/k/a Slattern – was easily the most-requested.

At the time this episode (WR084) originally came out in July 2014, Witchpolice Radio had a very different format. We (I wasn't the only host!) weren't only interviewing local musicians, but were asking them to select songs from their own record collections based on randomly-generated theme words.

Due to the sketchy legality of broadcasting other people's songs without permission, the selections are edited out of this episode, but it's still a great conversation, and was one of my favourites of the early years of the podcast.

This episode is brought to you by Osborne Village’s new pop-up record store, Old Gold Vintage Vinyl, and by our friends at The Park Theatre.
