    12 - John And The House That Was TARDISing Out Of Control

    When asked as a child which disciple she'd like to be in the Easter play, co-host Ellie answered 'Jesus'. What does this tell us about Ellie? Well, essentially very little. And challenging preconceptions is what Poking Books is all about. So, has this episode's mystery author John achieved something more than being voted most negative IT journalist in the Miller Freeman's PR Audit Guide to UK IT Scribes? As you'll find out by the end of the episode, he certainly has.
