Chapter 12: What I saw of the Destruction of Weybridge and Shepperton feat. Tony Wright & Jade Fearnley Edy Hurst's Podcast Version of... The War of the Worlds

How many Martian tripods does it take to screw in a light bulb? We're heading to the first town in Britain to be wholly lit by electricity (Weybridge) to find out in the next action-crammed chapter of the War of the Worlds.
Plus this week we've got two deep dives! One on the history of travel food via biscuits and the other on how the hell you can find out if an area was as posh as it is now in the past.
Joining me again as the artillery man is stand-up comedian and actor Tony Wright! And as the Lieutenant it's improviser, comedian and radio host, Jade Fearnley!
