    • History

We here at Consistently Eccentric believe that you should always chase your dreams, even if those dreams are a bit morbid and disturbing. With that in mind meet James Billington who, as a child, dreamed of being able to hang fellow humans from the neck until dead.
This week we will follow his struggles to land his dream job and the subsequent career he forged as a hangman without equal. We even have a special guest appearance from Victorian poisoner Dr Thomas Neill Cream!
Guest Host: Ollie Green
