With Halloween just around the corner, we here at New Con HQ are turning our attention to the world of psychic mediums. But the psychic listeners among you already knew that, didn’t you? In a way there’s no point us telling you what’s in the episode because you already know, but we’ll oblige for the non-believers.
In June this year one of the world’s most famous musicians headlined Glastonbury. It was hailed as a history-making set, spanned nearly three hours, and featured iconic Beatles songs, massive pyrotechnics, and guest performers.
