Embark, with Simon and Chris, on a journey to meet the immortals who hide among us. Marvel as the duo unravel the mysteries around elusive figures like the Wandering Jew: he who defies time while indulging in cliff jumps, beer and botany. Goggle as our friends encounter undying ones scattered across the globe: from the Count of Saint-Germain to prophetic hitchhikers. And brace yourself for life-changing questions. Can consuming mercury unlock the gates to immortality? Do angels have beards? And, most importantly, did Victorian Bath host a two-thousand-year-old beggar? All is revealed in this month’s episode of Boggart and Banshee.
This number is accompanied by a source book: Meeting an Immortal: Encounters with the Wandering Jew in British Folklore.
