As Waits takes a left-turn into a very different story from the 19th century, we're joined by Miranda Horvath and Jo Lewis to take a look at some of the gender politics in the tale of Edward Mordrake, and how nostalgia/fear/obsession are represented in this week's tracks.
Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include:
Poor Edward, Alice, Tom Waits (2002)
All Of My Mates Are Owls, from Imaginary Advice podcast 39 "I Heart 1984", Ross Sutherland (2017)
Timecode from 10m40s - 19m30s
Chained Together For Life, The Alice Demos, Tom Waits (1992 - unreleased)
There Is Nothing Like A Dame, South Pacific 1988 London Cast Recording, Rogers & Hammerstein (1949/1988)
