Lloyd and I have been very frustrated that we haven't been able to get out and about during lockdown, so we decided to make a Curiously Specific podcast without either of us leaving our homes. It's not the same as getting out into the real world, but it turned out we could still have a lot of fun over Zoom. Enjoy!
In the middle of the third Covid-19 lockdown, Lloyd and Tim get together virtually for a Zoom around London’s Aldersgate Street and key points north and west of Slough House, the headquarters for Mick Herron’s titular 'Slow Horses'.
They spy on Slough House itself, uncovering countless off-the-shelf companies which might be fronts for unseen agents, but probably aren’t. Not to mention watchful owls which might be hints of a conspiracy or might just be there to scare off the pigeons.
Rummaging around in the Companies House website they find out more than they possibly should have done about Mick Herron himself, and seek to put themselves in the writer’s own shoes as he travels from Oxford to the Barbican to Moorgate via Bunhill Fields.
