30:29 – Welcome back to the dimension known as ‘After Hours’. Join us in a night time journey through some conversations in the night cafe, get some late night consumer advice about the dangers of Uber-type taxi services and tune into a radio shock jock as he finds himself confronted with the ‘truth’ about Trump and those ‘UFO Files’. The Man in the Pub’, meanwhile, recalls his encounter with ‘The Man Who Fought Hitler’s Ghost’ – just why are the spectres of some of the twentieth century’s worst dictators assaulting a pub goer on the streets of West London? We wrap up the dark hours with an episode of ‘Weird Shit or What?’ with Bill Shitner, as he tries to get to the bottom of one woman’s terrifying amourous encounters with a number of resurrected horror legends.

‘After Hours’ was created using Google AI Studio and GPT Reader.  Music and sound effects by Freesound Community and Simplesound – all via Pixababy.
