33:55 – Welcome back to the dimension known as ‘After Hours’. Join us in a night time journey through some unusual news stories, the world of cult movie fanatics and a forgotten nineties sitcom. ‘The Man in the Pub’, meanwhile, ponders the possibility that Britain’s press are trying to manipulate reality – are Tulpa-manifesting Tibetan monks the government’s secret defence? A 1970s BBC documentary explores ‘A Day in the Life of a Tribute Messiah’, before we wrap up the dark hours with some ‘Late Night Politics’ at WNKR Pittsburgh.

Written and Produced by Doc Sleaze.
