A Tennessee Whiskey in Worcester: A Callum & David Christmas Mystery
Dec 10, 202202:59:32Tap to summarizeAfter ending their Patreon series, Callum & David had £188 in the podcast kitty and decided to set themselves a challenge: Go on holiday to anywhere in the UK neither had visited before... The catch? The trip had to cost that exact amount they had been left with. But what started as a fun challenge would quickly turn into a life-changing journey where coincidence after coincidence weaved together a series of seemingly unconnected events into a narrative arc too perfect to be real life... Follow Callum & David for THREE HOURS, revisiting the rabbit hole they unwittingly tumbled down as they try to piece together an unbelievable adventure that left them questioning time, space and their very perception of reality.
