Vintage era episodes of Into Your Head podcast. Please beware – Into Your Head has evolved over two decades and 850+ episodes. The vintage era is preserved for a handful of listeners who claim to have found it listenable, thus enabling me in this ludicrous endeavour for longer than most serial killers.

In fact for this episode, even the original description agrees “:DON’T START HERE IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD INTO YOUR HEAD BEFORE! Go back and listen to the previous show instead! This is an odd one. More of a “non show” than a show. If you don’t mind, we’ll skip the formalities of a topics listing this week, because that could get complicated. Thanks for listening.”
