Hello there. I just wanted to pop in before the podcast starts for the very exciting announcement,

which is that sentimental garbage is coming back to the Union Chapel on June 14th for a launch event from my book, Skipshock.

I'm so excited to be invited back to the Union Chapel. It's one of my favorite venues I've ever done.

It's such an amazing space. And honestly, last time we went,

it was probably the drunkest I've ever been on stage in my life. This time we're coming back to promote my new book, Skipschok. It's a little bit of a launch event. So it's going to have

all the kind of fun and debauchery of a regular sentimental garbage live with a little bit of a

magical chat thrown in. It's also going to be the

sentimental Garbage Live debut of our good friend Jen County who will be doing some tarot business

on stage while Alex Haddo, who always does the live shows with me, is going to be there as well,

and we're just going to have the best fucking crack on stage. I cannot wait to do it. So it's June 14th. The tickets are in the show notes

and I can't wait to see you there.

Hello and welcome to Magical Garbage, the podcast where we share our hearts with undeserving

princes. My name is Caroline and I represent a miracle in the field of CGI.

And joining me is the voice of Sean Connery with Samantha Shannon.

Excellent Scottish accent there.

I'll be doing the whole podcast like this.

Well, thank you so much for having me.

This is such a fun opportunity, because Dragon Heart was my absolute fixation when I was a child.

I can really see it. Having read your work, I can really see the through line between them.

And can I just say, it's just beautiful to see someone's, like, inspirations,

not just being sort of Arthurian legend or Tolkien or whatever,

but also like a vaguely schlocky, really fun dragon vehicle of the early 90s. It was just like, it was very dear
