Imploding Fictions
About this episode

"My name was Argan. My profession: barber-surgeon..."

Brussels under the Spanish crown, a cultural melting pot, dignitaries and merchants passing through, and right in the centre of it all, a tall thin building adorned with a golden crest: a phoenix! This is the headquarters of the Guild of Barbers! But do they really offer only moustache waxes and centre partings? Or do they also offer a more nefarious service...


Guest episode starring and written by Felix Trench (Wooden Overcoats, Victoriocity, Re: Dracula, Unseen, Zero Hours, Quid Pro Euro)

Also featuring Hemi Yeroham, Alan Burgon, Jordan Cobb, Erin King, Julia C. Thorne, Robin de Coq van Delwijnen, Vincent Zuresco and Stéphane Gérard.

Story editing and direction by Oystein Ulsberg Brager and Philip Thorne, sound design by Adam Raymonda and music by Fredrik Baden. Production assistance by Maty Parzival and graphic design by Anders Pedersen. 

This episode is dedicated to Blythe Varney.
