Razor Sprinter 1849:

A duely warranted officer of Scotland Yard's recently instituted 'Razor Sprinter' division, applies an early analog version of the Voight-Kampff test to determine if the female suspect under observation is in fact a non-human 'duplicant' servitor.

The etching which rocked Victorian society by posing the unbelievable question: Could duplicants be humans, of a sort, after all?

So excited for my friend Ingrid, whose podcast has been shortlisted for the International Women's Podcast Awards!

"Unfolding the Victorian historical drama within the love letters of Fred and Jane, a young working-class couple from Sheffield, England. Each week you travel 140 years back in time to discover the latest happenings." https://mylovelettertimemachine.buzzsprout.com/

Ingrid contextualises their lives within the world of Victorian England, and the letters cover topics from the growing steel industry, intimacy, gendered relationships, impacts of divorce on working class women, and even the 1st ever electrically lit evening football game.

Ingrid has a calm voice, and she draws you into the world of Fred and Janie; you become quite invested in what happens in their lives. It's also the 1st time in my life that someone has made me interested in Victorian England! I so love this podcast and totes recommend.

Note: she does CW topics like alcoholism and sexual intimacy at the start of those episodes.
