This is a message from Alexander J Newall about the delay to today's episode of The Magnus Archives."Hi everyone, Alex here.Due to the recent police killing of Walter Wallace Jr., we have decided to delay public release of the Magnus Archives episode that was scheduled for today.This is because - whilst it is not directly about race, racial violence, or death - it does deal with the police, wrongful imprisonment, and abuses of power which may hit particularly close to home this week. The audio version will be coming out next week at the usual time as part of a double bill with episode 186 on Thursday 5th November.However, the transcript of today's episode is available below if you wish to familiarise yourself with the narrative events before next week. Content warnings are included at the start of the document.Thank you for your patience."TRANSCRIPTPDF: https://cutt.ly/DgYjMGZDOC: https://cutt.ly/ngYkepC  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
