Oh, no. I've caught up. What on Earth will I do on my drives to work?! I remember when I first stumbled across the podcast, 3 weeks or so ago. I was so innocent then. Simpler times.

And yeah, I misunderstood the date thing, I thought he meant the last three digits were the year. However, at least one, First Hunt, isn't consistent with this, as the case number states that it should have been recorded in November, but it's stated as September. Further research is needed. Well, he does say that even Gertrude didn't appear follow her own system at times (hers or an inherited system, hmm?) so it *could* just be mis-labelling rather than something more mysterious. It's never mis-labelling...*shifty eyes*

You'll do what the rest of us do. Listen to the back catalogue at 2x speed on loop to see if the community has missed anything.

As an information studies (aka library/archival science) student, the true horror of the Magnus Archives is hearing about the disarray the archives are in and contemplating what an ordeal sorting that out will be. No wonder the dates are causing problems.
Anyway, comments on the state of fictional archives aside, I felt there was a touch of M.R James to this one - "Oh whistle and I'll come to you, my lad" comes to mind.

You just made Jonny SO happy. When he first pitched Magnus it was with "like M R James except..."

Glad to hear I wasn't off base! I could probably write an essay on the M.R James echoes in M.A .
