Episode 26: The Devil’s Race Track

By Cyril Plunkett, from the September, 1938 issue of “Detective Yarns.” This one really rips along, and is about as pulpy as a story can get. The bad guys are as bad as can be imagined, the good guy is always about to die, and the author tosses in some nudity for a little extra shock value, no pun intended.

If you like the podcast, consider checking out the magazine. You’ll get similar breathless stories of adventure, but from some of today’s best authors.

Episode 25: Bill Of Rights, 5000 A.D.

Today’s story is called “Bill of Rights, 5000 A.D.” by John York Cabot. It appeared in the June 1941 Issue of Fantastic Adventures. If I had really planned ahead, I probably would have released this one back on the week of July 4th. Oh, well. It’s pretty short, running only about 10 minutes or so. The good news is I fixed what I had been doing wrong with the recording, so the sound quality is way up over last week.

Episode 24: The Daughter of Thor, Part 3 (Finale)

Today we’re going to finish up The Daughter of Thor by Edmund Hamilton with chapters 5 and 6. I very much enjoyed the climactic battle of this one. If I hadn’t just thought of it right now, I probably would have found a recording of Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” to use as a soundtrack for that part. But I didn’t. If that’s something you’d like to do on a different device while you’re listening, however, it’s pretty clear in the story when to start the music.

Episode 23: The Daughter of Thor, part 2

Continuing our plucky hero’s plight, fighting Nazis and now Norse Gods? Poor guy can’t catch a break.
