hppodcraft — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 05:42:22 +0000

So, Chris was editing The Colour Out of Space, Part 2 when his computer went down.

The episode is safe. It is comfortable. But we need to do a little maintenance on the system so we can finish putting it together, and it’ll take a few days.

Since we’ve been skipping so many shows lately, we didn’t want to leave you empty-handed once again. So we threw something together.

This week, Andrew Leman reads an original mythos story, and Chris and Chad head up a pulp action radio drama. It’s not your typical show, but it’s fun for the whole family!

Show Notes

Great timing! A major human-ape ancestry find in the news just today!
Couldn’t find that story about the burning woman in Peoria, but THIS WOMAN set herself on fire and walked around the mall just recently!
Note from Chad: I found the cover of the copy of Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar that I read when I was a kid. Somehow, I fell in love with the woman in the deep background. Now, that’s imagination!
Also, I was wrong – in Alan Moore’s story “Allan and the Sundered Veil,” Randolph is John Carter’s grand-nephew, not his brother. I’m never talking about this story again, as this is the second time I’ve gotten the details wrong. Never!
Next Time: The Street
