Les mer Century Read: Weird Tales Magazine exactly 100 years ago!

This is the podcast where we read, admire, and react to (and occasionally recoil in horror from!) the issue of Weird Tales magazine that was on the newsstands exactly 100 years ago this month. Join Non-Euclidian Kris, Cyclopean Kris, Cthonian Finn, and Darksome Marcus and as they read and talk about what’s changed in 100 years, what has aged well and what has absolutely NOT, and read hilarious classified ads for things like telekinesis training, pimple cream, over-the-counter abortifacients and mail-order .32 automatics. Join us!

April 1926 Part 4 of 4: Tier-list ranking all the stories in Weird Tales this month a century ago!

EPISODE THREE OF FOUR! Century Read Weird Tales is the podcast in which we hop in the corporate DMC-12 and zoom 100 years back in time and then buy a copy of Weird Tales Magazine, fresh off the press, and, after reading it, do a tier-list ranking of all the stories inside. How well crafted were they? How well do they hold up, 100 years later? We're four pre-war pulp fans on a journey through one of the pulps that made the twenties roar, reading all the stories so you don't have to, along with some fantastic ads for stuff like "books for men," telekinesis lessons, and .32 automatics sold by mail on a "COD — send no money now" basis. Join us! IN THIS EPISODE: * THE MUMMY'S FOOT, by Theophile Gautier: "Hermonthis, Princess of Egypt, Returns for Her Lost Foot." * THINGS THAT ARE GOD'S, by C. Franklin Miller: "The Wolf-man Comes to his Senses Through a Terrible Crime." * THE YELLOW SPECTRE, by Stewart Van der Veer: "Old Spanish Prison — a Terrified Bride — the Ghost of a Chinaman (sic)." * THE GLACIER LODE, by Strickland Gillilan: "Soapy Sam was Balmy, so His Friends Thought."

Prequel iv: March 1926 Part 4 — Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe!

Welcome to our FOURTH prequel episode! On this fourth episode of Century Read, Non-Euclidian Kris Jerome, Cyclopean Kris Puterbagh, Cthonian Finn J.D. John and Darksome Marcus Axford continue their exploration of the MARCH 1926 issue of WEIRD TALES Magazine! It's DARKSOME MARCUS's turn to start us off with his favourite story from this month's issue of the magazine: MASK OF THE RED DEATH by EDGAR ALLAN POE (published on Page 360 of this issue; reading by Darksome Marcus) ——— After that comes the episode's featured poem: THE RUTTED ROAD by H.P. LOVECRAFT (Reading by Cthonian Finn) ——— Finally, we cap off the show with letters to the editor, including a fake one we have snuck in. Can you guess which one? Let us know, and we'll give you a shoutout on a future show! Along the way, we'll do some fake "sponsorship ad reads" for our favourites among the hucksters, swindlers, and morally-questionable entrepreneurs whose hilarious and sometimes inappropriate advertisements appeared in the back pages of this issue, hawking everything from telekinesis lessons to .32 automatics (and, in this episode, a "lucky ring" that seems obviously intended to be worn on ... er ... a gentleman's nether appendage) all available through the mail (in plain brown wrappers, no doubt). Join us! (This episode is the FOURTH of FOUR episodes working from the March 1929 issue.)

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
