Pulp Today w/ David Avallone episodes
- Episode 33: Tales of the Frightened, Part Two!THE HAND OF FATE! Are you one of the Frightened? The second of three episodes from Michael Avallone’s Tales of the Frightened collection. Today, I'm reading one of my favorites: Dad's take on the old Mesopotamian folk tale APPOINTMENT IN SAMARRA. I also take a cheap shot at Peter Bogdanovich, who -- let's face it -- had it coming.

- Episode 32: Tales of the Frightened, Part One!Are you one of the Frightened? Here’s the first of three horror-themed episodes for Pulp Today, reading from Dad's Tales of the Frightened stories. Today, I talk about Dad's many horror novels, and the whole weird twisty history of the Tales of the Frightened project.... and read the first story in the collection. Also, I drink. Because (waves generally around at the world.)--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 31: Star Wars, Mandalorians, and me!A Pulp Today first... David Avallone reads some of his own writing, from his very first professional gig in 1989: writing Star Wars stories for the Role Playing Game, and one story in particular that may still be having a faint echo in the Star Wars Saga... particularly The Mandalorian.--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 30: I Am LegendLast summer, I thought it was a good time to talk about the late, great Richard Matheson, who brought us everything from half your favorite Twilight Zone episodes to The Incredible Shrinking Man, and specifically... the timeless (or timely) Apocalyptic classic: I Am Legend, aka The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man. I did cut off the personal plea to vote Biden/Harris from the original video, but you can still watch that part on Youtube...--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 29: The Masque of the Red DeathLast summer was… dark. And the episodes I recorded at that time? Whew. Dark. In this one, I talk about how allegory is a beautiful thing. Sometimes... it can be chilling. There's no way Edgar Allan Poe could have predicted President Prospero, but the parallels are there if you listen.--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 28: KONG!It’s the thrill of a lifetime! In today's exciting episode, we talk about my favorite movie when I was a kid, novelizations, paperbacks that fall apart in your hand, complicated copyrights, and enthusiasm for a life in show business.--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 27: The Spider! With Andrew Pepoy!In this episode, me and my friend Andrew Pepoy -- an amazing cartoonist and comics creator -- talk about my dad's favorite pulp character... THE SPIDER! (Originally recorded last year, we also talk about his Simone and Ajax Kickstarter, which is now long over, but you can still buy the book on IndieGoGo.)--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 26: To Hell and BackThis episode of Pulp Today is slightly different. This book is pulp NON-fiction... the combat autobiography of Audie Murphy: TO HELL AND BACK. In 2021, I’m sure we can all sympathize with the title. Originally recorded in 2020, and inspired by Trump’s refusal to visit a military cemetery in France for fear of a light drizzle. Content Warning: some fairly graphic descriptions of combat – and what it does to the human body – in this episode.--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 25: Pulp Today GOES APE!I started this series with one of Dad's books, and in this age of Apocalypse it seemed appropriate to read BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, one of the finest novelizations of all time. I’m biased, of course...--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
- Episode 24: The First Ever Pulp AdventureI do a little reading from what I'm calling the first pulp novel ever... sex, violence, adultery, jealousy, murder, longing, Gods and monsters. Dive into the wine-dark sea at rosy-fingered dawn, and join me on this... what's that word... trip? Voyage? Trek? It’ll come to me. After all... there’s no place like Homer.--Please leave us a rating on Apple Podcasts/iTunes!--Website: pendantaudio.comTwitter: @pendantwebFacebook: facebook.com/pendantaudioTumblr: pendantaudio.tumblr.comYouTube: youtube.com/pendantproductions0 min
