What Mad Universe?!?

A world...where ape rules man? Well, one ape, anyway. And actually he's more of a Bigfoot. And he becomes the Prime Minister of England. Yes, it's the extremely odd Dwala, by George Calderon, the missing link between political satire and monkey business!

In a galaxy wracked with crime, only one thing stands between civilization and chaos: a bunch of wise-cracking, genocidal, extremely sexist space cops with magic jewelry! They are the thin shiny line, and they know what's best for the universe, because shut up, they just do.

This week we take a look at perhaps the baseline for all post-war space opera, the cheesy but occasionally charming Lensmen series by E. E. "Doc" Smith. They're loose cannons, dammit, but they get results!

Happy Halloweeeeeeeeen, attendants of the arcane, and welcome to a spooky new What Mad Universe?!? looking at The Beetle! You know, the smash hit horror novel of 1897? The one that outsold any other fly-by-night horror novels that year, such as (pulls out name at random) "Dracula", by Bram Stoker? Well, the cruel hand of mortality comes for us all, even the most popular stories, I guess!

We're back and madder than ever, acolytes of adventure! Behold our extra-length season three premiere, in which we take a spin across the centuries and around the solar system, checking out stories of exploration from the whimsical satire of Voltaire to the supposedly 'hard' Sci-Fi of Arthur C. Clarke, and in the process look at how science fiction has evolved in parallel with the Enlightenment...

Everything comes round again once more, and to everything there is a season...and ours is at an end. For the epic finale of Season Two, we're tackling the seminal 1922 fantasy novel The Worm Ouroboros, a tale of epic quests, Shakespearean intrigue, flowery language, and the planet Mercury for some reason.

We want to give a big thank you to our listeners and supporters for two great seasons, and here's hoping #3 is just as much fun! We'll see you in the fall!
