And we're back! Unless you just started listening in which case: Hey, we're still here! What story could possibly be thrilling enough to end our hiatus? Alien visitors attacking the earth? Doomed romance on the cliffs of Dover? Even better: Publishing! Join us for this tale about a literary agent who receives a mysterious manuscript that he believes will change the world. If he can get it published, that is. Can you handle the mystery that is "Author Unknown"?!

Well, will they? WILL THEY?! Find out in the most scientifically accurate article in the May, 1950 issue of Whisper magazine! Among the competition are articles titled "How to Wrestle an Alligator" and "Can Gals Get Any Nuder?" so scientific accuracy is a clear priority for the good folks at Whisper. Plus, the first (and only, given Alan's response!) appearance of America's hottest new game show, Cameo No You Didn't!

Interrupted Tales - E089: When the Devil Drives
play

11/23/22 • 49 min

When the devil drives he never pays for tolls! He also puts his bare feet up on the dash like a damned caveman, but that's neither here nor there. From a 1910 issue of Men's Railroad Magazine comes When the Devil Drives, the tale of a desperate father and his son riding the rails to greener pastures. With the devil, so it sounds like fun and they're going to stop for a lot of commemorative spoons. Check it out!

Interrupted Tales - E076: Terran Treachery Trips Luna LIVE!
play

06/16/20 • 30 min

Recorded live at the 2020 Livestream for the Cure charity podcasting marathon, it's "Terran Treachery Trips Luna" from the January, 1952 issue of Fantastic Adventures magazine! This almost alliterative tale of lunar diamond madness has spacesuits and flare guns and wagons with tongues and proves the moon truly is a harsh mistress (but not the fun kind).

NOTE ON SOUND: This was a live telethon so some of the theme music is a little low in the mix (don't worry, it's only the music). You will also hear occasional loud noises announcing donations throughout the segment. Sorry about that but we love to help raise money for cancer research!

You will also sometimes hear Nick from the Epic Film Guys podcast, who, along with some other great podcasters, created the entire event and raised over $15,000 for the Cancer Research Institute. It's a terrific org, a fantastic event, and he's a pretty swell dude. Listen to Epic Film Guys wherever you listen to podcasts or learn more at http://www.epicfilmguys.com/.

Stuck at home with nothing to do but listen to podcasts? You can still listen to our comedy/sci-fi audio drama series, Parasitecology! It's got aliens, spaceships, work happy hours of doom, trips to the supermarket, and a fugitive alien brain parasite named Cher. It's a whole lot of story in 14 episodes with each about 25 minutes long. Perfect for binging! To learn more about Parasitecology, visit our website https://ohthehumanity.com or search in any podcatcher. We've gotten some nice feedback and would love to hear from you after you hear from us.

02/19/19 • 28 min

We're back, my little chili babies! After some time off producing our new darkly comic sci-fi audio drama, Parasitecology, Interrupted Tales returns with a Tale of (barely) forbidden love from the March, 1943 issue of Ranch Romances. Maybe "forbidden" isn't the right word for it, perhaps "barely there" is the right one? Anyhoo, it's a hoot and we're excited to be back!

This episode features a conversation spurred by The History of Bad Ideas podcast, who you should be subscribing to and following on Twitter at @BadIdeasPodcast. If it's geeky, they've got fun opinions about it.

A quick word on scheduling: We are back but changing our frequency for a bit. We'll be switching to new episodes every other Tuesday, with Parasitecology being released the in-between weeks. So if you're getting this when it comes out, you can listen to Parasitecology next Tuesday, and then a new Interrupted Tales the next one. This will last for the 14 episodes of Parasitecology. We do hope you give it a try, it's a sci-fi tale of fugitive aliens that live on your brainstem, depressed IT workers, interplanetary conspiracy, and pizza rolls. If you like it you'll still get us every week!

Interrupted Tales - E053: Who's Got the Turkey?
play

11/21/18 • 55 min

It's Thanksgiving time! Well, at the time we're publishing this. And in America. Well, it's Thanksgiving in our hearts and in this episode we celebrate with a thrilling tale of railroad men and turkey heists. From the November, 1909 issue of The Railroad Man's Magazine comes "Who's Got the Turkey?" which has as many twists as Oceans 11 and as many turns as a forced game of Monopoly with your family. Join Rob and Alan as they raise a glass of gravy in thanks to all our listeners and the bizarre pulp magazine stories we love so much!

We also feature a promo for the fun and funny So It Is Told podcast, where comedian Jacob Meza and funny guests share legends, myths, and fairy tales from near and far. Find it everywhere you find podcasts and follow Jacob @soitistoldcast!

Interrupted Tales - E057: Have Your Past Read, Mister?
play

03/05/19 • 33 min

We hope you enjoyed last week's release of our new darkly comic sci-fi audio drama, Parasitecology, but this week Interrupted Tales returns with futuristic fortune tellers who don't tell your past or future. Instead they tell what might have been if you had chosen a different path! Don't worry, though, your life is still lousy. Ah, well. From Startling Stories magazine from 1955 comes a story with punctuation that will surely break our RSS links: "Have Your Past Read, Mister?"

Plus there's a really gross bit about toenails. I mean, that's worth listening to right there.

A reminder on scheduling: Our next episode will in exactly two weeks. On the in-between weeks we are releasing Parasitecology. If you want us every week you have two great ways to get us! If you don't want us any weeks well, frankly, I'm surprised you read this far. We'll be back weekly after Parasitecology's 14-episode run. To learn more about Parasitecology, visit our website https://ohthehumanity.com or search in any podcatcher.

Interrupted Tales - E049: Moon, June, Spoon, Croon
play

10/16/18 • 51 min

In our 49th podcast (49!) we combine two of our listener's favorite genres: Sci-fi and romance! "Moon, June, Spoon, Croon" is a futuristic Tale from the Summer, 1955 issue of Startling Stories (the same issue as listener favorite, "The Angry House) and while Alan reads, Rob interrupts and we discuss robot dating, janitors of the future, and the other Rick Astley song. Can a modern robot find its way in a cold, uncaring world? Can it overcome its limited yet somehow extremely powerful programming? And will the title ever make sense? All your questions will be answered (except that last one, cause, nope)!

We also promo the excellent Ink to Film podcast, which you can find in your favorite podcast app or learn about right here. They read books and watch movies, it's a perfect blend of book talk, film talk, and humorous banter. Whether you've read the book or even seen the film they're discussing, it's always worth a listen!

This week we read and interrupt a 1921 Tale of crime, "The Weeping Killer"! It's from Black Mask Magazine and covers the criminally under-discussed question of modern times: How many times can a mobster cry before people start to talk? The answer may surprise you! Plus Rob and Alan induct a new member into the IT Book Club: Luke of the fantastic Ink to Film Podcast. How do you join the IT Book Club? Simply rate us on iTunes/Apple Podcasts and DM us your details on Twitter and you'll get an exclusive membership card, postcards with original art, stickers, pins of Jelly the Gelatinous Cube, and more!

We also feature a promo for our friends at the Novel Predictions podcast.

Find it on your favorite podcast app and at Apple Podcasts right over here.

11/06/18 • 37 min

The podcast is coming from inside your app! Listen along as we read "When The Killer Called", a crime story from 1945's Detective Tales magazine. A couple are terrorized by a criminal ex in a way that doesn't play out anything how you'd expect! I'm kidding, of course, it plays out exactly like that movie you saw with that story. No, not that one, the other one. No, the other, other one! Join Rob and Alan for a juicy slice of pulp mixed with comedy mixed with long distance calls from (alleged) small-time murderers.

Also featured: A promo for the Unassigned Reading podcast. A fun book club about all the books you'd never get assigned in school. You know, the interesting ones! Find them at http://unassignedreadingpod.com or wherever you downloaded this one.
