The latest batch of Pulp Tales episodes is now streaming on your favorite podcast service and available here at ThePulp.Net if you prefer listening to them on the web. Links are also at the bottom of this post.
(And it didn’t take me almost a year to post them.)
All 14 episodes were recorded at PulpFest 2025 in August. They total over 10 hours of pulp-filled discussions.
PulpFest isn’t the only event going on at the hotel in Mars, Pa. There’s also FarmerCon, ERBFest, and, this year, the return of Doc Con.
Editing the audio files is time-consuming. The process involves blending the panel recordings with the separate audience recordings so that comments and questions can be heard, while minimizing the random audience noise — coughs, door closings, and various vocalizations — to enhance clarity.
The great thing about this is that I get to listen to the presentations all over again. It reminded me how much I enjoyed listening to the presentations. Plus, I picked up information that I’d missed the first time, hearing it live at PulpFest.
The even better thing is that you can now do the same. (Better yet, you can listen to the best of PulpFest even if you weren’t able to attend.)
These 14 new episodes bring the total recordings available for your listening pleasure to over 130, dating back to Pulpcon 35 in 2006. Many of the top pulp historians, collectors, and fans discuss the major pulp magazines, characters, and genres, as well as their key fictioneers, editors, and artists.
You are bound to find plenty of episodes to interest you and fill your time before next year’s PulpFest.
I hope you enjoy listening to our Pulp Tales podcast (as well as the older Pulp Event Podcast-branded ones). If you do, please spread the word about Pulp Tales, and subscribe and like us, too.
