Episode 7. Elmo speaks with Barsoomian Blade reporter Herbo Gooli, who is at the foot of the landing stage where the great warship Paramount is about to land in Greater Helium to finalize details of the “John Carter of Mars” documentary. “The ship is riding majestically toward us, like some great feather ...” The Oak Park Historical Society hosts a panel discussion of ERB and Ray Bradbury. Chicago Mucker Greg Phillips speaks at that forum about how each writer handled Mars. “The red Martians are completely human – except they lay eggs and live for a thousand years,” he says of Barsoom. The Tarzan yell of George McWhorter, who also spoke at the forum (and will be featured on another podcast), makes its Dateline Jasoom debut.
