Episode 16. The Oct. 1, 1939 Texaco Star Theater radio show featuring Edgar Rice Burroughs – shared with Dateline Jasoom by longtime ERB fan Ted McKosky. ERB on Tarzan Finds a Son: “We thought it was pretty good. Of course there's always room for improvement. We're pretty happy with Johnny. Good Tarzans are always hard to find.” ERB on dreaming up strange worlds: “Purely imagination. Before I wrote a word I used to sit around and dream of weird people and weird places just for my own entertainment.” During the 2006 ECOF, Joan Bledig provides an insightful look at Jane of the novels and Huck Huckenpohler talks about Jane as portrayed in the movies. Cole Richardson talks about Jane in the comics. This episode is a must for any fan of Jane Clayton, Lady Greystoke. And certainly for anyone who has never heard the voice of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
