People were turned away for lack of seating. This rarely happens. It was such a fun performance, and so fun to be in character and in costume. I had a little front row cheering section, with a bunch of my kids and their significant others who came. It was so neat to see them there.   We have five Fridays this October! Perfect for this incredible classic from the great William Hope Hodgson. First published in 1908, this installment to the genre of classic horror is legendary. H.P. Lovecraft and Terry Pratchett have both praised it at length. It's kind of obvious that it helped them see what could be done, and inspire them to reach for the next level. But oh boy, what a level Mr. Hodgson established. I hope you like it.   And now, The House on the Borderland, Part 1 of 5,  by William Hope Hodgson   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $6.99/month       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

Mark Leslie Lefebvre is the author of more than thirty books that include the award-winning humorous urban fantasy Canadian Werewolf series— hailed by readers as “the thinking man's werewolf”—and his award-nominated ghostly explorations such as Haunted Hospitals and Tomes of Terror. He is also the editor of more than ten anthologies that include titles in the Hugo Award Nominated Pulphouse Fiction Magazine and the Aurora Award-winning Tesseracts series, which showcases the best in Canadian speculative fiction. His work has been translated into French, Italian, and German. While choosing the shorter and easier-to-spell moniker of Mark Leslie for most of his writing, Mark leverages his full name for work in inspiring, informing, and assisting other authors. Mark's first short story was published in 1992, the same year he began in the book industry. He is a tireless advocate for libraries, bookstores, and other authors and has held the roles of president of The Canadian Booksellers Association, board member for BookNet Canada, chair of the Professional Advisor Committee for Sheridan College's Honours Degree in Writing and Publishing, and Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten, Kobo, Inc. where he launched Kobo Writing Life. A pioneer in digital publishing, Mark has embraced both traditional and self-publishing routes and continues to look for new ways that technology and innovation can improve the industry for all authors. He has appeared on countless podcasts, television, and radio programs and has spoken on stages across Canada and the United States as well as in England, Germany, France, and Italy. Mark's weekly podcast, Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing—launched in January 2018— takes an unflinching look at the reality of the publishing world with a balanced take on the pros and cons of various publishing routes. One of his greatest passions is helping writers navigate the bold new realms and opportunities that continue to unfold as the industry evolves. Mark Leslie Lefebvre became a Writers of the Future judge in 2024. “Fantastic fiction has long been considered the herald of possibility. If so, then writers are the pioneering champions of inspiring the world in creative and imaginative ways that can bring form and reality to that raw potential. One of the most significant things we can do as writers is to inspire others to dream well beyond the limits and constraints of our world—to imagine the infinite potency and wonders that lie just on the other side of ‘what if.' Those whose mission is to seek out and celebrate new imaginative voices, to offer them a platform to launch their words, dreams, and stories, and to provide guidance as they navigate a complex and ever-changing publishing industry are the purveyors of possibility in the finest sense. And that is what Writers of the Future has always been. I am proud and honored to join the prestigious panel of world-class writers, artists and all of the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes in continuing L. Ron Hubbard's magnificent vision of paying it forward to the creative minds of tomorrow.” —Mark Leslie Lefebvre Find out more at: markleslie.ca markleslie.ca/about/

It's finally Sweater-Weather season! Alison and Dean recap last week's live screening of "Country Girls" in Simi Valley, where people arrived in full Prairie drag, reminiscent of the Rocky Horror Picture Show... (good idea, am I right?!)  They were joined by this week's guest, who also premiered in "Country Girls"--the incredible Tracie Savage, who played Christy Kennedy in the first 2 seasons of LHOTP. Tracie hadn't seen the cast in 48 years until she joined them at the 50th Anniversary festival in Simi Valley this past March! Fun fact: Tracie came from an entertainment family, and was the one child up against Melissa Gilbert for the role of Laura Ingalls. But she isn't bitter -- because she went on to have an incredible career in entertainment, (notably having a great death scene in the infamous Friday the 13rh franchise) and then found her calling in broadcast journalism, landing in Los Angeles, covering history-making stories such as the OJ Simpson trial. Speaking of OJ, Tracie tells a harrowing and riveting story of her experience having had to testify at the trial--and we are shook!  Currently, Tracie is a college professor, where she feels the most gratified. Tracie is seriously awesome, you will love her story--and we are so happy that she a part of the Little House family.Then, Alison answers some of your listener questions, specifically for Nellie Season 1!And for more fun, join us on Facebook for the Little House Food Contest!!

While fans around the Intermountain West are counting the minutes before FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2024, our good friend Dan Spindle at KSL-TV got a sneak peek at the event from celebrity guest John Rhys-Davies himself! Not to mention FanX founder Dan Farr. #FanX2024 happens September 26th—28th at the Salt Palace Convention Center and is stuffed to the brim with pop culture fun, celebrity appearances and panels, vendors, authors, artists, cosplayers, contests, KidKon, and more! Listen to this special minisode edition of Fan Effect to learn more. The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisodes taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premiere movie entertainment company.  

On September 18, 1974 a cultural phenomenon came forth unto the world: The Birth of the Prairie Bitch. That's right, Alison Arngrim premiered as Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prairie, and our worlds have never been the same. We discuss the episode "Country Girls" and the role Alison was born to play. Did you know that Alison first auditioned for the role of Laura?! Hear about her infamous audition story, her deep understanding of the character, and how she was always drawn to villain characters. Find out how being bullied in real life lent itself to her channeling the nastiness of Nellie Oleson, and how her "prairie drag" helped to transform her into the role.The immediate connection felt between Alison and Melissa Gilbert allowed them to achieve one of the all-time greatest TV rivalries and how the enjoyment of the kill is comparable to Alison's hero, Hannibal Lecter! Alison's experience of being the most hated person to one of the most beloved people is nothing short of amazing, as is Alison's embracing of the character and her place in TV history--and all of our hearts--as our favorite Prairie Bitch. As Alison so perfectly says it: "BEAUTY IS FLEETING--VILLAINY IS FOREVER" Then join us on Patreon for another fun segment! This week...Dean gets a surprise from Alison that may or may not involve an iconic song, a jacket and tie, and Gary Coleman just may be a part of the conversation. Intrigued? Join us!

Today we have a very special guest, one that lives in the hearts of all Bonnetheads: Karen Grassle, otherwise known as Caroline Ingalls--or "Ma"! Beginning with the Little House pilot, her performance on Little House captured the hearts of millions, embodying strength, warmth, and resilience. Beyond her work on Little House, she has enjoyed a varied career in theater, film, and television, earning a reputation as a versatile and dedicated performer. Her contributions to Little House continue to be celebrated world wide and she is beloved as one of the most iconic TV moms in television history. Her belief of Ma being a strong woman and not an archetypal ingenue was a big deal in 1974.We reminisce about the enthusiastic reception for her during the Simi Valley 50th Anniversary Festival, and how Karen didn't know how beloved she was until she was 80 years old--the year she published her memoir, "Bright Lights, Prairie Dust". She talks about accepting her destiny as Ma and how it influenced the trajectory of her career, how recovery from alcohol addition was a huge milestone in her life, and shares memories of some favorite moments on set, including Victor French, Melissa Sue Anderson and the iconic “A Matter of Faith” episode. #chickenwireKaren shares how acting was her calling from a young age and how writing her personal and vulnerable memoir was healing for her. Karen answers some of your listener questions, and then joins us on Patreon for a very personal conversation about difficulties on the Little House set behind the scenes and with Michael Landon during her time on Little House. Not on Patreon yet?

It is safe to say, this is the most anticipated episode since we began this podcast! Today's guest is an original, essential, and beloved member of the Little House family. Episodes featuring her rich, dramatic, and traumatic life on the prairie setratings records for the series. She became famous and unforgettable as Mary, the eldest Ingalls daughter--Today she is Melissa Sloan, but fans will always know her as Melissa Sue Anderson.You take the good, you take the bad--and Melissa is here clearing up some misconceptions that might have been ruminating about her, including her on-screen love interests, her letting go of the past and embracing new friendships with cast members, and some behind the scenes happenings that were frankly...not cool. With an adult perspective now, she looks back on her time on Little House which is truly illuminating--and revealing.
