The book was published in 1901 a year before Georges Méliès kicked off science fiction cinema with La Voyage dans la Lune in 1902. (You can learn more about that film in episode number 2 The First Science Fiction Film Ever.) Then in the swinging 60s as the space race was heating up a collection of brilliant sci-fi filmmakers go together to make a story about a Victorian British scientist going to the moon with his anti-gravity material Cavorite! And yet even the amazing Ray Harryhausen stop motion special effects were not enough to make this film a success. My amazing guests break down the origins and outcomes of this mid-century oddity. Keith Williams is a Reader in English Literature at the University of Dundee where he runs the science fiction programme. He has a special interest in the pre 1945 period and is the author of the book H.G. Wells, Modernity and the Movies. Matthew Rule-Jones is a senior lecturer in film studies at the University of Exeter and author of the book Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain: Recontextualising Cultural Anxiety. At 6:09 Keith is about to explain the contraption that Robert William Paul was planning based on HG wells Time Machine. I interrupt him as we've covered this in two episodes priot.

I am very sorry but I have been unwell this past week. (But I am on the mend!) Multiple visits to the hospital mean that although I have the next episode recorded I have not been able to edit it. I've heard many podcasts serve up older episodes in this circumstance. Maybe an annoyance to those who have already heard all the episodes but for those who haven't since it is 2026 it's probably a good opportunity to watch Metropolis (1927) as this year is the year it was set. I have two remarkable and engaging academics speak about it. Sonja Fritzsche is a professor of German Studies and an author/editor for many books about science fiction. She has taught courses on science fiction, utopia and Metropolis. Noah Isenberg is a film historian and best-selling author. He is a professor at the University of Texas and editor of the book Weimar Cinema: An Essential Guide to Classic Films of the Era. This episode was originally released in April 2024 and was episode 5 of the podcast. I will hopefully be back in great health soon and the new episode on First Men in the Moon will be edited for release in two weeks.

Launching a men's Bible study? The first meeting sets the tone—and most guys underestimate how much it matters. In this session, Vince Miller walks you through the exact 5-step format he's used for decades to launch strong, intentional, Christ-centered first meetings that build trust and ignite brotherhood. You'll learn: ✔️ How atmosphere speaks before you ever open your mouth ✔️ Why preparation communicates value and safety ✔️ How to lead prayer and purpose with clarity—not pressure ✔️ The secret to building fast trust through story-sharing ✔️ How to cast vision without selling or hyping ✔️ Why a strong closing prayer seals the moment and sets direction Whether you're meeting in a church classroom, a garage with a space heater, or your living room—this format works anywhere. If you can follow five steps, you can lead a fantastic first meeting. REFLECTION + SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What's one first impression you've had walking into a room that shaped how you engaged? 2. Which part of prepping the room do you think communicates the most value to men? 3. How does starting with a short, intentional prayer shape the tone of a meeting? 4. Why do men need to hear a clear "why" before they engage the "what"? 5. When have you seen vulnerability build trust in a group? 6. Which type of men are hardest for you to lead—talkers or quiet guys? Why? 7. How can you guide story-sharing without making it feel forced or clinical? 8. What vision do you feel called to cast for the men you're leading? 9. Why is a closing prayer powerful, even when it's short? 10. What step from this format do you need to grow most in before leading your next meeting?
Nothing can survive the brutal conditions on the surface of the Moon. But a story that debuted 125 years ago depicted a vast civilization below the surface – a society of insects. First Men in the Moon was written by H.G. Wells. It was published over several months in two magazines – “The Cosmopolitan” in the United States, and “The Strand” in Britain. The first installment appeared in November of 1900. In the story, a man named Bedford befriends a scientist named Cavor who’s invented “cavorite” – a substance that nullifies gravity. He builds a ship and covers it with shutters that are coated in the stuff. Opening and closing the shutters allows the ship to move through space. The two men travel to the Moon, where they’re taken underground by the Selenites. Bedford escapes. Thinking Cavor is dead, he returns to Earth alone. But two years later, Cavor starts beaming messages to Earth. He describes the Moon and its inhabitants in detail. After he tells the Selenite’s leader of Earth’s war-like tendencies, though, he’s cut off – and never heard from again. First Men in the Moon was a hit. It influenced scientists and other fiction writers alike for decades, inspiring more stories, plus efforts to reach the Moon – a world populated only in the imagination. The Moon climbs into good view by about 8 o’clock tonight. Elnath – the second-brightest star of Taurus – is quite close to the Moon’s upper left. Script by Damond Benningfield

This week, we're starting a classic science fiction novel, "The First Men in the Moon" by H.G. Wells. It's not as well-known as Wells' other works, but it's equally important. This book seems to be inspired by Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" and is believed to contain the first depiction of 'the alien hive mind'. Many science fiction stories have been influenced by and paid homage to this tale.You can support the channel via our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewelltoldtaleBooks - (buying books from our Bookshop.org shop helps support this channel while also supporting local bookshops, at no cost to you):Books by our favourite authors - https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/the-well-told-taleBuy The First Men in the Moonhttps://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9781473218000Other Books by H.G.
