New Release Title - The Iron Duke

An astounding cast assembled last Saturday on Hollywood Boulevard at the Pulp Fiction Theater for the Stories from the Golden Age.

They were: (l to r) Phil Proctor, Michael Yurchak, John Mariano, Rajia Baroudi and Tait Ruppert.


The story they performed was one of suspense, sprinkled with humor and romance:

American arms merchant Blacky Lee is wanted by nearly every government in 1930s Europe— especially the Nazis. They want Blacky's head for selling them dud weapons, prompting his rapid (and illegal) escape across the Balkans to the kingdom of Aldoria with his business partner in tow.

Aldoria is well chosen. Years before, Blacky discovered he was the spitting image of the country's Prince Philip, learned the archduke's speaking voice and memorized the royal family tree just in case. When Blacky brazenly impersonates the leader, things go surprisingly well . . . that is, until he finds himself caught in the middle of a Communist plot to rig elections and take over.

Michael Yurchak said about the show, "It is pulp fiction at its absolute, quintessential best. It's a really great experience from top to bottom."

Phil Proctor, one of the founders of the Firesign Theater, added, "I think this is a very great story. It leaps off the page when you read it. It's almost like watching a really good movie—in your mind."

The theater was crowded with interested listeners who enjoyed the story immensely.

He talks like a pirate...

Alexis ran into Tom Bristol at a local bookstore where she got an audiobook about his pirate adventures - Under the Black Ensign.

She promptly listened to it, intrigued by Bristol's persuasive personality.

Here is what she says:

"My commute is fairly long so I have already had the pleasure of listening to my audiobook. I enjoyed every aspect. The narrative was strong and the sound effects were engaging. The plot included just enough swashbuckling, character development and of course, a touch of love."

L. RON HUBBARD'S UNDER THE BLACK ENSIGN

Tom Bristol coming to life out of a story by L. Ron Hubbard

Who is Tom Bristol?

That's right, he was sentenced to one hundred lashes by the Lord High Governor aboard the HMS Terror and escaped certain death by a narrow margin. Saved by a crew which sailed under the black ensign, a flag with a grinning skull against an ebon field, Bristol took command of the pirate crew after proving himself a worthy pirate and returned to exact revenge on the Lord High Governor who had planned a gruesome death for him.

Now, Bristol shows up in Los Angeles to give patrons of a bookstore a taste of his adventures and we were so lucky as to get a few shots of him—in action!

Tom Bristol telling the locals about the book which contains the account of his adventures aboard the Falcon, sailing the waters of the Caribbean, while he is chased by the English who had placed a prize on his head.

Stories from the Golden Age Book Signing

Jim Meskimen, the director of the Stories from the Golden Age audiobooks - 80 in all - was in Philadelphia for a signing of these audios.

Meskimen says about the process of recording all 80 audios, over 150 stories, "we were all there together - the actors, the technical team, myself - united to bring off the full range of emotional impact from Hubbard's fiction. Being in such close proximity heightened the effect beyond our expectations."

He further comments on the actors who were involved in this project, stating that "this new process has attracted world-class performers from radio drama, animation and live theater. I can't imagine a better crew of actors."

So it was that when he arrived in Philadelphia for the book signing, people were lining up in droves to get their own copies, signed by Jim, who did an incredible job bringing together 60 actors and actresses to create a theater of the mind that is now captured on the Stories from the Golden Age audiobooks.

Here are some shots of Jim in action:
