Making Golden Age Pulp Fiction Audio Books Part 1

It resulted in more than 160 hours of entertainment from the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction being recorded, edited, mixed and packaged in a collection of 80 audio books that are now published as books on cd. The making of one such an audio book is no small feat as this video shows what with music, special sound effects and background noises being added in along the way. See a glimpse of the incredible talent, direction and genius that went into the production of these L. Ron Hubbard pulp fiction audiobooks.

What are the Stories from the Golden Age? These are stories from the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction which reached its peak of popularity in the 1940s, but really had started in the 1920s. The sheer volume of tales released during this wondrous golden age remains unmatched in any other period of literary history—hundreds of thousands of published stories in over nine hundred different magazines. Some titles lasted only an issue or two; many magazines succumbed to paper shortages during World War II, while others endured for decades yet. Pulp fiction remains as a treasure trove of stories you can read, stories you can love, stories you can remember. The stories were driven by plot and character, with grand heroes, terrible villains, beautiful damsels (often in distress), diabolical plots, amazing places, breathless romances. The readers wanted to be taken beyond the mundane, to live adventures far removed from their ordinary lives—and the pulps rarely failed to deliver. This time period saw the emergence of many memorable characters such as Tarzan, King Kong, Conan—The Barbarian, Doc Savage, The Shadow and even Zorro. Hollywood has long since recognized the pure entertainment that jumps from the pages of these stories and has turned many such tales into blockbuster movies. As to the authors who penned them, some of the more lasting names include H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Max Brand, Louis L'Amour, Elmore Leonard, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner, John D. MacDonald, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein—and, of course, L. Ron Hubbard. For more information on the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction go here: Golden Age Stories FAQ http://www.goldenagestories.com/html/faq.php

This was cool to see. I had listened to Hubbard's audio book, "Under the Black Ensign" and wondered what it took to make it. The audio version was very exciting to listen to and very authentic. Thanks for posting this video, it gives me some insight into how audiobooks are done.

I enjoyed watching the video. It gives a great insight into how the CDs were made. It's especially exciting for me, because my generation wasn't TV, it was radio. In many ways I prefer it.

epic, very professional.

[dewarsinlondon]

Amazing how the mood and whole scene is created by sound alone. Great job!

[sandyg4]

What a fun project. Great to see the actual elements involved and the teamwork. I particularly enjoyed hearing the composer discuss how he created the different genres of music. And of course, it was obvious that the enthusiasm of everyone involved made for a great production.

Wow! I love the way you really captured the essence of that era! I used to love radio shows when I was a kid.

Great video!

I like to see how things are done. This is very interesting.

It's like the old record albums. They get all the artists around the microphone and they interact.

I've listened to 5 of the books on CD. They are very entertaining and great to listen to in my car. I am going to get all of them when they come out.

This was really well done. I loved seeing the actors doing the different voices and the sound effects. Thanks for making this!
