Listen "John Carter: A Princess of Mars"
Episode Synopsis
The fellas are going way back for this one, all the way back to 1912. A bad year to be a cruise ship, but maybe a good year to be a fan of science fantasy adventures? They're reviewing perhaps one of the most influential books they've ever seen on the podcast. Before Howard, before Lovecraft and C.L. Moore. Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars, the first appearance of John Carter.The fellas discuss the adventure, the very early attempt at fantasy worldbuilding, and of course.... the racism. Duncan takes a crack shot at historical revisionists, whilst Geordie hones on the idea of the Noble Savage.
