In memory of the late Greg Javer, all the old Sin & Sci-fi in the 60s: The France Books Universe episodes have returned to YouTube and the interview portions posted as audio here. Sin & Sci-fi in the 60s: The France Books Universe (née France Books' Paperback Writers) *was* a video podcast and nearly a book. It has hence spun off into Space-age Erotica: Epic Obscenity, but now known simply as Sin & Sci-fi... The focus of the show is now primarily on Epic Books, France Books older brother, but a renewed interest in France is also taking place. The writers at both publishers of adult books ranged from science fiction authors, a future true crime writer, the comic book writer and artist who helped create Marvel's Black Widow, to the most prolific Canadian author ever.

    Erik Knear & Michael E. Knerr - Ep. 14

    R__ chats with musician Erik Knear about his oeuvre, and about his late father, France writer Michael E. Knerr. Some samples of Erik's work: "Its All Adding Up" https://youtu.be/feaDaexlCPk?si=lr7vWDHNItImPlM7 "Pi (Between He4ven and 3arth)" https://youtu.be/Rftfl26n96E?si=W4jX5SZ1gXB2P2jT "Michael Knerr" https://youtu.be/zvNp99xNcAI?si=zY_La7v4RaIC-S-x "What Was That You Said To Me" https://youtu.be/rcq5ERzWok8?si=_0GYiU0T1lYMk_so And just because Erik made me feel nostalgic and said the magic word, an anagram of abracadabra: https://youtu.be/wfqz9GnMyQ0 *** Sin & Sci-fi in the 60s: The France Books Universe *was* a video podcast & was nearly a book. Discover the fascinating characters surrounding International Publications, Inc., the publisher of sordid novels (and men's magazines) from 1962-1963 under the France Books banner. A publisher who would become a renowned biker, a fellow who would later have the audacity to claim he schtupped his pal James Dean, the man who co-created comic book heroine Black Widow, the most prolific Canadian writer ever, & a Who’s Who of science fiction writers all repped by editor/agent Forrest J Ackerman (the man who coined the shortened term “sci-fi”), and many, many others, including a writer whose earlier publisher was sued for libel in the amount of $750,000 by a former king of Egypt! Join hosts R__ & Greg as they dig deep sixty years back to unearth the hidden past. They're both Ed Wood fans & won't let up 'til they find Wood in one of the "France 75". #entertainment #booktube Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Jean Marie Stine - Ep. 5

    R__ and Greg talk with writer-editor-publisher Jean Marie Stine. She might not have written for France…but she knew a lot of folks that did! And she knew the agent of many of them, too. From Edgar Rice Burroughs to Ed Wood, Jr., from Ace Books to Essex House. Did Bjo Trimble save Star Trek…or was it Martin Luther King, Jr.? Tune in and relive the sin and the sci-fi of the 60s. (Bonus points for knowing who played Captain Kirk on Star Trek!--Hahaha!) A reprint of Marie Jean's Season of the Witch: https://www.amazon.com/Season-Witch-Transgender-Futuristic-Classic/dp/1600893198 (The original from 1968 will set you back a pretty penny on the second-hand market.) Memory Run (1995) aka Synapse (based on Marie Jean's book): https://youtu.be/IpQm22XWv0o W.E.D.

It has hence spun off into Space-age Erotica: Epic Obscenity, but some of the S&SF60s videos, particularly interviews and those related to Epic such as this one are still online.
