BY CLARK ASHTON SMITH: a reading. In this episode we perform Smith's first story of Zothique, the last continent of dying Earth (20:05). Necromancy restores an entire extinct people in that dimly-seen future world. The unlawful raising of the dead exemplifies the most evil extreme of forbidden Black magic and sorcery, a Cosmic affront to the Universe-- with an inevitable Karmic kickback of equivalent retribution-- as we shall see. Your comments are invited. After this, guest Kimmie Joan offers opinions on a multitude of subjects as we share soda-pop-- and memories. Archival material comes next, with a slight overlay, including rare KPFA Puzzling Evidence recordings of the late Dr. Ygrundas Quimby, Dr. H. Owl's younger brother, a.k.a. Jeffrey Hull Robins (obit. 2002). We round off the podcast hosting special guest KrOB, always welcome on the show. This is our first podcast following our Summer tour, itself interrupted by an assault of COVID, now vanquished but then the cause of the derailing of the first stop on the aforementioned tour. Be sure not to miss RELOADIO, circa 10PM on Saturday night. Go t the Facebook Reloadio Page to follow and for download instructions... CAUTION: Do not be cowed by a squirt of Dead Air which unaccountably occurs before the reading begins. We are plagued, as often noted, by the frequent failure of the digital instrumentalities of the underlying System.
