Today our second special show about the biggest Science Fiction series in the world, predating Star Trek and Dr. Who and everything else.

Guests are first-time SLer Verena Themsen and Robert Corvus, by now a veteran of our world (who does not remember me and him falling through the sky in a vintage golf cart? Well I do!)

We will check in with Verena and Robert on the new Fragmente Season (3200 - 3300) and how the logistics work that make it possible to publish Perry Rhodan every single week.

This German “Heftroman” series (kind of like a dime novel) has been continously running since its inception in 1961.

Many international editions came and went (with Japanese and French and a few other versions still being successfully published on a regular basis) and now with Perry Rhodan NEO, the folks from J-Novel Club are bringing back the Rhodan universe in English.

Show starts as per usual at 12pm SLT.
