Critically Acclaimed Podcast Adds Additional Features to Serve New Pulp Community
(April 3, 2013) White Rocket Books proudly announces that
the critically-acclaimed weekly podcast, The
White Rocket Podcast with Van Allen Plexico, immediately will move to a
more New Pulp-oriented format and add additional features to more extensively
serve writers, artists, publishers and fans of the New Pulp community.
The White Rocket Podcast has proven
to be an unquestioned critical and listener success in its five-plus months “on
the air,” having received nearly five thousand discrete channel visits and
attracting hundreds of ongoing subscribers. It has been publicly
recognized for its organization and focus, production values, variety of topics
and guests, one-on-one discussion/interview format, and above all for its
entertainment and informational value.
After its first month in production,
the White Rocket Podcast was invited to join the Earth Station One (ESO) Network of programming, where it has prospered,
reaching an additional crossover audience with the New Pulp message and expanding
its presence in the market.
Each roughly one-hour-long episode thus
far has featured noted New Pulp author and publisher Van Allen Plexico (Sentinels;
Lords of Fire) discussing some aspect of popular culture with a special guest. Popular episodes have included the ongoing
series on “Superheroes in Novels and Beyond” and interviews with authors working
in the superhero pulp genre, such as Jeff
Deischer and Ian Healy.
New features
will include additional interviews with key figures in the New Pulp community
and industry; book reviews; audiobook segments and previews; occasional video interview
segments, as pioneered by White Rocket at the 2012 Windy City Pulp and
Paperback Convention; and the New Pulp Best Sellers List Discussion, examining that
week’s crop of best sellers.
Fans of the show can rest assured
that other popular topics, including action movie discussions with film critics
such as Mark Bousquet and novel
discussions with authors such as Mark
Finn, Rick Lai, and James Hickson,
will continue.
White Rocket Books is a leader in the New Pulp movement, publishing exciting
action and adventure novels and anthologies since 2005, in both traditional and
electronic formats. White Rocket books have hit the Amazon.com Top
15-by-Genre and reached #1 on the New Pulp Best-Sellers List, and have garnered
praise from everyone from Marvel Comics Vice-President Tom Brevoort to Kirkus
Reviews. The White Rocket Podcast, a member of the ESO Network of shows, began in October 2012.

Podcast can be found on iTunes (White Rocket Podcast) or at White Rocket’s home
