On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we play the conclusion to The Moon Weed by Harl Vincent. I read a story sent in from Price, Utah that warns, “Antiquers Beware!”, and Tom has another growing-up memory to wind up the show. Also, I answer the question, “Why?” Will I get it right? Listen to the show to find out.

Featured Story – The Moon Weed by Harl Vincent

Our featured story is called The Moon Weed. It first appeared in Astounding Stories #20 from August of 1931. This week we will hear the conclusion. In part one we met Carl Vanderventer, “Van” for short, who is a scientist that figured out a way to extract items from the moon with ray beams. He unwittingly brings seed pods back and unleashes an army of plant-beasts on the world. He now fights for earth’s very survival and against the tightening web of voracious carnivorous plants that seemingly can’t be killed.

RAS #383 – The Moon Weed Part 1

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we have a discussion about radium, an update on the fabled UFO show, and we talk a bit more about how I put the podcast together. Our stories this week are amazing! We have beer drinking ghost, hard-souls on a carpet, and killer weeds from the moon. Also, Tom Williams is back with a fable he calls Life’s Perspective.

Featured Story – The Moon Weed – Part 1

A super scientist pits himself against the tightening web of the Plant-Beasts that he himself released from the Moon. Would he be able to save the world from a creature that seemingly can’t be killed?
