In episode one, Robo & Greg tease the hell out of the series.

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 (and the more inclusive Sin & Sci-fi...), but all the videos are now back online.

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 Robo & 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".

RIP GREG JAVER
