Forward Into The Past: A Public Domain Stories Podcast
Join J.C. Rede as he travels back in time and brings to life the thrilling stories of adventure, mystery, sci-fi and fiction from the golden age of Dime Novels. These stories were originally published in various magazines and papers from the late 19th to the early 20th century, and they capture the imagination and spirit of a different era. Forward Into the Past is a podcast that celebrates the legacy and diversity of Dime Novels, from the early classics (1890-1930) to the later transformations (1930-1950). However, these stories are also products of their time and may reflect some outdated or offensive views and language. We ask you to listen with an open mind and appreciate these stories for what they are: a glimpse into the past through the lens of fiction.
