      I don't know if he had this kind of general knowledge or if it's the result of him doing focused research when developing the story. But it does sound very impressive. I would like an actual expert in fossils and rocks to analyse his work to see how accurate it was or if there's a level of bluffing the layperson can't detect. I like to write and it's an amazing motivator to gain great knowledge in a very short space of time. But once the story is done I end up forgetting a lot of it, like studying for an essay.

      I noticed it too. It's something that could happen with cassette tapes and is probably audio from the other side. If you're listening to side A, audio from side B could leak through as they are literally side by side the entire length of the tape. I don't know if it's a problem with the tape itself or the playing head being misaligned.

      This narrator is amazing - Conrad Feiniger, you should also check out his excellent Shadow Over Innsmouth, and Colour out of space. The other main narrator is equally great in a different manner - Gordon Gould. He mainly did the shorter ones, like From Beyond, The Outsider and The Unnameable.

      Admiral Byrd had an operation in Antarctica like this except it was government funded and protected by war ships iirc
      They came back with their tails tucked between their legs
      Nowadays world leaders make pit stops in Antarctica for some reason… plenty of openings have been seen in satellite images… and plenty of rumors of what Byrd actually found besides “nothing to see here”
      So it’s probably based on true rumors at the time. We knew more and were allowed more back then. Now you can’t even fly over the pole for some reason even if you charter the flight yourself
