Ralph EvansOctober 13, 1954 to January 5, 2012
I just found out that Ralph Evans has died, I've known him since 1990. He was a good friend who I could talk science fiction and computers with. I'm really going to miss you Ralph. He was a gamer who for a long time ran LAN parties at his home, at one point he even rented a building for the games because the group got so large. He helped keep the archives going because when our cable company stopped carrying KPFK he started taping Hour 25 on VHS and sending me the tapes. My thoughts and prayers are with you Ralph and your family. You can donate to Ralph's favorite charity by going to USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. |
Hour 25 is the longest-running broadcast show dealing with Science Fiction and related topics. It was created by Mike Hodel and Mitch Harding back in 1972. This web site is devoted to preserving the past as well as keeping a record of the show's future.
Hour 25 has a newsletter which you can get by E-Mail. To subscribe
Now that Hour 25 is exclusively on the web you can go to the official web site, www.hour25online.com and hear the current and many previous shows.
If you want to go back, way back, back into time; you can hear some audio clips from the "Good Old Days", just got to The Shows page and choose the year and date you're interested in. The list of shows has sound clip players for a number of broadcasts. You can also listen to my interview of Ron Kelly about his role on Battlestar Galactica; it's 23 minutes.
So what's available on this web site? Not much yet; but hang in there, something's bound to show up ... some year. :) "Patience Lieutenant, patience." At least I've found the first phone call about starting the Hour 25 archives.
Hmmm, I knew I had this somewhere. Here's a small excerpt from the Mark Hamil,
Harrison Ford interview on December 10, 1976. If anyone has the first half of
this show, about an hour or slightly more, I'd like to trade for it. :)
(Somehow after this long I doubt there's anything out there but what the
heck.) Enjoy.
Well, it's October 1, 2011, and I've actually found something to update this page. For those of us who love the “Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy,” here's an interesting take on it. You can click here to bookmark this player. Too bad it's only 7 minutes.
