And eminently worth the hearing (archived at the link above
if you can't access it on the radio, or if you can), even if
Ardai didn't choose to correct Gross, et al.,'s pseudohip
misuse of "pulp" to describe the Gold Medal novels, etc. (I
believe Mike Ashley's on this list, and he has elsewhere
argued from strength that MANHUNT was a "neo-pulp" for the
1950s, but that's not the sort of usage or argument these
clowns are employing. It's Just Kool, doncha know.)
