KLS discusses her work on the audiobooks in this article, which I wanted to post on the Sleepy Hollow thread, but the search engine led me to a different thread and then I tried scrolling through to find it. And then I gave up when I saw this one.

It's really extraordinary just how many errors are to be found in this short article. I realize it isn't Kathryn's job to keep the basic facts of DS history at her own fingertips even though she often seems to think of herself as a leading spokeswoman for the series, but at one time, journalists would do some basic fact-checking when composing an article of this kind.

I see nothing at all about the Frid documentary. Presumably Mary O'Leary did mention it in her presentation but the reporter may have failed to pick up on it.

In the version of the myth I remember from my childhood reading of Edith Hamilton, the blood from Medusa's severed head took form as the beautiful winged horse Pegasus. What I learned in my adult explorations of Greek mythology is that there were numerous versions of the old myths in circulation back in ancient times. These are dispersed in a really random way in various old authorities such as Apollodoros and Pausanias who traveled about and almost invariably introduce some odd new variant they've heard in their peregrinations with the phrase, "but some say..."

This one from the "Spooky Stories" series has some sound effects distinctly reminiscent of DS:

From 1978. I was in college at this time and completely oblivious of this particular series.

It's fascinating to hear that.

I vaguely recall these and we might have even cut one out of the back of the cereal box. Was it a Cowsill's record? I know it wasn't Bobby. It's such a vague memory that it might not be something I am recalling for real. I'd forgotten all about these.

Thanks for sharing the link, Midnite!

That's great that you met Bridget Hanley and Robert Brown. I always thought Brown was sexy in a kind of rugged way, and I thought Bridget looked so wholesome and genuine. I remember reading back in the teen mags day that Bridget married a producer and presumably retired after Brides went off the air.

What an awful name for a band--"The New Establishment." Wasn't the old Establishment bad enough?

I thought Seattle was a nice, upbeat song. I think I may have seen one episode of Here come the brides but it did nothing for me. Robert Brown (who also appeared in a strange Star Trek story that I seem to recall involved Parallel Time) was the male lead on the show. Bobby had a supporting role. Joan Blondell who was always great fun was in it, along with Mark Lenard and others--I'd completely forgotten David Soul was in the cast.

It was linked from this blog, which seems to have gone dark around the time the people involved started their DS project, in 2016. This is an interesting article which mentions Ed Gross who wrote some DS books as well.

Yes, somebody with extreme fortitude and devotion is now doing a "blog" series on the Ross novels.
