I have started a new podcast called The Hardy Boys Unofficial Fan Podcast.
SkyWarp was gracious enough to be the first guest on the podcast, and we discussed the 2020 Hardy Boys Hulu series.
If anyone has any other ideas for an episode, please let me know. When the originals hit public domain in 2022, I plan on doing some episodes comparing the originals and the rewrites.
I have submitted the podcast to Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts in Amazon Music, Pandora, Tune-in, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, and Listen Notes. You can listen to the podcast in any of those apps once its approved by that app. If you're impatient, its immediately available through PodBean - either in the app or on the website at https://hbunofficial.podbean.com/ (https://hbunofficial.podbean.com/).
Please give me any feedback you have.
edit: Update - it is now available through Amazon Podcasts in the Amazon Music app
Episode 1 is available here: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ffb5f745-4f2a-4ed7-9315-2e320118ee79/The-Hardy-Boys-Unofficial-Fan-Podcast (https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ffb5f745-4f2a-4ed7-9315-2e320118ee79/The-Hardy-Boys-Unofficial-Fan-Podcast) and here https://hbunofficial.podbean.com/ (https://hbunofficial.podbean.com/)
Cool! I hope it goes well. Reviews of the various Hardy Boys book series and media adaptations would be interesting. :) 8)

Just subscribed on Apple Podcast. :)
New episode is up - it's a short one that serves as an introduction to my analysis of the rewrites.
Exciting news - two of the ghost.writers have agreed to do interviews with me for the podcast.
So far its Gary Cohn, author of 47) Flight Into Danger, 92) Sabotage At Sea, and 104) Wild Wheels, and Bruce Whitehill, author of 17) The Number File.
Does anyone have some suggestions for questions?
Also, can anyone locate contact information for Larry Mike Garmon, Ron Goulart, Bill McKay, or Rick Oliver?
Update: Steven Gr.ant has agreed to an interview as well. He wrote 3) Cult of Crime, 6) The Crowning Terror, 14) Too Many Traitors, 19) Nightmare In Angel City, 29) Thick As Thieves, and 62) Final Gambit.
Here's Bill MacKay's Agent's contact. http://www.billmccay.com/about.html
And for Steven Grant, ask him if there were any further plans for Charity.
Please tell Mr. Grant that he wrote one of my all time favourite books in the series- Too Many Traitors. :) 8)

Can you ask Gary Cohn what Nancy Drew books he wrote? His Wikipedia article says he wrote two, but there's no info on what ones.

Let me know if you have any questions. He has done a previous interview available here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060318042729/http://www.hardy-boys.com/bg/8/bg_8_5.html (http://web.archive.org/web/20060318042729/http://www.hardy-boys.com/bg/8/bg_8_5.html)
How often did Casefiles require rewrites? What is meant by that term here? Minor edits or total rewrites of the book?
My understanding is the S&S or MegaBooks was unhappy with the manuscript the original writer turned in and would have someone else fix it before initial publication. This is not like the rewrites of the original 1-38 which took an already published book and updated it.
Okay. Thanks for clarifying.
Any questions for Larry Mike Garmon?

This was another great interview. A lot of interesting tidbits come out from these interviews of the various ghost writers.

The Number File is #17;
The Borgia Dagger is #13.
Right, that's what I meant
