Hello and welcome to the Drabblecast, episode 474. The Dribble

cast is an audio fiction magazine that brings strange stories by strange

authors to strange listeners such as yourself.

I'm your host, Norm Sherman.

This week we bring you a classic tale in some dimension other than ours because you probably haven't heard of it,

but that's about to change.

We bring you exit the professor by Henry Cutner and see

more. Exit the professor is a hog-bent story one of a handful of tales written in

the 1940s about a mutant Hillbilly family in Kentucky.

What? I know, right? Yeah, the Hogbend stories, they're great.

Because we're not talking Hills have eyes kind of mutants here. I mean like

wide range of paranormal powers kind of mutants and maybe a hillock or two with an eye or three

Sunk is the narrator and a Gallagher-like inventor of extraordinary devices and his relations are Pa who's invisible, Uncle Les who can fly,

Little Sam who's a baby with multiple heads, Grandpa and Ma and that's enough backstory.

Let's get to the front of things.

This story originally appeared in Thrilling Wonder Stories, October 1947.

And if you like it, read more about the infamous Hillbilly Clan

and how Henry Cutner and C. L. Moore collaborated on their Pulpales in the Hogbends, Adam Age Appalachians.

Although you can just stick around Drabblecast too because this won't be the last you're hearing from them.

So, without further ado, we bring you,

exit the professor, by Henry the city might have known that, but he come busting in without an invite.

I don't figure he had a call to complain afterward.
