Sudapod Episode 833 October 21st, 2022

This week's story Cock crowed in by Todd Robbins.

Hello everyone, welcome to Sudapod, the weekly horror podcast. I'm Alistair,

your host, and this story was first published in the collection who wants a green bottle

and other uneasy tales in 1926. Let's talk about Todd Robbins for a sec.

That is the pen name of Clarence Aaron Robbins born 1888, died 1949.

He authored two short story collections and several novels. His work often contains bizarre and

frightening plots, sometimes influenced by writers like Oscar Wilde and Robert W. Chambers.

His novel The Unholy Three was twice adapted for the screen and his story Spurs,

which we ran as Sudapod Episode 653, was used by Todd Browning as the basis for the infamous 1932 horror

movie Freaks. Robbins emigrated to the French Riviera from New York City and refused to leave

during the Nazi occupation of France. He spent the war in a concentration camp and he died in

Sound John Capforah in 1949. Your narrator this week is our very own Wilson Fowley.

Wilson is an astonishing audio producer, a remarkable voice talent and genuinely one of the

nicest human beings I know, and I know an awful lot of human beings. It's a pleasure to have him

aboard. Thanks for doing this for us buddy. So without further ado, we have a story for you

and we promise you, it's true.
