Who Goes There? Revisited
from Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi · host Tony Tellado
🎙️ A deep‑freeze dive into the classic that birthed The Thing. In this episode, we crack open the ice around one of science fiction and horror’s most influential stories: John W. Campbell’s 1938 novella Who Goes There?—the chilling foundation for The Thing from Another World (1951), John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), and the 2011 prequel. Joining us is Anthony Rotolo, founder of Rocket Ride Books and producer of the acclaimed Who Goes There audiobook. Together, we revisit the making of that audio production, explore the enduring terror of Campbell’s Antarctic nightmare, and reflect on why this story continues to mutate and survive across generations of genre fans. This episode also features select clips from the audiobook, offering listeners a taste of the isolation, paranoia, and creeping dread that define the tale.
