More great reviews from Spotify, Travis had this to say, “This podcast has become my very favorite, I listen to it every day and look forward to each episode, the narrator is relaxing and one of the best I have ever heard, I cannot wait to hear more!” Thank you, Travis!
Commenting on the Harry Harrison story, The Misplaced Battleship, Tony Wade says, “Interesting story. Top-notch production. A truly great podcast by any measure. The best sci-fi podcast around. Have you done “Nightfall” by Asimov?” Thanks for the awesome review, Tony. Unfortunately, Nightfall by Isaac Asimov is still under copyright which means we can’t record it; however, you will be happy to know that we have more Isaac Asimov stories on the way.
And a little-known fascinating fact about Asimov, when he was a teenager, he idolized author Jack Williamson who we featured yesterday with his story The Cosmic Express. Asimov was thrilled to receive a postcard from Williamson, which congratulated him on his first published story and offered these words "welcome to the ranks". How cool is that?
Our story can be found in Amazing Stories in June 1961 on page 36, Before Eden by Arthur C. Clarke…
Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The idea was to build an electronic gadget; that it turned out to be a rat trap was purely accidental. And that it turned out to have the highly undesirable effects it had. Rat Race by George O. Smith.That’s tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
