Beyond Lies the Wub by Philip K. Dick - ...

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

The slovenly wub might well have said: Many men talk like philosophers and live like fools. Beyond Lies the Wub by Philip K. Dick, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. 


Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, this one from Archoneponymous who says, “Great Narration. This podcast has excellent stories told well.” Thank you Archoneponymous!


This 5 star review is from the Podcast Addict app, posted by Jesse Willis, “I UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMEND THE LOST SCI-FI PODCAST. Host and narrator Scott Miller is an excellent audiobook narrator. His choice of stories is top tier. There are new episodes twice a week, all episodes are complete and unabridged audiobooks! His is the best new podcast of the 2020s.”

Wow! Thanks Jesse!


Your reviews are one of the reasons our podcast continues to grow, so thank you, and if you haven’t already given us a 5 star review, we would love it if you would, if you think we deserve it of course.


Leber8tr bought us $25 worth of coffee and had this to say, “Great story telling! Thank you for hours and hours of audio entertainment.” Thank you Leber8tr! There’s a link in the description if you’d like to contribute.


We are thankful for you. Please don’t ever forget that.

There was no fanfare when this story was released since nobody knew who Philip K. Dick was at the time. It wasn’t the first story he had written but it was the first story that was ever published in a science fiction magazine. Let’s open the pages of the July 1952 issue of Planet Stories Magazine to page 69 for Beyond Lies the Wub by Philip K. Dick… 


You can’t ever go wrong narrating a story by Philip K. Dick, who remains the most popular author on our podcast with Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov gaining ground. Clever and fun are the words I would use to describe Beyond Lies the Wub. I narrated the story simply because I enjoyed it and it was written by PKD.

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Martians were weak, sensitive, a dying race, frail and impotent before the superiority of master Earthmen. Only in the sly and mentally skillful game of Duchal might sons of the red planet emerge gloriously from their shells. Alien Equivalent by Richard R. Smith, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
