Proof of the Pudding by Robert Sheckley

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

Your 5 star reviews are greatly appreciated. People who discover our podcast see your reviews and give us a chance, we are thankful for all your reviews.


M Coats recently gave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and says, “What are you waiting for? I found this podcast though my library’s app. But while my library app allows for 5 audio book check-outs a month, this podcast has no constraints. The audio is clear, the stories and well read, and the selection is varied enough that I have not heard most of these stories. I am only a recent listener, but I am already 30 episodes in.”


Thanks M Coats, we’re glad you found us.


Kezzathezombie left a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts Australia. Kezza had this to say, “Magnificent! In a world of true crime, history buffs and self help gurus, this is such a breath of fresh air. Each episode brings a new adventure filled with social parody and old world charm. Perfect for anyone with an imagination and a sense of adventure.”


Thanks Mr. zombie, or is that Mrs. zombie?

Robert Sheckley is one of my favorite vintage sci-fi authors and he doesn’t disappoint in today’s tale, taken from Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in August 1952. Discover this intriguing story on page 41, Proof of the Pudding by Robert Sheckley


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, This could be a Christmas story. If it is, it shows one way Peace on Earth can be attained! Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans.
