James P. Crow by Philip K. Dick

About this episode

It was a robots' world, run by soul-less heaps of haughty metal. But among the humans there was one — only one — who aspired to greatness; only one who stood the chance of breaking out of his subservient shell. He was the Time-Window Kid. ... He was James P. Crow. James P. Crow by Philip K. Dick. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In a distant, semi-barbaric kingdom, a young lover’s fate hinges on a cruelly ingenious trial: choosing between two doors, one hiding a ferocious tiger and the other concealing a beautiful bride. As the Kings daughter secretly signals her beloved toward a door, we are left to wonder—did her jealousy or love dictate the choice? The Lady, Or The Tiger? By Frank R. Stockton.
