About this episode

It was a lovable little creature, anxious to help solve the troubles of the world. Moreover, it had the answer! But what man ever takes free advice? The Creatures, and the Truth! Misbegotten Missionary by Isaac Asimov. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Did you know that you can leave comments on individual episodes on Spotify? Tonypegel had this to say, “Thanks for the Zenna Henderson. This is one of the reasons I love your podcast; it lives up to its name. If not for this podcast, many such worthy authors might be lost. Thanks for all you do and how well you do it.”


Thanks Tony, we appreciate your comment and sharing stories from lesser-known sci-fi authors is exactly why we started The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast! And don’t forget we take requests. Send us an email, scott@lostscifi.com


Every time we release an episode featuring a story by Isaac Asimov, it quickly becomes one of our most-listened-to episodes. You may know this story as Green Patches but when it was first published on page 34 in Galaxy Science Fiction in November 1950 it had a different name, Misbegotten Missionary by Isaac Asimov...


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A creature in the night hunting for fresh meat. Hunting in a way that never fails. A Prophecy of Monsters by Clark Ashton Smith.
