This podcast is awesome. A great selection of stories from the golden age of science fiction that I would probably never have heard about if it weren't for this podcast. The narrator does an excellent job, with a clear and calm voice. Indispensable for true science fiction fans.” Thanks for listening and for your review DiverBR.Another 5-star review, this time from bwdesmo. “A legitimate top tier pod. I can’t do justice to how good this podcast is, truly. The host has an affect and vocal style that’s just perfect. The stories are buried gems, sure, there’s problematic vocabulary but you have to enjoy it in the spirit it’s offered. I LOVE seeing how creative people from 40-50 years ago, imagined how the world would exist. It’s just glorious and I love it.” Thanks, bwdesmo!Your reviews and 5-star ratings are making a difference in the number of listeners to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, and we thank you.
