Episode Details

The Sexual Morality Act was fierce to buck, but the Algolian sex surrogate was ... er ... even fiercer!… Accept No Substitutes by Robert Sheckley, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The aliens looked cute as Koalas. But there was a little matter of a graveyard of dead space-ships. The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson.
