Episode Details

The humblest events sometimes result from the most grandiose beginnings. You'd never imagine space travel starting this way, for instance! Two Weeks in August by Frank M. Robinson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Thanks for another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts! DSBoston1 says, “ Great! Although the original Star Trek is almost considered “vintage”; by now, these stories go back even further. Short compelling tales, read perfectly by Scott with no unnecessary bells and whistles. You can of course tell that these were written in a very different time. But, that’s part of the educational process, learning about the roots of sci-fi and how its changed. Thank you Scott.”
