Last week was a record for us, more podcast listeners, and more CZcams listeners than ever before. We also received more emails, comments, ratings, and reviews. Thanks for your support.
keithstump1712 commented on a CZcams video, “These stories are greatly welcome here in the High Andes of Peru during our long winter nights.” Thanks Keith. Stephen sent us an email, “Greetings from Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada!”
It's been a delight to discover your podcast and storytelling. These stories have been keeping me company on my commute to work. Keep up the wonderful work bringing these old stories back to life and inspiring our imaginations.” Thank you, Stephen.
We love your comments on our CZcams channel and the emails you send us on lostscifi.com or scott@lostscifi.com.
We take requests, and many of you have requested that we go live on CZcams so next Thursday, July 20th at 4 PM US Eastern time we’ll be live on CZcams. We’ll do some narrating, answer any questions you have, and for the most part leave it up to you. If you want to send us questions in advance please do so, scott@lostscifi.com. That way you can get your question answered even if you can’t be with us live. That’s next Thursday, July 20th at 4 PM US Eastern time, 1 in Los Angeles and Vancouver, 3 PM in the Andes Mountains in Peru, and 9 PM in London. It should be fun; I hope you can join us.

Mr. Clark is one of those that likes to push the boundaries of peoples imagination.
I should like to have met him.
@owensthilaire8189 I agree, he would have been fascinating to talk to. Many years ago I was a radio talk show host and talked with a lot of interesting people. Loved spending an hour asking questions from people I never would have met any other way.
Excellent story....thanks,!!! Please ... more stories specially from Arthur C' Clarke....👍
There is a quality in good sci fi writers like Clark ...one gets transported " home" sacred geometry does the same when it mathematically constructs the opposite of a shape ...its bith hilarious and familiar 😂 😊 a great reading thanx
Thank you for both your comment and thanks for listening!!
Thank you Scott
@thunderace4588 Thanks for your comment and thanks for listening!!
Loved this one …it has much in common with Robert W Lowndes The Long Wall, from 1949 republished as Settlers Wall ,which is how l first came across it. Loved the character voices on this one l love when you do the old-timers voices….first class voice acting. 🤝.
@davidwhite7294 thanks for your comment and saying you love the old-timers voices. Such a nice thing to say, thanks for listening!!
Classic stories from the golden age. Love them.
@oldguy6976 thank you for saying so and thanks for listening!!
One of my absolute favourites! This is a real mind bender. Thank you for bringing it to life.
You're welcome and thank you. When I first read it I knew I had to narrate it. Thanks for your comment and thanks for listening.
It would be nice to hear Clarke's short story "The Sentinal", which gave us "2001" later on..
I agree but unfortunately it isn't in the public domain. Thanks for your suggestion and thanks for listening!!
Thank you for posting these amazing histories. Cheers from the retro futuristic city of Brasília, Brazil.
Glad you like them! Greetings to you from about 5,000 KM north of you near San Jose, Costa Rica.
Thank you, i just love sci fi and i love the narrator's voice.
Thank you for that very nice compliment! I love sci-fi too. Thanks for listening!!
Thank you!!!

Nice one from Manchester England 🏴
Thanks @Subyyyy12346!! Did you know that Manchester is one of the top 5 cities in the world for listening to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast? It's based on the total number of downloads of the audio podcast, I can't seem to find stats like that for CZcams listeners. Hope you can join us when we go live Thursday!
Another winner from you Scott! A classic story 😊
Thank you! I really enjoyed narrating The Wall of Darkness. The title intrigued me, then when I read it I knew I had to narrate it. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for listening!!

This is a very different ACC story. It has some emotional as well as scientific depth.
Really enjoyed it Scott.
Kim in Betelgeuse.

@Mi-yc3oy thanks for listening!!
What year????
And so the man goes forward, from and into near darkness in doubt with fleating dread as Cain. He traces the path of infinity itself to emerge at his point of origin. Knowing what is the structure marking the outer limits of his kinds existence, knowing the limitations of his feable journeys lengths and breadths.
Yet in the end, before his end the choice was not to preserve the experience for others, but to reaffirm that what is right of the Wall is all that is left to the imaginings of lifetimes before and after his own coming and going. Whereupon he dreampt of what you and I would recognize as an ant farm.
@jonathanroberts7108 you're going to have to explain that comment to me, please?
@@VintageSciFiAudiobooks Standard schoolboy effort to assemble symbolic intent of the author. Surely it isn't so much the type of story that stands as more an external struggle than an internal conflict. The walk is explained in its entirety,
The stairs were demolished, when there may or may not have been a risk of wandering around aimlessly. How could this not be evident., Where in the language of the comment were you wondering as to the interpretation.
I read the story and decide to narrate it. Then I get in the booth and do my best to bring it to life. I never stop to analyze it. You obviously enjoy looking at it in a different way than I do.
@@VintageSciFiAudiobooks You are obviously selling yourself short. What you have done is produced such a well done telling of the story in the reading and tweaking of the same, that naturally a person that hears it and wonders beyond the science therein, cannot help but contemplate what it all means..., Where are the lessons to be gleamed?
What is the writer attempting to illicit from the reader? Your views and comments and shares among those that like myself had read considerably more than one now reads could increase exponentially in an introduction from the POV with a shot in the dark at how some of these stories make you feel or what they remind you of., ie
(This story seems to lend to the plots of
The Truman Show
Dark City
At least one original Star Trek TV episode, most probably more., As is common in the use of devices in Sci Fi
I'd thought that the use of the name "Cain" had initially taken you away from the story and to that Good Book in your mindset.
You are very kind and I appreciate your analysis. Hope you can join us when we go live Thursday!
So Shervain and Braildon.... Braildon consructs the wall. Shervain goes over the wall apparently alone. Then Braildon is mentioned as going over it but returning before Shervain. Then destroys his ladder 🪜 over it? Seems stupid.
Sorry you didn't like it.
Nobody goes over the wall because there is no other side to it
😅
Thanks for listening!!
