    Tomorrow we’ll kick off the month of October with a new short sci-fi story every day. That’s 32 straight days with a new episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast!
    During his lifetime, Isaac Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. We will hear from all three of these fabulous authors in consecutive days in October.
    Today we go back to the days when the U.S. launched its first satellite and NASA was established. You could buy a bleacher seat to see the New York Yankees win their 18th World Series title for $2.10. Gas was 30 cents a gallon in the US, and the Peace Symbol was designed by a British textile designer named Gerald Holtom for use by England's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
    The year was 1958 and nuclear war was on the mind of author Isaac Asimov. From the pages of the paperback publication Time To Come edited by August Derleth, The Pause by Isaac Asimov…
    Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, As curator of the Twentieth Century Exhibit, George Miller felt that to do a good job he had to live his work. Then, one day, somebody got into his exhibit, and he went to investigate… Exhibit Piece by Philip K. Dick. That’s tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

    I loved the way ths story ended. A very interesting concept. I think we'd be driven back to a subsistence lifestyle if radioactivity disappeared today.

    I love the way Asimov uses an overhanging Cold War threat ...from an ever present cunning enemy 😊

      Asimov was born in Russia during their Revolution so it was very much pervasive in his mind and works.

    I'll admit to thinking that this was a bit clichéd, even for the '50's - but he turned it around in the last 2 or 3 minutes!

    Weakness in story:
    Radioisotopes essential in ca ncer therapy! No radioactivity, no treatment beyond chemo😢

    Buy them “a cup of coffee”? You mean just hand them money?

      Some people choose to say thanks by buying us a coffee, it's strictly voluntary, and if you don't want to do it, you don't have to. Thanks for listening!!

      @VintageSciFiAudiobooks  Před 3 měsíci

      @DavidMyers-bl9gx here's the funny thing about ads. CZcams put ads on our channel and we had no idea. It's actually in the terms of service that CZcams can put ads on your videos anytime they want to, and they keep the money. So we requested monetization and now we get paid for the ads. Another funny thing, we place fewer ads in the videos than CZcams does so there are actually fewer interruptions that there would be if CZcams was in control. Having said all that I understand how jarring the ads can be when you're trying to sleep and I'm sorry that's the case. You can get CZcams premium which I am told eliminates the ads for a few dollars a month. Thanks for listening!!

There are step by step detailed instructions on my website if you want to give it a try. Pick something out you'd like to try and I'll create a code so you can listen to it for free. That way you haven't lost anything if you can't get it to work for you.
