Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak

from The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories · host Scott Miller

Mr. Meek was having his troubles. First, the educated bugs worried him; then the welfare worker tried to stop the Ring Rats' feud by enlisting his aid. And now, he was a drafted space-polo player—a fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life. Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Another first for our podcast today, back to back episodes by the same author featuring the same character. Yesterday Clifford D. Simak’s Mr. Meek got himself in a little trouble and today the mild mannered bookkeeper from Earth finds himself in another pickle. From Planet Stories magazine in the fall of 1944 our space-faring hero’s journey begins on page 56, Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we will do something we have never done on the podcast, and something we may never do again. =========================== Buy Me a Coffee - https://lostscifi.com/coffee Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/free/ Facebook - https://lostscifi.com/facebook YouTube - https://lostscifi.com/youtube X - http://Lostscifi.com/x Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostscifiguy Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/lostscifipodcast.bsky.social Merchandise - https://lostscifi.creator-spring.com/ =========================== Thanks to Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee $200 Someone $100 Tony from the Future $75 James Van Maanenberg $50 MizzBassie, Anonymous Listener $25 Someone, Someone, Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener $15 Every Month Someone $15 SueTheLibrarian, Joannie West, Amy Özkan, Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener $10 Anonymous Listener $5 Every Month Eaten by a Grue $5 TLD, David, Denis Kalinin, Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous Listener https://lostscifi.com/podcast/mr-meek-plays-polo-by-clifford-d-simak-episode-327/ Listen without commercials and enjoy exclusive bonus episodes every month with Lost Sci-Fi Premium—start your free 7-day trial today. https://lostscifi.supercast.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
