The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley and Time for Survival by George O. Smith

Somebody once came up with a song title we have never forgotten: “For every man there is a woman, so why did I gel stuck with you?” Not that Mr. Morcheck felt that way about Myra. He not only believed she was absolutely perfect; you could get a punch in the nose for doubting it! And he was so right—for a while! The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Actually we have two stories for you today on the podcast. We’ll start with Robert Sheckley, from the pages of Amazing Stories in December 1953, let’s go to page 118, The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley… Up next, a time travel story from the pages of Fantastic Universe magazine in December 1960, Time For Survival by George O. Smith… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Jeremy got to Mars, all right, but nobody else came back. And so people would not believe he had actually been there at all. Never on Mars by John Wyndham. =========================== 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 All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee $200 Someone $75 James Van Maanenberg $50 Anonymous Listener $25 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 Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener $10 Anonymous Listener $5 Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous Listener https://lostscifi.com/podcast/the-perfect-woman-by-robert-sheckley-episode-276/ 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.
