Thanks to podcast listener blablahyaddayadda for their recent 5-star rating and comment on Apple Podcasts, “Exceptional. The best scifi podcast I’ve come across. Fantastic stories are one thing, but I can’t count the number of times I have been disappointed by the quality of the voice acting. I am very happy to say, that the standard of both contained within these episodes is top notch. As is often the case, there are often elements within classic scifi that don’t age particularly well for numerous reasons, but they are few and far between. I think I will be blasting through the entire catalogue in no time and left waiting in anticipation for the next weekly addition. Great work!” Thanks blablahyaddayadda for your glowing review. We would love it if you’d be kind enough to leave us a review wherever you listen to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast or send us an email, [email protected]. Paul Ernst was born in West Peoria, Illinois on the 7th of November 1899. Ernst wrote 4 short stories that were published in 1928 and 29, then picked up the pace considerably with more than 120 stories in the 1930s, with only 3 more in the 1940s. He is not the same Paul Ernst as the Paul Ernst born in 1886 who wrote detective novels in the 1930s. Our story today comes from the November 1931 edition of Astounding Stories magazine. You can purchase a copy of the magazine on eBay for $120 or on AbeBooks.com for only $75.
