The Ars\xe8ne Lupin Podcast is coming along. If you haven\u2019t heard, I\u2019ll be releasing the first collection of Lupin stories as its own show. Wednesdays are about to get even better.\xa0

And now for something completely different.\xa0\xa0

I thought we\u2019d have a little bit of classic science fiction for a while. We\u2019re starting with a short story by Harry Harrison. The Stainless Steel Rat is his most well-known story, along with the Deadworld series. Originally released in the August 1957 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, the noir style of the story helps us to immediately know our protagonist, and the world he inhabits. I hope you like it.\xa0
