DebMurphyBits also commented on \\u201cLet\\u2019s Get Together\\u201d \\u201cGood one!!!! I\\u2019ve listened to quite a few of your episodes now and why you don\\u2019t have hundreds of thousands of followers yet is beyond me. Great narrations and awesome story picks!! What timing this one is, now, with artificial intelligence coming together with robotics and the dawn of a real life technological revolution. Keep up the stories please\\u201d

Deb, we are thankful for you and every listener and follower we have. Hopefully those hundreds of thousands of followers you mentioned are on their way!

If you\\u2019ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you know Winston Marks is one of my personal favorites. He was a busy man from 1953 to 1955 with 46 stories published in a variety of magazines. Although our story originally appeared in Planet Stories magazine in 1953 it can also be found in Science Fiction Monthly published in Australia in September 1956. 

Let\\u2019s turn to page 25 in the November 1953 issue of Planet Stories magazine for Slay-Ride by Winston Marks\\u2026

In two days on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The wars of the far future will be fought with giant spaceships, but it will still take the infantryman to hold down the planets. And some of the thoughts bred in the foxholes of Mars or Alpha Centauri Duo or Rigel Tres will be fully as bitter as some of those dredged up in the foxholes of Earth. The Foxholes of Mars by Fritz Leiber.

That\\u2019s In two days on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
