Wives always try to cure husbands of bad habits, even on lonely asteroids! The Addicts by William Morrison, that\\u2019s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
The Lost Sci-Fi podcast has hit #2 on Apple Podcasts in the Cayman Islands, #3 in Belarus, and we\\u2019ve recently been #3 in Poland, Denmark, #6 in Brazil and #9 in Australia! Thanks to all our loyal listeners wherever you are.
We have several more 5-star reviews on Apple Podcasts. This review comes from SasquatchSieber, \\u201cBest Classic Sci-Fi Out There! Greetings from Okinawa, Japan. I am hooked on this podcast! I love how the owner gives us history of the author. His voice is perfect for the stories! I have binge-listened to all the podcasts and now cannot wait for each weeks\\xad\\xad\\xad\\xad\\xad additions!\\u201d Thanks SasquatchSieber!
And this 5 star rating and review comes to us from ThatsMeMomLetMeIn via Apple Podcasts Ukraine, \\u201cAlways a highlight in my weekly listen. I don\\u2019t remember how exactly I found this podcast, but I fell in love with it right away, probably after the first two paragraphs of the narrated story I listened to first. I have a rather big list of podcasts I\\u2019m subscribed to, but whenever I see an update from the Lost Sci-Fi, it immediately gets to the first position in my listening queue. Great selection of SciFi works, unparalled narration where everything only adds up to creating a very enjoyable listening experience: the narrator\\u2019s deep and clear voice, just the right speed of the narration, and a perfect balance between narrating and voice acting. Are there any plans to include works originally written in languages other than English?\\u201d Thank you ThatsMeMomLetMeIn for your review. Most vintage sci-fi was written in English and then translated into foreign languages and distributed around the world. But who knows what the future holds?
