That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Special thanks to Paul Belcher for his 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, “My New Favorite Podcast. I’m so impressed with this unassuming, yet extremely entertaining podcast.

It’s been fun rediscovering classics and hearing some of the more obscure authors for my first time. Thanks Scott - I appreciate your hard work and dedication!” Paul we appreciate your spectacular review and thanks for listening!!
