This 5-star review was posted by Doctorwoo on Apple Podcasts Canada, “Bingeable Classic Sci-Fi. Wow. Just wow! I have put all my other extensive podcast listening on hold, and I’m listening only to past episodes of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Thanks to Scott for accompanying me on my winter runs, weight lifting sessions, and chores around the house. Scott’s selection of stories is right on the money, and his voice and characterizations are the work of a master. Thank You!” Thank you Doctorwoo!! When we launched The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our goal was to spotlight truly forgotten science fiction short stories—many of which had never been narrated before. But we’ve been listening to you, and your requests have taken us in unexpected directions. H. P. Lovecraft’s stories have been recorded many times, so we hadn’t planned to include them. However, your enthusiasm made us rethink that decision, and now we realize this is a story we should have shared long ago. So here it is—thanks to you!From the September 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, our eerie tale can be found on page 556, The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What if you had the power to change reality with a single thought?
