Today on the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we will do something we have never done, and something we may never do again. An episode swap with another podcast. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Several of you have suggested we do an episode swap with another podcast and today your request has been fulfilled. We’ve been approached before but never felt like it was a good fit, until now.

We wouldn’t do an episode swap with just any podcaster, we had to find a quality podcast that we knew you would enjoy. I am excited to share an episode from Just Chills - Short Scary Stories, a horror podcast featuring classic stories from writers like Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and M R James. If you enjoy stories that make your pulse quicken and send a chill down your spine, this is the perfect treat for you. So, sit back, maybe leave a light on, and dive into this spooky tale. And don’t forget, if you enjoy this story, subscribe to Just Chills wherever you get your podcasts. The link is in the description.

From the author of Dracula, a student seeks solitude in a small village with an isolated old house. But the rats decide to keep him company... The Judge's House by Bram Stoker, here’s Taesha from Just Chills…

Mr. Meek was having his troubles. First, the educated bugs worried him; then the welfare worker tried to stop the Ring Rats' feud by enlisting his aid. And now, he was a drafted space-polo player—a fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life. Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Another first for our podcast today, back to back episodes by the same author featuring the same character. Yesterday Clifford D. Simak’s Mr. Meek got himself in a little trouble and today the mild mannered bookkeeper from Earth finds himself in another pickle.

From Planet Stories magazine in the fall of 1944 our space-faring hero’s journey begins on page 56, Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we will do something we have never done on the podcast, and something we may never do again.
