The Good Husband by Evelyn E. Smith - Sci Fi Short Stories From the 1950s
Ellen’s husband was so quiet and self-effacing she could almost picture him apologizing for the inscription on his own tombstone. The Good Husband by Evelyn E. Smith, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
We love hearing from you, whether it’s on Spotify, YouTube or when you send us an email. Hearing from our listeners all over the world is so gratifying. Peter Schreyer from Antwerp, Belgium says, “As a visually impaired person with frequent painful cornea erosions, listening to the lost Sci-Fi podcast keeps me sane in my difficult moments. I give you a 5 out of 5!!” Thanks Peter, sorry to hear about your vision issues and we are happy to help you during the most challenging times.
It’s emails like Peter’s that keep us excited to be narrating new stories and we would love it if you’d let us know what you think about the podcast, send us an email, scott@lostscifi.com.
The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has evolved over the last two years based on feedback from you! Our intros are, for the most part, shorter than they were when we started and the endings of each episode are now shorter too, thanks to you.
We’ve done longer stories because you’ve asked for them and today we’re going to fulfill a request we get a lot. A super short story, all by itself, and the shortest episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast ever. If you have comments or suggestions we would love to hear your ideas, scott@lostscifi.com.
This is another one of those stories that I fell in love with as soon as I started reading it and knew I had to share it with you. Let us open the shabby old pages of Fantastic Universe Magazine 69 years ago, August 1955 to be specific, and discover our short story about wedded bliss, The Good Husband by Evelyn E. Smith…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The Big Wheels of tomorrow will be men who can see the big picture. But blowouts have small beginnings… The Engineer by Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth
