# 181 Monster on Mandrake pt5 - Davies + Dr. Atomic - Saunders & Oddcube!
I hope you're ready for part five and the conclusion to Colin P. Davies serialized "The Monster On Mandrake Street"! Colin has weaved an exciting fast paced tale set on his Pestworld where our protagonist Parvo has maneuvered himself into the position of Head Pestmeister. However that title comes with a hefty price and the coin is Parvo's own nightmares. I can tell you now that you will not be disappointed by the last installment or CrystalWizard's production. But first we have a tale writ...

#178 Monster on Mandrake St. pt2 - Colin Davies + Letters - Kopaska-Merkel
Here we go, for week two of the Halloween season! Two stories for your listening pleasure this week. First I open with a tune from the Atlanta Rhythm Section titled Alien. This is one that I never though of as outright science fiction, and really is more about feeling like you don't fit in. But think about it, who better to feel like they are left out of everything that our proverbial Alien?! Works for me! lol. Our first story is a piece of flash fiction from David Kopaska-Merkel called "...

Are you ready for the start of the silly season on Beam Me Up? Well good, because we have an hour jam paced with good old fashion strangeness. Our first story is by Tim Sayell reading his very funny "A Single Snapped String" Sayell loves to play with words so you will get a good measure with this short tale. We close the hour by revisiting Colin P. Davies' Pestworld with an exclusive five part tale called The Monster on Mandrake Street. Davies takes out all the stops in this new story. Int...

# 176 Lobos - Shaun A. Saunders + Time is Leaking out of the Universe!!!

Saunders who revisits his “Looking for the Future that was” universe. Shaun expands on the original theme of an errant traveler looking for an idealized future to a boy just entering manhood following in the path of an almost forgotten grandfather and again finding a future far more shocking than any of the movies or pulps had ever hinted...

Beside Still Water - Robert Sheckley + Worthy Cause - A.K. Sykora
Are you ready for some Sci Fi?! cool. In episode 173 we dig deep into the wayback bag and pull out a 1953 story by Robert Sheckley called "Beside Still Waters" Much in the vein of Resnick's Robots Don't Cry or Articles of Faith you will see s common thread run through these stories. I love the story where the protagonist steps outside the restrictions of their nature to show us the true human condition. Asimov was a master at writing about robots, but his failing was in describing the human...

You all set for some entertainment? lol Well this week episode 171 is Part 4 of Colin P. Davies Pest World story and our friend Parvo manages to get himself in deep!

Beam Me Up episode 169 is a good honest 60 minutes this week and with a minimum of fill!  We start off this week with CrystalWizard reading Shaun Saunders' "The Sale" which as you will recognize is based in his Fabcola/Mallcity universe.  But Saunders has given this short story a decidedly deviant twist.  The set up is simple enough, what would happen if you dialed a wrong number?  As simple as that sounds, Saunders' character, looking for someone in the "service sector" and ...
