The latest short story from the StarShip Sofa podcast is a tale first published in the January 1970 issue of “Worlds Of If” magazine. It garnered a nomination for a Nebula in its time and still holds power. Host Tony C. Smith sez we should be able to download all of these tales from the SSS wbsite on a sub-page he’s dubbing “Aural Delights.” Cool!
