  • And Miles To Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan
    He knew, to the exact minute, when he was going to die. And Earth was too far away to reach…. And Miles To Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan... That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.More 5 star reviews on Apple Podcasts! This from FabRascal67, “Great, but… Love the storytelling. Keeps the mind busy during slow periods at work. My only complaint is I wish the covers weren’t done by AI.”Thanks FabRascal67!And this 5 star review is from Tiger101000, “Great stories… anti AI. Love the show! Perfect bedtime stories for the sci fi lover. Great narration. Disappointed in the AI episode covers.”Thanks Tiger101000!!Before The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our plan was to narrate these stories so people could buy them all over the world. The problem was not many people bought them. After working full time narrating these stories, and trading six months of my life to do so, we had made $180. My wife thought I was crazy. I thought about giving up, but then I decided to create new covers using AI. Like it or not people DO judge a book by its cover and the ones I created were horrible. AI didn’t make a difference, it made a huge difference and a few months later The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast was born. If it hadn’t been for those new AI images I would have given up and there would never have been a Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.My hope is that the audio you listen to on the podcast is of sufficient quality that you will overlook the images if you don’t like them.William F. Nolan returns to our podcast today with a really short story. You may remember Small World by Nolan, one of my favorites, which we released almost 3 years ago. From Infinity Science Fiction Magazine in August 1958, turn to page 88, And Miles To Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Sir Ian's proposal shocked them all.
