The low end on this recording is too heavy. The overall sound of the audio is quite muddy. Did you tweak the EQ to make your voice sound less nasal on this recording?
@@johnnyc.8256 That would be awesome! I Love Robert Sheckley's short stories and this is the only one I have read that has left me a bit confused. Maybe I am trying to think too much into it and it is simple
It is quite simple, he could only be talking about one thing, the only thing that can be made with use of a stainless steel belt buckle, a tungsten filament, 3 hens eggs and 12 chemicals that are readily available from a human body. I hope this clears everything up for you, if I can be of any further use, please let me know.
johnny c has a cruel sense of humor, I see. There's no trick to figure out, it's just a literary trick and a bad one at that. "Well, I don't need to explain this, because of course you've all heard about it already" is a lazy way to avoid having to actually write a proper explanation to anything - unless maybe you're doing it as deliberate parody or humor ala Baron Munchausen or one of those endless "However did you survive?" "I didn't, I died." tavern stories. Every review of this piece criticizes the ending, and for good reason.
Sheckley is one of the greatest satirists of our age. Since he had the lead story in this issue, he was asked to submit FOREVER as well for inclusion under a pseudonym, Ned Lang. This freed him up to f w the readers minds for the ending. After the clever and humorously convoluted twists and turns of the ending, he decided to playful satirize storytelling itself with an absurd recipe for an ending of their escape which, of course, is a joke. In his collection THE PEOPLE TRAP, the story "Redfern's Labyrinth" is another hilarious satire of his own storytelling formula.

R.S. was always on the edge of genious. This is one of his brighter moments.
This author is amazing
Good story read by my favorite narrator , I read most of these dime magazines when I was a kid in the 50's , beats watching TV hands down any day .
Michael Ledford I hid them from my dad or he'd bitch about wasting money.

I enjoyed that 😊
Very good! Relevant to today’s society! Thought provoking! I was actually on the side of the undertakers! 😖
I liked the story it was a good listen. But darn I hope the author expanded on the permise that ending didn't do it for me
Great!
No please, repeat it here. I absolutely don't mind.
thank you
TY.👍🏽

I don't quite understand the ending of this one. Anyone willing to explain the escape formula for me?
Carson W234, yes I will, give me about half an hour.

Good narration. Good story up until the lame ending. The ending isn't bad enough to make me regret having listened to the story, though.
Why?
