Gregg Margarite the reader of this story sadly passed away in march 2012. It's gratifying to see that his work keeps finding new listeners. We all miss you mate.

Check that cover! “Playboy and the Slime God” is an Asimov story later retitled “What is this thing called love?”

Lol excellent performance
That line at the start though:
“Suddenly became a member of.... the risk profession” reminded me of some generic version of the Law & Order opening LOL.

The company would still need to pay the refund because that part was legit.
