    1st story in an absolute 100% gem. Why cannot the film industry take some of these rather than DC/Marvel stuff far funnier.

      Been listening to a new sci fi writer on the tube named Rowe. I thought the same thing about a story he wrote named “Top Sushi”. What a movie it would make.

    Haha I remember the Freelance Monitor one; I read it, likely in its original appearance in Galaxy, up in the attic while enjoying my Dad's boxes of SF magazines. Good times! You read it well, as always.

    "He was not in a gay mood this morning..."
    Well, well, a good old story from the golden days, when words still had there real meaning.
    I wonder how many young listeners might be astonished why the freelancer was not keen this morning of getting into his male co-workers underwear....

    What's with representing old videos as new, not good man😮

    • @storiesfromthesky
      @storiesfromthesky  Год назад +5

      Sorry you feel that way. The compilations have a much wider reach than the individual stories, so many people get to listen to things they otherwise wouldn't. I don't believe I ever stated they were new videos.

    • @peterlennon1139
      @peterlennon1139 Год назад

      Notifications by definition on RUclips are to highlight NEW additions and UPDATES. these are simply plugging old stuff that dedicated fans have already viewed. Very bad form in my opinion 😢
