Our Marquee Story – The Jovian Jest
Our main story this week comes from the May 1930 issue of Astounding Stories. The tale is called The Jovian Jest and written by Lilith Lorraine. It tells the story of an alien’s visit to our pygmy world. This is not an old time radio show and will be read for us by Mike Pelton.
Ron walking around the park in March. Yes, it does snow here in Vancouver.
I like taking a walk around the local park. I do this every day and every day new thoughts occur to me. Sometimes it is about what I can do for my next show, other times I worry about life issues. I put in a lot of time making these podcasts. I want to do them right and at the same time remember that I have a job to do. I have made it no secret that I would love to do this full time, but the numbers tell me that I have a long way to go before I can make that happen.
So why do I do this… podcasting I mean? If I am not making a living at it then it must be a hobby. I know that for the most part people around me just doesn’t get it. However, my brother is my biggest supporter and he reminds me that I am doing good work. The listeners tell me that they love the show and can’t wait to see what I do next. People I don’t even know send me their stories to take care of and share with the world. You have no idea how that makes me feel when I get a good story from someone out there.
In the end, it is because of you that I do this. I don’t want to let you down. I have to put out the best podcast I can for you to hear. You make it worth the effort. I will continue paying my dues and hope that one day Ron’s Amazing Stories goes viral.
Thank you for listening to the show it is pleasure to be your host.
-Ron
