The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak - From Planet Stories Magazine in Fall 1944


Listen Later

Mr. Meek was having his troubles. First, the educated bugs worried him; then the welfare worker tried to stop the Ring Rats' feud by enlisting his aid. And now, he was a drafted space-polo player—a fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life. Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Another first for our podcast today, back to back episodes by the same author featuring the same character. Yesterday Clifford D. Simak’s Mr. Meek got himself in a little trouble and today the mild mannered bookkeeper from Earth finds himself in another pickle.


From Planet Stories magazine in the fall of 1944 our space-faring hero’s journey begins on page 56, Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak…


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we will do something we have never done on the podcast, and something we may never do again.
