John Thurmon swore he'd be the first man on the moon. But he wasn't. He was only the first murderer. The First Man On The Moon by Alfred Coppel, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

In recent weeks with the addition of commercials in our podcast some listeners have told us they have chosen to lower their rating, solely based on commercials and not because they dislike the podcast.

Because of that I’m going to take a few seconds and explain why those commercials are there. Upon my death my wife will not receive my social security and will be left with no income. That bothers me, so two years ago I started narrating these stories with the hope that audiobook sales would provide her with some money. Then I added the podcast with the desire that it too might eventually generate some money so that my wife could live out the rest of her days with dignity.

That’s one of the reasons why we value you and every listener we have, and everything you do to help us promote the podcast, we appreciate every one of you who buys us a coffee, or purchases merchandise from our store. You are helping me fulfill the promise I made to my wife to take care of her. 

I love my wife and my promise to provide for her when I’m gone is something I take very seriously. Thank you for your understanding and your support.

Regarding those who choose to rate and review our podcast, I respect your right to say and do whatever you choose. Thank you.

To say I love our story today would be a huge understatement. From Planet Stories magazine in the spring of 1950, our story can be found on page 36, The First Man on the Moon by Alfred Coppel…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Johnson knew he was annoying the younger man, who so obviously lived by the regulations in the Colonial Officer's Manual and lacked the imagination to understand why he was doing this… The Most Sentimental Man by Evelyn E. Smith.
