Of Withered Apples by Philip K. Dick - Science Fiction Short Stories

Something was tapping on the window. Blowing up against the pane, again and again. Carried by the wind. Tapping faintly, insistently. Lori, sitting on the couch, pretended not to hear. She gripped her book tightly and turned a page. The tapping came again, louder, and more imperative. It could not be ignored. Of Withered Apples by Philip K. Dick, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. I received an email recently asking why I read reviews on the podcast. The answer is simple, it’s my way of publicly saying thank you for taking the time and effort to write a review for us. It means a lot to me when I read your review. And if I knew the names of all 57 of you, so far, who have rated us on Spotify I’d read those too. By the way our rating on Spotify is 4.9, probably 4.98 if they added a decimal point, and on Apple podcasts it’s 4.99! Thank you!! Our most recent review on Apple Podcasts comes to us from RLVader who says, “The Best Sci-fi podcast to date! I have listened to every sci-fi podcast I can find. This is by far the best and most consistent one I have come across. Great selection of stories and superb narration.” Wow! Thanks RLVader. We’ve showcased Philip K. Dick more than any other author on the podcast. Why? Because you keep asking for more PKD and the episodes with a Philip K. Dick story are among the most listened to episodes we have. “ Of Withered Apples” appeared in Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine. If that publication doesn’t ring a bell, well, it’s because there were only four issues. From the July 1954 issue let’s turn to page 21 for “ Of Withered Apples” by Philip K. Dick … Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, the follow-up to “ The Stainless Steel Rat” , It might seem a little careless to lose track of something as big as a battleship... but interstellar space is on a different scale of magnitude. But a misplaced battleship—in the wrong hands!—can be most dangerous. The Misplaced Battleship by Harry Harrison. That’s next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
