Description

Perhaps you’re read how Everest has now been climbed? But have you heard of Planetary Survey? Here’s the real truth about it. Everest has been climbed twice. Everest by Isaac Asimov, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.We receive a lot of suggestions and we listen to what you have to say. The idea to add super short stories was yours, we’ve done longer stories too, based on your suggestions. Today we bring you the shortest story we’ve ever featured, all by itself, because you asked for it. And if you’ve noticed that we’ve been narrating a plethora of stories by Isaac Asimov lately, well, you’ve asked for that too!Universe Science Fiction Magazine began publishing in June 1953, its third issue is dated December 1953 and features a short story about Mt. Everest. Edmund Hillary became the first person to climb the gigantic mountain just a few months before this story was printed. Let’s turn to page 30 for Everest by Isaac Asimov…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The castaway was a wanted man — but he didn’t know how badly he was wanted! The ShipShape Miracle by Clifford D.
