In reply to Smuggins. Whatever did you mean by ‘glaring misogyny’?

The glaring misogyny aside, I think what RB was trying to show was how each of these men kept people away through different means. One focused sole on himself (pleasure), etc. It was better than most RB writing.

This was AWESOME! And thought I've heard a LOT of OTR, somehow this slipped by me. To me, the best thing about it was that it truly does 'stand the test of time' - it had none of the usual (and kind of unavoidable) cheesiness that time usually dusts on sci-fi stories from this era. It's just as plausible a story now as it was then. (I'm not a scientist or engineer, so none of that high-minded sass from you super-smart types!) They are voices floating in space, and it just WORKS. You guys mentioned Parley Baer in the intro, but skated right past Howard McNear for whatever reason(???)... interestingly enough, I got so invovled in the story that I never even picked up on Parley Baer (which is bananas, because his voice is unique). When I recognized McNear, I silently cussed you out for not listing him in the intro, then enjoyed his smarmy banter through until his unfortunate departure. Which brings me to my only disappointment in this podcast, and it's with you 3, not the show... I was dead sure I would hear a reference to Floyd The Barber floating in space, but not one of you said it. Wow. Great show, though, both the episode and the commentary. Love it. Never ever stop.

Who does’nt cry out for “mama”, when their life span is about to end?? Perhaps even a cluster of stars blowing up in the galaxy, before becoming a shooting star, hmm…
