Jussied ,

Thank you

Brings back the wonder of my younger years delighted in reading new stories and being part of worlds of which I would never had imagined. Thank you for the laughs, the tears and the opening of neurons again that fire with curiosity and intrigue.

Hardcore Sci-Fi junkies - Listen here!!

This is The BESTEST pCast read stories of the entire genre 👏 🤩
I absolutely LOVE Clarke’s World! Kate is and awesome narrator, her voice truly bringing the authors stories to life.

One wish please CW🙏🏼 - Please could you put a short summary of the stories under the headings 🙏🏼

If you are a hardcore sci-fi junkie this is the pCast for You! The Epic, deep and mind blowing imaginations of the future, different worlds, machines etc from these awesome authors certainly make you think and dream of the possibilities.

Authors hank you so much for submitting to this awesome podcast that I listen to nearly every night. Thank you Kate for your hard work and time. Bless you all around all the universes and back 💫

This is simply AWESOME... and has space squiddies!

To anyone new, don’t hold back, launch yourself in since this is awesome! The best collection of sci fi stories I’ve ever heard, from all corners of the Earth. The quality of stories is astounding... my personal favourites are the time travelling vampire wars (sounds cheesy but is fun), alien meme organisms in unwitting toddlers... and the occasional space squiddy. Narrator has an amazing voice and reading style, and it’s bonkers that now I can’t read a sci fi story with “hearing it” in her voice. I travel a lot and this source of stories is invaluable for me. Thank you guys and gals at Clarkesworld for doing all this!
