So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis.

Privileged we are to bring you this historic story—one which will warm the manly hearts of the legion of devoted admirers of that venerable fantasist, Arthur Wright Beemis. The Yes Men of Venus by Ron Goulart. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Special thanks to Eaten by a Grue. Five months ago Mr. Grue bought us $25 worth of coffee and today chose to become a monthly supporter of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. We appreciate each and every one of you and if you would like to show your love for our podcast there is a link in the description.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVRon Goulart makes his debut on the podcast today—and trust me, it won't be his last. Born in Berkeley, California in 1933, he studied at UC Berkeley and began his career as an advertising copywriter in San Francisco before turning to fiction.And once he did, he never looked back. Goulart wrote across genres—science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and romance—publishing more than 180 books and an untold number of short stories.You might recognize his work without even knowing it. Ever heard of the TekWar novels credited to William Shatner? Goulart was the ghostwriter behind them.His son Sean once said that Ron's true passion was science fiction. “Deep down, he wanted to be the Ray Bradbury of humorous science fiction.” After hearing today's story, I think you'll agree—he pulled it off brilliantly.Turn to page 73 in Amazing Stories, July 1963, The Yes Men of Venus by Ron Goulart…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Hall and Upjohn had to escape from that "No-man's-land" on Mercury. But to form a plan, they had to think—and their captors could read minds.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 22, 2025 is: voluble • VAHL-yuh-bul • adjective Someone may be described as voluble if they are talking a lot in a rapid, energetic way. // Bri knew something was bothering her normally voluble friend when he was reluctant to talk about his day. See the entry > Examples: “The movie is built around an interview with the legendary 91-year-old actor, still vigorous and voluble, with a seize-the-day cornball glow to him. In ‘You Can Call Me Bill,' Shatner sits under the hot lights, with the camera close to his face, talking, talking, and talking—about life, death, acting, fame, love, desolation, and trees.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety, 16 Mar. 2023 Did you know? In a chapter titled “Conversation,” from her 1922 book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, Emily Post offers her trademark good advice for the loquacious among us: “There is a simple rule, by which if one is a voluble chatterer ... one can at least refrain from being a pest or a bore. And the rule is merely, to stop and think.” Voluble, as is clear in this context, describes someone or something (as in “voluble personality/prose/presence”) characterized by ready or rapid speech. Voluble traces back to the Latin verb volvere, meaning “to set in a circular course” or “to cause to roll.” Another volvere descendant, volume, can also be a help in remembering voluble's meaning, not because someone described as voluble speaks at a loud volume, per se, but because they have volumes to say.

You'll be delighted to know that the TWENTY minutes prior to this episode - in which we argued about when Shatner's talk/singing became a thing - was cut prior to release. That's the kind of top-notch quality control we got going on around here.
