Conversations of the Strange

Arts


He was considered one of the greats in the world of science fiction, sadly H. Beam Piper passed away way to young back in 1964 at his own hand. However, he left behind a prolific legacy of amazing writing and some of it celebrated his and mine adopted hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.   I had the chance to write an article about his life for the "Williamsport Sun Gazette." I wanted to share the article here and an audio version of his short story that the good people of Librivox posted on their site here. The story is read by an amazing reader credited as Bellona Times.  To find out more about H. Beam Piper, check out the amazing sites run by David Johnson and John Carr (also note I got the image of Piper from this site) .   _______ Don't forget to visit "Conversations of the Strange" at our website here and on our Facebook page here. _______ New theme credit - "Extinction Level Event" by Jingle Punks  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
