So They Baked A Cake by Winston Marks - Space Exploration Sci-Fi Short Story

He was tired of people—a "human interest" columnist, who specializes in glamorizations of the commonplace and sordid is likely to get that way. So... this starship seemed to offer the ideal escape from it all. “…So They Baked A Cake by Winston Marks”, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

We always love hearing from our listeners, Stavros says, “All I can say is a huge thank you for your uploads, by mistake I discovered you, and by you, I discovered PKD, after hearing some of your uploads, I ordered Ubik and A Scanner Darkly. I think PKD is my favorite author. Greetings from Greece. Keep up the great job!” Thanks Stavros, we’re happy to discover another of our new listeners in Greece!

And from DeathWithinTenSteps, “Great content, my new go-to channel for sci-fi. Greetings from Sweden” Thanks DeathWithinTenSteps, we appreciate your comment and we’re glad to have yet another new listener in Sweden.
