Introducing that modest little superman, that shrinking violet of destiny, Ajax Calkins, and a world where you had to hop, in some way, to get where you wanted to go! Pogo Planet by Donald A. Wollheim, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.More 5 Star reviews on Apple Podcasts! I missed this from several months ago from DERREKw, who gave us 5 Stars and says, “Worthy of the Mindwebs comparison! A friend recommended I check out your show with the huge compliment that it is at times similar to “Mindwebs” only without the background music and occasional help from other voice actors. I LOVE your show. I appreciate the source material used. I’ve come to really appreciate your consistency reading each story. Keep it up! Two Thumbs up, A+, and 5 Stars from one of your newest fans in Colorado Springs.”Thanks DERREKw and I’m sorry I didn't discover your awesome review until now. If you haven’t already left us a review on Apple Podcasts we’d really appreciate your honest review if you would be so kind.Donald A. Wollheim was a sci-fi fan, author, editor and publisher. He was a founding member of The Futurians, a New York based group of science fiction fans who were a major force in science fiction writing and fandom from 1937 to 1945. The 1979 first edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction calls Wollheim "one of the first and most vociferous SF fans. He would go on to write eight novels and about a hundred short stories.The character “Ajax Calkins” the hero in today’s story, would appear in six stories written by Wollheim, but unfortunately it looks like none of them are in the public domain. We’ll meet Ajax Calkins on page 82 of the October 1941 issue of Future Combined with Science Fiction Magazine. Pogo Planet by Donald A.
