RAS #669 - The Man In The Moon

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we begin with Ron’s thoughts on the
relationship between science fiction and real science, highlighting
the blend of plausibility and artistic license. Next we review the
audiobook, Way Station by Clifford D. Simak, a classic science
fiction novel about a man who encounters alien travelers. On These
Are Your Stories we have two listener-submitted stories: Night Ride
Through Kandal from Cambodia and The Whisper in the Orchard from
the Philippines.  The featured story is The Man in the Moon
from the OTR series Dimension X, a suspenseful tale set in the
future. We end the show with an AI generated story. Ron asked
Google’s Gemini to write a three minute science fiction story about
a fight between a turtle and an alien. You won’t believe the
results. Featured Story - The Man in the Moon Our featured story
