The Arsène Lupin Podcast is coming along. If you haven’t heard, I’ll be releasing the first collection of Lupin stories as its own show. Wednesdays are about to get even better.

And now for something completely different.

I thought we’d have a little bit of classic science fiction for a while. We’re starting with a short story by Harry Harrison. The Stainless Steel Rat is his most well-known story, along with the Deadworld series. Originally released in the August 1957 issue of Astounding Science Fiction , the noir style of the story helps us to immediately know our protagonist, and the world he inhabits. I hope you like it.

And now, The Stainless Steel Rat, by Harry Harrison
