This is so good. I wish more people knew about it.

Horrible background music

I remember I was around 7 or 8. I had started exploring an old annual of Year's Best Fantasy and SF from 1966,. This was the first story I ever read by Thomas M. Disch (far from the last). It might have been the second work of science fiction I had read at that point after Kit Reed's beautiful "Automatic Tiger". I've been wary about escalators and inordinately careful about my credit card use ever since...

Classic 👌

A great reading of a classic story. Thanks for sharing!

The music and sound effects ruin the narrative. C'est la vie!

Thank you

Thank you

Complete

Intro too long

They should make the music a little louder. I can still hear the narration.

Swords of Ifthan is my favorite of this episode

What a crock of shit!

What is this beautiful music? Oh gosh such lovely art

Their time is running out.. Which is why they need “The great reset”… to buy them more time…but like the Flowers, after several Resets, this one will not be as effective as the others… There is no stopping it… The Vaccines were their attempt to get rid of as much as possible, but nothing can stop the what’s coming.

TikTok brought me here.

This story is amazing. Haha the Met Gala picked this story in a very… oddly fitting way. Such a good motif during this time where there’s such a huge wage gap between the ultra wealthy and the regular person.

1:33 is where you wanna start to skip that nonsense noise at the beginning

This is simply spectacular - thank you so much for your super timbre, matching music, and uploading it for FREE !

The Vogue magazine article about the Met Gala 2024 brought me here...

The idea of the interlocking machine room running for a couple million years and then stopping with a sudden silence is pretty epic. It brings to mind the halting problem, which is the problem of determining if a program will ever terminate and belongs to the very strange undecidable problem set. Meaning you could study a program forever or sit watching it run forever and never know if it will end.

A story that I've enjoyed for around 45 years. Be yourself and not a herded herdling 😊

Great story and beautiful music.

I really liked this beautiful little story.

The Castaway, what a beautiful story. ❤

I loved the haunted suit one. 🤩

That was so scary! I feel all confused and scared about the ending as well, it seems so horribly meaningless.....

I loved this story! I was waiting for him to look within but never expected for him to do it like that, brilliant.

I love this story.

A love story. ❤️😊

I don't understand how the microcephalon got back?

I found out that the music at the end is Sonatina, Charlie Byrd.

This is SO FUNNY! As a second generation Russian-American, I confess that this collection of disparate words slung together represents exactly what I dislike about Russian literature. What's so great about The Brothers Karamazov, anyway? Or The Death of Ivan Ilyich, which nearly killed me on more than one occasion. I do appreciate Gogol's sensayuma in Dead Souls, but I'm sardonic that way 😊 ETA: Background music should stay there.

Mr. Hanson has a great voice, but he reads WAY TOO FAST about 90-95% of the time. It didn't matter for this story since I've already read it, but idk if I'd want to race through any story that I really like. Anyway, I'm glad y'all are doing this. Golden Age speculative fiction is my passion. You haven't done Rogue Tomato, have you?

That went by quickly!

How is this science fiction. Dont understand the story. The end was not very good. Rubbish.

There is so much stuff on the internet and even just on TH-cam alone, but it is wonderful to hear these stories being read. I would like to thank all of you who have worked on this and put it out for us to enjoy. A special thanks to Mr. Hanson for his lovely soothing voice. Many people read stories on TH-cam now but certain voices sound timeless.

Yay

This is like Oryx and drake meets Rick and morty

I started listening to old time radio broadcasts about 4 years ago and stumbled across Mindwebs last year. I love it. Just wonderful. What I have noticed while listening to the voices from many decades ago is that many modern sci fi tv dramas and Films have been influenced by much older radio broadcasts. I believe that this story, the Hall of Machines, has influenced the development of a TH-cam phenomenon that is called The Backrooms.

Frank Zappa cover I always liked that sculpture

I like all the music in your stories. Just listening to the music at the end of this one, emotive, very sad, but I like it.

Very scary!

Very happy I've discovered you. Thank you. Am sending a link to my friend.

The way to experience this story. Nuff said

Holy shit, great ride!

I really hate the background music.

I want that Greenslade album 😀

Outstanding. Bless you all. Thanks 😊
