About this episode
Rish Outfield presents and discusses the famous Science Fiction story 'The Cold Equations' by Tom Godwin.
Rish presents one of the most famous Science Fiction stories of the 20th Century, 1954's "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin. Afterward, Rish talks about the story at length. How big a shock is the reveal of the stowaway, and what does that say about the reader? What was the hardest part of performing it? If Rish were editing the story now, how much would he cut out? Note: This is one of the longest episodes I've produced. If you stick around long enough, you'll hear my impression of a YouTuber playing Minecraft. Was it worth it?
