Rob DircksHi, Rob Dircks here. Join me on my monthly quest to answer questions like “What would happen if a smartphone game was so addictive EVERYONE played it at once?” or “If we’re all in a simulation, who’s running it?” Every month (or so) I write an original science fiction short story and narrate it for your listening pleasure.

Hey, Rob here. As you might know, some of these stories are better served if I talk about them after you’ve listened or read them, not before – and this is one of them. What I can tell you is that it’s been kicking around in my head for a couple of y... more
Hey, Rob here. I don’t have a lot of background for this story, but here’s how it started: I was talking to a friend, about how when I heard the carbon monoxide detector beep because it needed a new battery, I thought we were going to die, and she sa... more
Hello, Rob here. I hate to do this, but I really can’t say anything about this story up front without giving it away, except that it’s about someone who volunteers for a test, not knowing much about it...

ORIGINALLY WRITTEN/RECORDED 03/2020. Hey guys. I’ll tell you right up front, I struggled with the idea of even posting this story, because, yes, it’s a plague story. It’s a very common theme in sci-fi, the plague-that-wipes-out-humanity theme, but I’... more
Hey, Rob here. For a long time now, there’s been the awareness that what happened to the dinosaurs – an extinction-level event caused by an asteroid impact – could happen again. In fact, it doesn’t seem to be a matter of if, but of when. A hundred ye... more
Hey guys, Rob here. Happy Halloween! So a friend of mine texted me and he’s like, “Dude! Do a story about this creepy island I’m working on!” Usually I’m like okay, great, thanks, whatever, and then I do what I want. But this time he got me. See, his... more
Hey guys, Rob here. As you might know, I’m into the whole Mars rover thing, and I was psyched to find out they included an extra little package inside it this time — a helicopter. And even cooler, they fastened an actual swatch of fabric from the ori... more

- Hooray! A new story
I sure enjoy Rob Dircks’ writing and narration. His stories are thought-provoking blends of science and fiction (or maybe not fiction, maybe they really are true….in an alternate universe, or this universe….)

United States3 years ago - Great creative stories!
I first learned about Rob through his books on Audible, and I really enjoyed his Tesla series. From there I learned about his short stories, and I’ve really loved listening to these as well! Rob writes creative, original, and often humorous sci-fi, and I look forward to new material!
Apple Podcasts5joshuamkUnited States6 years ago - Amazing Storyteller
Rob is a double threat, writer and narrator.
Apple Podcasts5CraigDamloUnited States7 years ago - It's hard to choose a favorite story. I subscribed right away!
I've always been fascinated with science fiction, or perhaps now -- speculative fiction. Whatever it's called, I love these stories.
Rob is incredibly imaginative, and in such a short period of time he brings to life amazing, lovable characters. I've been a fan of his stories and narration for a while; starting with his book, 'Where the Hell is Tesla?.'
I'm looking forward to the next podcast.
