I’d like to track down the original publication of John Collier’s Thus I Refute Beezly. Several sources cite the Atlantic Monthly publication (the October 1940 issue), but I don’t have a scan of that – if you’ve got one, please send me an email. See there’s a 1931 copyright date for it in the Penguin paperback anthology entitled Out Of This World (edited by Julius Fast) – but it doesn’t cite the original publication source. In the meantime here are two more readings other than Jim Moon’s terrific version (available HERE).

Hey, there’s a reading in another podcast too:
Night Transmissions #130 features the Nelson Olmsted reading done for the radio series “Sleep No More” |MP3| the story begins at about 90 minutes in.
That issue of Atlantic Monthly is on Ebay for $10.

On second glance I may have misubderstood the way that Magawiki website works. They describe the contents of the issue you wanted but the link to ebay seems to be for a different issue. Sorry.
However… I just found this, which appears to be the correct issue for $25:
