They built a machine to handle chores, not to wait by the door or feel the sting of being left behind. When affection stops being programmable, someone has to decide whether turning it off is an act of mercy or something far worse. Helen O’Loy by Lester Del Rey. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.One week from today we celebrate the 4th Anniversary of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. This is episode 493 and our 500th episode arrives on our Anniversary.

It has been republished almost 100 times in various publications over the last nine decades. Helen O’Loy was chosen in 1970 by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the finest science-fiction short stories published before the establishment of the Nebula Awards, earning it a place in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929–1964.The story was also a finalist for the 1939 Retro Hugo Award for Best Short Story, where it placed second behind How We Went to Mars by Arthur C.

A factory worker wakes up far from Earth after a routine job triggers something no one warned him about. What he learns there forces a choice between keeping quiet—and deciding who gets to live longer back home. Welcome to Paradise by Allyn Donnelson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you consider yourself the biggest science-fiction fan on the planet and you’ve never heard of Allyn Donnelson, you’re forgiven. He appears to have published only a single story, and beyond that, nothing. We don’t know when or where he was born or anything about him.

Earth’s most powerful leader discovers that the counsel he trusted most may soon be gone—just as the stakes become irreversible. When guidance disappears, the final responsibility cannot be delegated, delayed, or avoided. Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.When you’re diving into the early days of sci-fi, one name you keep bumping into — even if you don’t always recognize it — is Sam Merwin Jr., who makes his debut on the podcast today. Born Samuel Kimball Merwin Jr. on April 28, 1910, in Plainfield, New Jersey, he came into the world with storytelling in his blood: his father, Samuel Merwin Sr., was an established novelist and playwright. After finishing his BA at Princeton University in 1931, he also studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, and then spent the early 1930s in journalism — reporting for the Boston Evening American and later serving as New York bureau chief for The Philadelphia Inquirer. His first published science fiction story arrived in 1939, a tale called “The Scourge Below” in Thrilling Wonder Stories. In 1940 wrote a mystery novel, Murder in Miniatures, and over the years he continued to write both mysteries and science fiction, often under his own name and occasionally under pseudonyms like Matt Lee, Jacques Jean Ferrat, Carter Sprague, and others. Like many of his peers he even wrote a few comic book stories for DC's Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space.What really makes Merwin’s impact in the genre interesting isn’t just the fiction he wrote, but the work he did behind the scenes. In the 1940s and early 1950s, he became a key editor at some of the era’s most influential science fiction magazines — Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Story Quarterly, and Wonder Stories Annual.Our story comes near the end of his career as a science fiction author, published in Fantastic Universe in November 1955 on page 61, Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A factory worker wakes up far from Earth after a routine job triggers something no one warned him about.

This moment, this episode, simply wouldn’t exist without that spark you lit.Every request you’ve sent, every five-star rating, every thoughtful review—each one has mattered.

What if time itself could be paused—bought, sold, and exploited by anyone with enough money and nerve? Zeritsky’s Law explores the terrifying social consequences when human lives become inventory and the future becomes a loophole. Zeritsky’s Law by Ann Griffith. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Ann Griffith was a well-known and widely published writer, though science fiction made up only a tiny fraction of her work. During World War II, she served as a member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, the pioneering WASP program, graduating from flight school in August 1944 at a time when few women were allowed anywhere near the cockpit of a military aircraft.After the war, Griffith built a successful writing career, contributing essays, commentary, and sharp humor to publications such as The New Yorker, The American Mercury, The Atlantic, and the aviation magazine Pegasus. Many of her magazine pieces carried deliberately wry, attention-grabbing titles, including “How to Make Housework Easy the Hard Way” and “Gentlemen, Your Tranquilizers Are Showing.”That same wit carried over into her rare ventures into science fiction. Griffith published only two known sci-fi stories, making Zeritsky’s Law all the more remarkable as a darkly comic exploration of human behavior once technology removes normal limits. From Galaxy Science Fiction, November 1951, on page 51, Zeritsky’s Law by Ann Griffith…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In a future where youth is enforced and aging is treated like a moral failure, one man faces a decision that could cost him everything he values.

In a future that has perfected compassion, one man discovers that kindness can be its own kind of cruelty. When humanity finally reaches for the stars again, the greatest test is not technology, but who is deemed worthy to dream. The Age of Kindness by Arthur Sellings. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.One of the questions we hear most is how we decide which stories make it onto the podcast. The answer isn’t a single rule, but a mix of considerations—one of the most important being uniqueness. Is the author someone we’ve never featured before? Does the story take an unexpected turn, explore an unusual idea, or approach familiar science-fiction territory in a way that feels fresh? Today’s story is all of that. Arthur Sellings makes his debut on the podcast. Sellings was the pen name of English author Arthur Gordon Ley, born in 1921 in Tunbridge Wells England.Before becoming a professional writer, Ley worked as a scientific researcher for the British government, and he also dealt in books and art, interests that influenced his fiction.  Sellings wrote dozens of short stories that appeared, mostly in the 1950s, in major science fiction magazines, Galaxy Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Nebula Science Fiction and New Worlds. Today’s story is from the November 1954 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction and we will find it on page 124, The Age of Kindness by Arthur Sellings…☕ Buy Me a Coffee - https://lostscifi.com/coffeeNewsletter - https://lostscifi.com/free/Facebook - https://lostscifi.com/facebookYouTube - https://lostscifi.com/youtubeRise - http://Lostscifi.com/riseX - http://Lostscifi.com/xInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostscifiguy❤️ ❤️ Thanks to Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee$200 Someone$100 Tony from the Future$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 MizzBassie, Anonymous Listener$25 Someone, Someone, Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener$15 Every Month Someone$15 SueTheLibrarian, Joannie West, Amy Özkan, Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener$10 Anonymous Listener$5 Every Month Eaten by a Grue$5 TLD, David, Denis Kalinin, Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous ListenerNext on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What if time itself could be paused—bought, sold, and exploited by anyone with enough money and nerve?

A man becomes convinced that time itself is counting him down, and every decision suddenly feels fatal. When certainty collides with control, survival may depend on breaking the patterns that once defined a life. The Big Tick by Ross Rocklynne. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Ross Rocklynne wrote one of my all-time favorite “wait…how has no one told me about this?” stories, Chicken Farm. Today he drops back into the podcast with another gem, originally unleashed in the very first issue of Cosmos Science Fiction and Fantasy Magazine in September 1953. The magazine survived exactly three more issues before doing the most on-brand thing possible—disappearing into the cosmos and never coming back.From the debut issue of Cosmos on page 121, The Big Tick by Ross Rocklynne…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A lone envoy risks everything to stop a quiet expansion that could ignite a catastrophic war.

A routine exploration turns into a test of leadership when unseen danger begins claiming lives without warning. What follows is a tense struggle to understand an invisible enemy before irreversible choices must be made. Thompson’s Cat by Robert Moore Williams. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Robert Moore Williams is another one of those authors that never received a lot of recognition for his writing, never won any awards that I could find but I love his writing. And the man did a lot of it! More than 20 novels and about 150 short stories, that’s more than most science fiction authors. More than a few of his stories are in the public domain so we haven’t heard the last of Robert Moore Williams on the podcast.Like many good vintage sci-fi stories this one appeared in several publications but it’s first time in print was the September 1952 issue of Planet Stories Magazine, on page 70. By the way, that same issue included The Gun by Philip K. Dick.

That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Dave Dryfoos has never been on the podcast, but I enjoyed narrating this story and this won’t be the last time we hear from him. He was born in San Francisco in 1915. Dryfoos was in the United States Army during World War II, serving in Australia, New Guinea, and the Philippines.He wrote about 20 short stories that were published between 1950 and 1955 and then his literary work came to an end. He retired as assistant hospital administrator at Camarillo State Psychiatric Hospital in California in 1980.If you walked up to a newsstand in November 1952 with a quarter in your pocket you could’ve purchased the most recent issue of Startling Stories magazine. And if you peeled back the pages you would find an intriguing tale of a spacefarer stumbling upon, well I don’t want to give it away.

A lone explorer confronts a force that fractures identity, memory, and destiny itself. In a place where time refuses to behave, survival depends on facing what you were, what you are, and what you may yet become. Time Trap by Frank Belknap Long. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Discovered another 5 star rating and review today on Audible from Laura Van Wormer. “Scott Miller's narration of old science fiction short stories is just wonderful. Of course, so is the material! Everyone from Ray Bradbury to HG Wells to Lovecraft to Asimov to Jack London and on and on... But there are also the one-timer sci-fi short-story writers that are relatively unknown and Miller provides a little background on them all. Extremely well done. Bravo, Scott Miller!”Thank you for that awesome review Laura. We don’t care where you listen, we’re just glad you're here and if you want to give give us a 5 star review, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it.This is a different kind of time travel story.

They took years to build the rocket and minutes to launch it, sending two ordinary men where others had vanished forever. Officially, it was a simple trip around the moon. Unofficially, it was a gamble born of desperation, pride, and a belief that ignorance might succeed where genius had failed. They Reached For The Moon by William Oberfield. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Before the Moon became a destination, it was only a dream—distant, untouchable, and forever beyond reach. Today, it’s easy to forget what an impossible idea space travel once was, no human would even orbit the earth for another 10 years after this story was written. No human being had ever seen the far side of the Moon until Apollo 8 circled it in December of 1968. For centuries, the Moon belonged to poets and storytellers—not astronauts.Seventeen years earlier, in 1951, William Oberfield dared to imagine what had never been done. He wrote this story at a time when rockets were crude, computers barely existed, and spaceflight was a lot closer to fantasy than engineering. Yet Oberfield looked up and saw not mystery alone, but possibility.Only four of William Oberfield’s stories were published, this was the last of them.

You’ll find the signup link in the description and on lostscifi.com.Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/freeToday on the podcast, we welcome a true original making his debut — Philip José Farmer.Farmer was born on January 26, 1918, in North Terre Haute, Indiana, and his love of science fiction started early. Like so many writers of his generation, he fell hard for the pulp magazines as a kid, discovering worlds that were stranger, bolder, and more imaginative than anything around him. Over his career, Farmer wrote almost 60 novels and over 100 short stories, constantly pushing the boundaries of what science fiction could talk about — from religion and sexuality to identity and mythology. He won multiple Hugo Awards, including one for his groundbreaking novel To Your Scattered Bodies Go, and later received the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America.Philip José Farmer was hugely influential because he refused to play it safe. He expanded the emotional and intellectual range of science fiction — and today, we’re finally welcoming his voice to the Lost Sci-Fi universe with a story that first appeared in Fantastic Universe magazine in October 1954.

A routine emergency mission becomes an unforgiving test of physics, law, and human conscience. When one hidden mistake is discovered, a pilot must face a decision that no training could ever prepare him for. The Cold Equations by Tom Godwin. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today’s episode marks a major milestone. Although it’s episode 465, it features the 500th story ever presented on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Over the years, some episodes have included two stories—and occasionally even more—but this one stands apart.What makes it especially meaningful to me is simple: out of all the remarkable stories we’ve shared during nearly four years of the podcast, this is my personal favorite. When it was first published, the story sparked intense backlash. Many readers were furious, and author Tom Godwin received no shortage of criticism. In just a few moments, you’ll understand exactly why.We’d love to hear your thoughts.

A struggling writer’s obsession with forbidden knowledge leads him to a discovery no human mind was meant to grasp. One reckless act opens a doorway to something vast, unseen, and utterly indifferent to human life. The Shambler From The Stars by Robert Bloch. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Haven’t mentioned Rise lately, the all in one wellness drink and the only product I have ever found to get rid of diabetic neuropathy pain. If you have neuropathy you know how awful it is. My pain was so intense it used to wake me up in the middle of the night and I couldn’t go back to sleep.Not anymore. That’s why I take Rise every day. If it didn’t work for me, I wouldn’t recommend it. One scoop a day, with over 50 natural ingredients, helps me stay energized, focused, and pain free and when you are almost 67, like I am that isn’t easy. It supports my immune system, my digestion, my mood, and even my joints.Since starting Rise, I’ve been pain free, felt more alive and more ready to embrace the day. It makes a difference for me.There’s a link in the description, or visit lostscifi.com and click on Rise to see what it can do for you.Rise - http://Lostscifi.com/riseI don’t usually do this, but today we’re making an exception. I want to talk about the next story on the podcast—not today’s episode, but the one that follows.When this story was first published, readers flooded the magazine with letters of protest. They called the author cold. They called the story cruel. They argued it should never have been written the way it was.Decades later, that same story is considered a cornerstone of hard science fiction. It’s taught, debated, and regularly included on lists of the most important science-fiction stories ever written.You don’t want to miss this one.Robert Bloch returns today with a story that first appeared on page 368 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1935, The Shambler From The Stars by Robert Bloch.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A routine emergency mission becomes an unforgiving test of physics, law, and human conscience.

A young man plots a quiet inheritance in a decaying waterfront mansion haunted by whispers, rituals, and an uncle who knows far too much. When murder collides with forbidden knowledge, the price of impatience becomes far more than death. The Grip of Death by Robert Bloch. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another newsletter will be sent out in a few hours, free sci-fi and other fun stuff straight to your inbox every week. There is a link in the description and on LostSciFi.comNewsletter - https://lostscifi.com/free/How did we release more than 460 episodes without narrating a story by Robert Bloch? That oversight ends today. Born in Chicago in 1917, Bloch is best remembered for Psycho, the novel that became Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic film—but that was only one chapter in a remarkable career.Bloch wrote more than 30 novels and hundreds of short stories, publishing his first tale at just 17. His love of the strange began early: at age ten, when his aunt offered to buy him any magazine he wanted, he chose the August 1927 issue of Weird Tales. Years later, speaking at the First World Fantasy Convention in 1975, Bloch recalled waking early on release day and sprinting to a tobacco-and-magazine shop to buy the latest issue—sometimes sneaking it home under his coat if the cover was especially scandalous.Today’s story didn’t appear in Weird Tales, but it is unquestionably a weird tale.

In fact Isaac Asimov said he was, "the most powerful force in science fiction ever”. Campbell encouraged author Cleve Cartmill to write a story—and collaborated closely with him—that laid out the fundamental principles behind building an atomic bomb, nearly a year before the first nuclear test. When the story appeared in print, the accuracy of its scientific details alarmed authorities enough that the FBI showed up at Campbell’s office, demanding that the issue be pulled from newsstands. Campbell argued that suppressing the magazine would draw far more attention to the existence of a secret government project than simply leaving it alone. His reasoning prevailed, and the issue remained in circulation.If you’ve ever wondered what Artificial Intelligence could mean for humanity’s future you might want to pay close attention to today’s story.

Campbell…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A hard-nosed troubleshooter arrives on the Moon to investigate vanished rocketships, only to stumble onto a secret no human was ever meant to find.

Clarke’s most famous and most debated works—The Nine Billion Names of God. First published in 1953, it blends technology, philosophy, and belief in a way that only Clarke could.In this tale, two engineers trek into the remote Himalayas to help a monastery complete a centuries-old sacred project. What begins as a straightforward installation job slowly reveals an idea so vast and unexpected that it has echoed through science fiction ever since.Clarke is at his most graceful and unforgettable here.

A screaming meteor tears out of the sky and leaves more than a crater in its wake—inside it lies a mystery that bends the laws of physics.

Here’s a message that made my day from RickBase456 on Spotify“Love The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast! Scott’s narrations and characterizations sound like the voices I imagine when reading. I found the podcast on Spotify when I searched for ‘Sci-Fi,’ checked out the first story, and never looked back. Many thanks for an entertaining podcast that reminds me of the days when I subscribed to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.”Thanks Rick! We’re happy to take you on a trip down science-fiction memory lane. We’ve got a fascinating trip through forgotten futures, strange worlds, and stories that once filled the golden pages of pulp magazines — all brought back to life, one episode at a time.What would you do if a glowing meteor landed on Earth—not with destruction, but with a doorway to something impossible? Jack Williamson wasn’t just asking that question… he was asking it in 1931, when ideas like relativity, other dimensions, and cosmic portals were still wild, frightening theories rather than sci-fi staples. A love story, a scientific gamble, a leap into the unknown—time to find out how far one man will go to save the woman he loves… even if it means stepping outside the universe itself.

A routine bank delivery turns into a night of sinister secrets when a young clerk visits a wealthy recluse in the lonely hills of West Virginia. What he discovers in the cellar — and later inside a wine cask — reveals a decade-old revenge no one imagined. The Other One by A. H. Gibson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.This story by A. H. Gibson delivers the kind of eerie, slow-building tension that early pulp fiction did best. There are no aliens or machines, just good old fashioned pulp fiction.We know very little about A. H. Gibson, whose story appeared in The Black Cat magazine in the late 1800s — a publication renowned for its strange, psychological, and macabre fiction. Though Gibson never achieved fame, The Other One proves why forgotten writers from the early pulp era deserve rediscovery. It stands as a perfect example of what “lost” truly means — a dark gem waiting to be found again.From the second issue of The Black Cat in November 1895, on page 34, The Other One by A. H.

Two men cross into a mysterious fourth-dimensional world in search of a rare element that could save their own civilization — or destroy another. But the moment they arrive, they discover they are not the only ones with a hidden agenda… and not everyone plans to return alive. Shadow World by Ray Cummings. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.You may be wondering why I haven’t mentioned Rise the wellness drink for some time. A listener gave us a scathing review and said I was shilling for a product of questionable origin. I thought, what if he’s right? So I didn’t take Rise for to see what would happen. Two weeks later in the middle of the night I woke up to horrific diabetic neuropathy pain and couldn’t go back to sleep. Two nights later, same thing. So I started taking Rise again and I will never stop. No more pain! You can give us a 1 star review and you can think whatever you want to think even though you have never taken it. I take Rise, and I know, I don't think or hope it works, I know it works for me. No more pain, more energy, I feel better when I take Rise and I’m telling you about it because I know it works. I don’t just recommend Rise, I depend on it to be pain free.

An unsuspecting family hosts Earth’s first Martian visitor… only to discover he’s been locked in their upstairs bathroom for hours.

This one comes from Zippoflask, who writes:“A bright light amid the dark miasma of today’s narrated fiction. After searching for a good wholesome and imaginative starring narration, it is wonderful to come upon the beacon that is Scott Miller’s voice and story contributions. I hope he will continue to do this for a long, long time. And I wish both he and his family the best of health!”Thank you, Zippoflask—your review made our day.And now a question for all of you: what would happen if the tens of thousands of listeners who enjoy the show every week took a moment to leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen? We’re pretty sure it would launch Lost Sci-Fi straight to the moon… maybe even past the stars.During his lifetime, Fritz Leiber produced an astonishing range of unforgettable science fiction—brilliant, bold, and always a step ahead of his peers. You don’t earn six Hugo Awards, three Nebulas, two World Fantasy Awards, two British Fantasy Awards, a shelf of additional honors, and the prestigious SFWA Grand Master title unless you consistently deliver greatness.But Leiber also had a playful side, and some of his most enjoyable work comes from those lighter, offbeat tales. Imagine cracking open the December 1957 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction, flipping to page 69, and suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a very unusual family dilemma. What would you do if you were in their shoes?What’s He Doing in There?

Time travel, teleportation, cybernetics, artificial intelligence… Mitchell wrote it all before most people even had electricity in their homes.His stories appeared in newspapers, not magazines, which is one reason his name slipped through the cracks of history. But make no mistake—long before Verne, Wells, or Asimov were household names, Edward Page Mitchell was already imagining the impossible and treating it as everyday fact.First published in The New York Sun on March 25, 1877, this is one of his most remarkable tales—equal parts eerie, inventive, and shockingly modern for its era, The Man Without A Body by Edward Page Mitchell…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, An unsuspecting family hosts Earth’s first Martian visitor… only to discover he’s been locked in their upstairs bathroom for hours.

They came to torment. They Came in Revenge. The Monsters Came by Night by Robert Silverberg. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It’s Halloween week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast — and that means we’re digging into the eerie, the uncanny, and the things that brush past you in the dark when you think you’re alone.Today’s tale takes us far from Earth — all the way to Mars — but don’t relax just because it’s “out there.” These things don’t stay politely confined to the red planet. In this story, the monsters of Mars don’t just haunt red dust and dead craters… they follow a man across the gulfs of space like a nightmare that refuses to stay in the dream.Settle in, dim the lights if you dare — and listen close — because once you hear them, you might never un-hear them.First published on page 34 of Super Science Fiction in October 1959, this one originally carried the byline Charles D. Hammer — and you might be thinking, who? never heard of him.You actually have heard of him… only not under that name. Charles D. Hammer was a pen name of a writer who would go on to be named a Science Fiction Grand Master.Listen to this story written by a very familiar name, The Monsters Came by Night by Robert Silverberg…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A mutinous Spaniard slithers into the shadow-soaked hold of an English ship with powder, vengeance, and heresy on his tongue.

A weary King Kull gazes into the forbidden mirrors of Tuzun Thune, seeking wisdom beyond mortal grasp. But in those shifting reflections lies a peril far greater than any enemy he’s ever faced. The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Quick heads-up: our brand-new Lost Sci-Fi Weekly newsletter launches this Monday, October 27. Tap the link in the description or visit LostSciFi.com to get it first.Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/freeBefore there was Conan, there was King Kull—a brooding, introspective warrior-king from the ancient, drowned kingdom of Valusia. Created by Robert E. Howard, Kull first appeared in The Shadow Kingdom in 1929, one of the earliest true “sword and sorcery” tales.Howard wrote only a handful of complete Kull stories, but they stand among his most thoughtful and dreamlike works. The best known are The Shadow Kingdom, Kings of the Night, and today’s story, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune—a haunting story about the peril of looking too deeply into one’s own reflection.You might remember the 1997 movie Kull the Conqueror — starring Kevin Sorbo (of Hercules fame) — which is the only movie explicitly featuring Kull. It was supposed to be a Conan the Barbarian sequel but was reworked into a Kull story when rights issues arose.We will find our story on page 367 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1929, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E.

Bond’s storytelling.

Beneath the desolate desert lies a chasm that breathes ancient dread. When two men hear the earth itself stir, their world teeters on the brink of a horror beyond human comprehension. The Transition of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It’s funny how The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has evolved. Early on, we planned to skip H. P. Lovecraft—so many other narrators had already done many of his stories. But you kept asking for Lovecraft, and we listen. We dipped a toe in… and those episodes quickly became some of our most-listened to. Lesson learned: our podcast is better when we listen to you.Got thoughts, requests, or gentle gripes? I’m all ears. Drop me a note at scott@lostscifi.com. And if you’re enjoying the ride, your ratings and reviews help more classic sci-fi fans find us. Thanks for being here and shaping what we make next.The story behind The Transition of Juan Romero is nearly as strange as the tale itself. Lovecraft wrote it in a single burst of inspiration—reportedly finishing it in less than a day on September 16, 1919—but, for reasons known only to him, he never chose to publish it during his lifetime. It wouldn’t see print until 1944, seven years after his death. Curiously, it’s often left off lists of his works, almost as if it slipped through the cracks of time—an obscure shadow lurking between his better-known masterpieces. Maybe that’s part of what makes it so fascinating: even forgotten, it still carries that unmistakable Lovecraftian chill.From the Arkham House publication Marginalia on page 276, The Transition of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Horse-Sense Hank could answer all the problems of science. He could even apply logic to love. But turnips…! The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S.

A man begins to sense that part of himself has slipped away—only to reappear in Ireland, where he was born. What unfolds is a haunting tale of divided identity and the eerie possibility of living two lives at once. No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Victoria Lincoln dabbled in science fiction only once, writing a single short story in the genre. She was best known as a novelist, biographer, and true crime author, whose career spanned several decades.Born in 1904 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lincoln grew up in the same city forever associated with another notorious resident, the infamous Lizzie Borden. In 1967, Lincoln turned her attention to Borden’s story in A Private Disgrace, a deeply researched account of the 1892 murders. The book earned her the prestigious Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, solidifying her reputation as a master of true crime and biography rather than science fiction.Her single sci-fi story can be found in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in April 1958 on page 70, No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, New York was a bad town for robots this year.

When our story was published in Weird Tales it was credited solely to Talman.As the story goes, in the summer of 1926, Talman submitted the draft of Two Black Bottles to Lovecraft, who revised it—especially the dialogue. Talman reportedly wasn’t entirely satisfied with the revisions but accepted them.So, a year later, the story was published in the August 1927 issue of Weird Tales magazine on page 251, Two Black Bottles by H.

That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.I really enjoy the writing of Nelson S. Bond, especially his offbeat character Lancelot Biggs. There’s just something about the way Bond mixes humor with wild sci-fi ideas that makes narrating these stories so much fun. Biggs is clumsy, unpredictable, and completely unforgettable—and every time I dive into one of his adventures, I find myself grinning at the clever twists and quirky charm that Bond brings to the page.Journey back 85 years and open the May 1940 publication of Fantastic Adventures magazine to page 30, Lancelot Biggs: Master Navigator by Nelson S.

Beneath the dust of a college museum stands a statue too lifelike to be mere art—Professor Thomas Kelvin, transformed by a strange and deadly fate. The Professors chilling account reveals the price of tampering with forces beyond human understanding. The Metal Man by Jack Williamson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.A huge thank you for your 5-star reviews, your comments on Facebook, and the kind words you share all across the internet. You’re the reason bringing these vintage science fiction stories to life is such a joy.My goal is to keep narrating these classic stories for many years to come—hopefully right up until I’m at least 80! And to do that I’ve got to take care of myself and that’s why I take Rise every day, and if it didn’t work for me, I wouldn’t recommend it. Rise is an all-in-one daily wellness mix designed to support healthy aging—with over 50 natural ingredients, including antioxidants for cell protection, adaptogens to reduce stress, prebiotics, natural energy boosters and nutrients that support your heart, digestion, joints, and even your memory. And it tastes great!There’s a link in the description, or go to lostscifi.com and click on RISE to try it today.Jack Williamson started writing when he was just a teenager living in a remote part of New Mexico—without electricity or running water. He mailed his first manuscripts to Amazing Stories after reading an issue he borrowed from a neighbor. Despite those humble beginnings, he went on to coin terms like “genetic engineering” and “terraforming” that are still widely used in science fiction todayAt just 20 years old, Jack Williamson submitted this story to Hugo Gernsback at Amazing Stories. This comes from the magazine: ‘The Metal Man contains an abundant matter of mystery, adventure, and for a short story, a surprising amount of true science. Unless we are very much mistaken, this story will be hailed with delight by every scientifiction fan.

In his prophetic 1946 story A Logic Named Joe, he described a world where people had home computers (he called them “logics”) that were all connected to a central system, letting people look up information, watch entertainment, and even communicate across great distances. It’s eerie how close it is to how we actually use the internet today.Today’s Leinster story was first published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1949 on page 128, The Life–Work of Professor Muntz by Murray Leinster…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Beneath the dust of a college museum stands a statue too lifelike to be mere art—Professor Thomas Kelvin, transformed by a strange and deadly fate.

“Normality” is a myth; we're all a little neurotic, and the study of neurosis has been able to classify the general types of disturbance which are most common. And some types (providing the subject is not suffering so extreme a case as to have crossed the border into psychosis) can be not only useful, but perhaps necessary for certain kinds of work…. The Hills of Home by Alfred Coppel. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.He may not have taken home any awards, but Alfred Coppel certainly knew how to tell a great story. He’s one of those hidden gems of science fiction—an author I only discovered after starting The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Before that, I’ll admit, his name wasn’t even on my radar. But digging into his work has been a real eye-opener.You might recall some of his other stories we’ve already featured on the podcast—Captain Midas, Runaway, The First Man on the Moon, and The Flight of the Eagle.Open your copy of Future Science Fiction No. 30 in 1956 to page 115, The Hills of Home by Alfred Coppel...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Alpha caught a handful of air, a globe of blue liquid, a rock, kneaded them together….

Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility? Man of Distinction by Michael Shaara. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Well, would you look at that… The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has officially rocketed past 2 MILLION downloads! Two. Million!But here we are, with millions of plays — all thanks to you. Yes, you with the earbuds, the late-night playlist, and the taste for classic sci-fi greatness. You made this happen, and we can’t thank you enough.Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts UK, this from DarrenInItaly “I love this Podcast and have listened to every episode, some episodes many, many times. But… please, no mid episode advertisements in your voice Scott, can we have them before or after. It’s weird when a stranded astronaut, anticipating his own death, starts telling you about the benefit of his preferred daily supplements.”Now, about that ad you mentioned for Rise… guilty as charged. I got a little too excited sharing it because, honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me. No more diabetic neuropathy pain, no more numbness, way more energy — I actually feel like myself again.And here’s the thing: I want that for you, too. So if you’re curious, there’s a link for Rise in the description, or you can just head over to lostscifi.com and click the link at the top of the page.Ever notice how some of these old sci-fi stories had a way of peeking into the future? It’s almost spooky sometimes.That’s exactly what happens in this one — written by none other than Pulitzer Prize–winning author Michael Shaara. Yep, that Michael Shaara. Long before he won the big prize for The Killer Angels, he was cooking up sharp, clever science fiction. This gem comes straight out of the October 1956 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction.

Thornwald had done his tour of duty for the Solar Service; now it was time for him to retire. But a life of relaxation would not be simple on—Bleekman's Planet by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you picked up the February 1957 issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy, you’d probably think today’s story was written by Ivar Jorgensen. But here’s the twist—it was actually written by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg. So why didn’t they take credit for it?That issue contained six stories in total. Garrett’s name was on The Time Snatcher—a story you may remember from an earlier episode of the podcast. And “Bob” Silverberg (not Robert, as the magazine listed him) was credited with Outcast of the Stars.But if you flip through that February 1957 issue, you’ll also see a story titled The Incomplete Theft, which was indeed written by Garrett and Silverberg. Only, in the magazine, the author’s name is given as Ralph Burke.So here’s the wild part: out of six stories in that issue, four were actually written by Garrett and Silverberg!We will discover today’s story on page 108, Bleekman's Planet by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Being unique is a matter of pride—but being a complete mathematical impossibility?

The space ships were miracles of power and precision; the men who manned them, rich in endurance and courage. Every detail had been checked and double checked; every detail except—The Nothing Equation by Tom Godwin. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Tom Godwin was born in Maryland back in 1915, and life wasn’t exactly easy for him early on—he left school after the third grade. But he had a wild imagination and a passion for stories, which eventually led him to the world of science fiction in the 1950s. He didn’t write a ton, but the stories he did publish really stuck—most famously The Cold Equations, a tale that’s still sparking debates today. Godwin had a way of throwing ordinary people into extraordinary, no-win situations, and that’s what made his work unforgettable.Just so you know The Cold Equations is on our list of stories to narrate in the future.Ordinary people, extraordinary situations is a good way to introduce our story. Let’s turn to page 87 in the December 1957 issue of Amazing Stories, The Nothing Equation by Tom Godwin…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Haunted by their dark heritage, a medieval fate awaited them… Strange Alliance by Bryce Walton☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV===========================Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://x.com/LostSciFiPodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostscifiguyThreads - https://www.threads.net/@scottscifiguy=========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee$200 Someone$100 Tony from the Future$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 Anonymous Listener$25 Someone, Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener$15 Every Month Someone$15 Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener$10 Anonymous Listener$5 Every Month Eaten by a Grue$5 Denis Kalinin, Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous ListenerPlease participate in our podcast survey https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/gNLcxQlk Hosted on Acast.

We featured the story Hot Planet written by Clement almost a year ago.Back in December 1953, a lot was happening. A devastating tornado outbreak in the Southern US claimed 49 lives, and on the other side of the world, a tragic train accident in New Zealand took 151 lives when a bridge collapsed. Meanwhile, in the US, the very first color TVs hit the shelves—though with their steep price tags, most folks didn’t bring one home until the mid-60s or even the early 70s.And the December 1953 issue of Science Fiction Adventures brought readers Consignment by Alan E. Nourse and The Hanging Stranger by Philip K. Dick—two incredible stories you might remember from the podcast. On page 142 of that issue we will find today’s story, Ground by Hal Clement…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The space ships were miracles of power and precision; the men who manned them, rich in endurance and courage.

He knew, to the exact minute, when he was going to die. And Earth was too far away to reach…. And Miles To Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan... That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.More 5 star reviews on Apple Podcasts! This from FabRascal67, “Great, but… Love the storytelling. Keeps the mind busy during slow periods at work. My only complaint is I wish the covers weren’t done by AI.”Thanks FabRascal67!And this 5 star review is from Tiger101000, “Great stories… anti AI. Love the show! Perfect bedtime stories for the sci fi lover. Great narration. Disappointed in the AI episode covers.”Thanks Tiger101000!!Before The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our plan was to narrate these stories so people could buy them all over the world. The problem was not many people bought them. After working full time narrating these stories, and trading six months of my life to do so, we had made $180. My wife thought I was crazy. I thought about giving up, but then I decided to create new covers using AI. Like it or not people DO judge a book by its cover and the ones I created were horrible. AI didn’t make a difference, it made a huge difference and a few months later The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast was born. If it hadn’t been for those new AI images I would have given up and there would never have been a Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.My hope is that the audio you listen to on the podcast is of sufficient quality that you will overlook the images if you don’t like them.William F. Nolan returns to our podcast today with a really short story. You may remember Small World by Nolan, one of my favorites, which we released almost 3 years ago.

Seeing it in action, anybody would quaver in alarm: What hath Farnsworth overwrought? The Big Bounce by Walter S. Tevis. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today’s tale comes from an author whose name may not be as instantly recognizable as some, but whose work has left a lasting impact on both science fiction and American literature.Born in San Francisco in 1928, Walter Tevis spent much of his childhood in poor health, even spending a year in a convalescent home while his family moved to Kentucky without him. He was 11 when he took a train across the country by himself to reunite with his family. That early experience of isolation would later echo through many of his stories.While best known for his six novels — including the science fiction classic The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Hustler, and The Color of Money, all of which became major motion pictures and The Queen’s Gambit which was adapted in a Netflix miniseries, he also penned over a dozen short stories.From the pages of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in February 1958, turn to page 37, The Big Bounce by Walter S.

A shattered Earth suddenly remembered poor Hathaway, marooned all alone there on Mars by the mad rush homeward. But—was Hathaway alone? Dwellers in Silence by Ray Bradbury. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.From time to time, we feature stories that were published in more than one magazine—often under different titles. That means we sometimes have to decide which title to use. Today, Ray Bradbury returns to the podcast with a story that first appeared in Maclean’s Magazine, published in Toronto, Canada, in its September 1948 issue, titled The Long Years. A few months later, in the Spring 1949 edition of Planet Stories, the tale resurfaced under a new title on page 51, Dwellers in Silence by Ray Bradbury…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Together they discussed the Nobles—the old prospector and the weary, frightened man.

The professor invented a perfume that would never come off! He didn't know it was irresistible. The Irresistible Perfume by Harold Lawlor. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Harold Lawlor was born in 1910—though sources differ on whether his birthplace was Ireland or Chicago. Little is known about his life, but between 1942 and 1953, he wrote 35 short stories, many of which appeared in pulp magazines of the era. Lawlor is also credited with writing three episodes of the 1961 television series Thriller, according to the Internet Movie Database. One of his standout stories, “What Beckoning Ghost?”, published in the July 1948 issue of Weird Tales, later served as the inspiration for the 1979 film Dominique, starring Cliff Robertson, Jean Simmons, and Jenny Agutter.From Fantasic Adventures Magazine in May 1943, let’s turn to page 102, The Irresistible Perfume by Harold Lawlor.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A shattered Earth suddenly remembered poor Hathaway, marooned all alone there on Mars by the mad rush homeward.

When a brilliant inventor tries to control volcanic eruptions with a mechanical valve, his bold experiment threatens to unleash fiery chaos on an unsuspecting world. The Volcanic Valve by W. L. Alden. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Is Humorous Historical Science Fiction a real genre? I have no idea—but if it isn’t, someone better invent it fast, because The Volcanic Valve would be its founding father, spiritual guide, and poster child.W. L. Alden, born October 9th, 1837, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, wore many hats: journalist, fiction writer, humorist, canoe fanatic (yes, really), and U.S. diplomat in Rome from 1885 to 1890. Somewhere between paddling rivers and negotiating foreign policy, he also found time to be hilarious.Oddly enough, Alden didn’t dive into science fiction until he was in his mid-50s. Maybe he just needed a few decades to warm up. But once he got going, he cranked out 30 short stories in 10 years—because who needs sleep?Today’s story, The Volcanic Valve, is inspired by a real event that happened a little more than a decade before it was written.

As I started digging into his background, I was amazed to learn that he wrote nearly 200 novels, 400 novelettes, and 800 short stories across a wide range of genres, often under various pseudonyms. No wonder he earned the nickname “King of the Pulps!”Born in 1887 in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, Bedford-Jones became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1908. Just six years later, his first novel was published, marking the start of a remarkably prolific career.And as if that wasn’t enough, he also worked as a journalist for the Boston Globe and even wrote poetry.

A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment. Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another podcast, another debut—this time for author Edwin Baird. Best known as the first editor of Weird Tales magazine, Baird helped launch the iconic American fantasy and horror pulp, whose first issue was dated March 1923 and hit newsstands on February 18 of that year.However, Weird Tales got off to a rocky start. Plagued by financial difficulties, the magazine struggled, and Baird was dismissed after just one year at the helm. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1886, Baird published four short stories during his lifetime—three before Weird Tales and one in the very magazine that let him go.Yet perhaps his most enduring legacy lies in his editorial decisions. As the magazine’s founding editor, Baird was among the first to publish the work of a now-legendary author: H.P. Lovecraft. And if you’ve heard our earlier episodes, you’ll recall that Lovecraft was a tireless letter writer. Thankfully many of his letters were preserved, including this one to Baird.Shortly after the first issue of Weird Tales was published Lovecraft let himself be persuaded to send Edwin Baird five manuscripts. This is a portion of the letter Lovecraft sent, “My Dear Sir: Having a habit of writing weird, macabre, and fantastic stories for my own amusement, I have lately been simultaneously hounded by nearly a dozen well-meaning friends into deciding to submit a few of these Gothic horrors to your newly-founded periodical. The decision is herewith carried out. Enclosed are five tales written between 1917 and 1923.I have no idea that these things will be found suitable, for I pay no attention to the demands of commercial writing. My object is such pleasure as I can obtain from the creation of certain bizarre pictures, situations, or atmospheric effects; and the only reader I hold in mind is myself.My models are invariably the older writers, especially Poe, who has been my favorite literary figure since early childhood. Should any miracle impel you to consider the publication of my tales, I have but one condition to offer; and that is that no excisions be made. If the tale can not be printed as written, down to the very last semicolon and comma, it must gracefully accept rejection.”So there you have it, a little piece of science fiction history thanks to Weird Tales editor Edwin Baird.Published in Weird Tales Magazine in May 1937 on page 607, Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A Certain Young Man Finds Dying a Profitable Business.

When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student’s fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. A sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Clive Staples Lewis, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898. In 1917, during the height of World War I, he enlisted in the British Army and was wounded in combat less than a year later.Though best known for his beloved children’s series, The Chronicles of Narnia—seven books published throughout the 1950s—Lewis also made a lasting mark with The Screwtape Letters in the 1940s, and his philosophical sci-fi epic, The Space Trilogy, written in the 1930s and ’40s.While he authored more than 30 books in his lifetime, Lewis rarely ventured into short fiction. Today’s featured tale marks a special occasion: his first story published in an American fantasy and science fiction magazine. From the February 1956 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction, beginning on page 68, The Shoddy Lands by C. S.

Before David’s startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.A new debut on the podcast today: the first woman to publish science fiction stories under her own name in the pulp magazines. While Francis Stevens—born Gertrude Barrows Bennett—was a trailblazer often credited as the first female science fiction writer, she published under the ambiguous name “G. M. Barrows,” using initials that concealed her gender.Clare Winger Harris didn’t hide hers. When her first short story, The Runaway World, appeared in the July 1926 issue of Weird Tales, it was credited openly to Mrs. F. C. Harris.Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1891, Clare came from a distinguished background. Her mother, Mary Stover Winger, was the daughter of D. C. Stover, the town’s wealthiest man, a renowned inventor and industrialist. Her father, Frank S. Winger, was an electrical contractor and a science fiction writer himself, having published The Wizard of the Island; or, The Vindication of Prof. Waldinger in 1917.Between 1926 and 1933, Harris wrote a dozen science fiction short stories and one novel. In the late 1930s, she moved to Pasadena, California, where she lived modestly and sometimes worked as a switchboard operator to make ends meet.Remarkably, just a year before her death in 1968, she inherited a quarter of her grandfather’s estate—valued at over two million dollars. Though he had passed away in 1908, the estate had been tied up in court battles for nearly sixty years.We will find today’s story in the very first issue of Science Wonder Quarterly in the fall of 1929, on page 78, The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student’s fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness.

A quest for identity meets the shadows of societal perception. As Rosina struggles to be seen, will she reclaim her voice or remain lost in the darkness? The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.You may be wondering why this episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast took longer to appear than a ghost at a séance. At the end of The Shunned House by H.P. Lovecraft, we promised you this story. And you probably thought, “Hey, Mary Shelley—the woman who gave us Frankenstein and The Mortal Immortal—must’ve written another bone-chilling, brain-bending slice of early sci-fi, right?”Then you saw the title: The Invisible Girl. Sounds science fiction-y, doesn’t it? Invisibility! Mystery! Possibly lasers!Yeah… about that.Halfway through recording, we realized The Invisible Girl is, well… not quite science fiction. It’s more “Victorian drama with a faint whiff of mystery” than “steampunk invisibility ray.” So we had a choice:   1.   Stop, confess our literary oopsie, and give you something more sci-fi.   2.   Finish the story, release it anyway, and throw ourselves at your mercy.We chose Option 2. Because, frankly, we’ve gotten good at begging. Would you please rate our podcast wherever you can? Five stars if you think we deserve it. See what I mean!So please forgive us—and enjoy The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, and we promise this one is science fiction!

Two men debate the limits of human understanding while sitting atop an ancient, haunted burial ground—only to be confronted by a terror that defies all form and logic. What lurks beyond language and reason may not just exist… it may be waiting. The Unnamable by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you’re enjoying the show, we’d be thrilled if you’d tell your friends. The easiest way to share the sci-fi love is by clicking the social media links in the description and posting our videos on Facebook, X, Instagram—wherever you hang out online. Thanks for listening, and thanks for helping others discover the stories we love to share!H. P. Lovecraft was an unusual man. He wrote more than 60 short stories, plus some novels and novellas, but he also penned somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 letters to friends and fans. Some of those letters were reportedly up to 50 pages long and he sometimes skipped meals to pay for postage to mail them.During his lifetime, Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived in relative obscurity. Though he wrote all those letters to other writers and his small but dedicated fans his stories were mostly published in pulp magazines, earning little money and he got almost no recognition. Sad story, but if you think that’s sad, when H. P. Lovecraft died only two people attended his funeral.Step back in time nearly a century as we crack open the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales to page 78, The Unnamable by H. P.

Long before superheroes, there was… The Crystal Man. A tale of a vanishing body and visible consequences. He was H.G. Wells before Wells. The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today we introduce you to an author that some refer to as “the lost giant of American science fiction.” Perfect for The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast don’t ya think? He wrote about an invisible man, the story you are about to hear, before H.G. Wells The Invisible Man, wrote about a time-travel machine The Clock that Went Backward before Wells's The Time Machine and more.Why was he referred to as lost? Well, Edward Page Mitchell who was born in Maine in 1852 was an editorial and short story writer for The Sun, a daily newspaper in New York City. His stories appeared in the newspaper without a byline. So his work went mostly forgotten until a lot of investigative work by science fiction historian and fellow author Sam Moskowitz in the 1970s unearthed these groundbreaking stories.Originally published in The Sun on Sunday January 30th, 1881, The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They worshiped him as a god, this man condemned to death on that lonely world, Master Of The Asteroid By Clark Ashton Smith.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV===========================🎧 Join Our Newsletter - Get Free Audiobooks http://lostscifi.com/free/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://x.com/LostSciFiPodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostscifiguyThreads - https://www.threads.net/@scottscifiguyBluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/lostscifipodcast.bsky.social=========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee$200 Someone$100 Tony from the Future$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 Anonymous Listener$25 Someone, Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener$15 Every Month Someone$15 Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener$10 Anonymous Listener$5 Denis Kalinin, Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous ListenerPlease participate in our podcast survey https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/gNLcxQlk Hosted on Acast.

One man alone on a planet of death. — A deadly robot made especially to pursue a human being. Was it just a cruel sport devised for some bloodthirsty pleasure? Built to Kill, Programmed to Chase—The Ultimate Predator Has No Mercy. Man-Hunting Robot by James Rosenquest. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today’s featured author is James Rosenquest—and no, not James Rosenquist, the famous American pop artist. When you search for our James Rosenquest online, Google will try to convince you that you meant the other guy. But we’re here to shine a light on the lesser-known Rosenquest—the science fiction writer.So what do we know about him? Honestly, not a whole lot. He published just five sci-fi stories in 1959 and one more in 1960—and then disappeared from the literary scene. That’s the entirety of his known work. But as always, even brief sparks can leave a lasting impression.

Alone in a world buried by endless snow and ice the last man on Earth drifts through a twilight of silence and memory. Time has lost all meaning... The Coming of the Ice by G. Peyton Wertenbaker. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.The year was 1926 and although there had been science fiction stories in magazines, there had never been an entire magazine devoted to science fiction. Hugo Gernsback was the man who would change the course of science fiction with the birth of Amazing Stories magazine which began publishing in April 1926. In case you were wondering the Hugo Award is named after this sci-fi pioneer. The first two magazines were filled with reprints, stories that had already been published, by Jules Verne, H. G. Wells and Edgar Allen Poe among others. G. Peyton Wertenbaker's short story The Man From the Atom appeared in that first issue but it too was a reprint, having been previously published 8 months earlier in Science and Invention magazine which was also published by Gernsback.Wertenbaker was born in New Castle, Delaware in 1907, he wrote a handful of sci-fi stories and then turned his attention to other pursuits, literary and otherwise. He served on the editorial board of Fortune magazine from 1933 to 1938, and became a contributing editor to Time Magazine in 1939. During World War Two he served as an air combat intelligence officer in the Pacific. In 1958 he joined NASA as a speechwriter, eventually becoming chief historian of the Aerospace Medical Division. The story you are about to hear was the first original paid story to appear in Amazing Stories in June 1926 on page 232, The Coming of the Ice by G.

Lake of Fire by Frank Belknap Long. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.We don’t usually tease the next episode before sharing the story you’re about to hear—but today, we’re making an exception.

You won’t want to miss it.Mars is the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Close enough to dream about visiting, colonizing, or even finding life, yet alien enough to be mysterious.

Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature.The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories.MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston.But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored.

A tale of dark science, and the ghastly mystery that enveloped the Spanish doctor’s attempts at artificial refrigeration. Cool Air by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.The story of H. P. Lovecraft is a sad story. He lived a life marked by poverty, and personal loss. His early years were overshadowed by his father’s descent into madness, which led to his institutionalization and death. His mother, similarly afflicted with mental illness, was overprotective and instilled in him a sense of fragility and isolation.As a child, Lovecraft was a prodigy, reading and writing at an early age, but frequent illnesses and nervous conditions kept him from completing high school. He lived with his controlling mother and struggled throughout his life with self-doubt.His writing, though prolific, was largely unrecognized during his lifetime, and he was forced to become a ghostwriter just to scrape by.Lovecraft was diagnosed with cancer and was virtually unknown at the time of his death at the age of 46, and though he never achieved fame or financial success in life, his influence on horror and science fiction remains unparalleled.Today’s story was published two years after Lovecraft died and appears in the September 1939 issue of Weird Tales Magazine on page 95, Cool Air by H.

Just because an event "has to" happen, some people think that, of course, it will happen. It ain't necessarily so! Ballard had but a few hours to solve the problem, and he knew that the answer was there, before his eyes—if he could see it in time! Momentum by Charles Dye. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.We are so thankful for your 5 star reviews and they are coming in faster than ever. RCraig had this to say on Apple Podcasts US, “ Sci-Fi at its best! This is the best of the best sci-fi podcasts. I love the stories and the narration and I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who like science fiction!” Thanks RCraig for the 5 stars and that awesome review. We would love it if you would leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, if you think we deserve it. And even though Spotify doesn’t allow reviews you can give us 5 stars on Spotify, where we currently enjoy a 4.9 rating.Thanks for everything you do to support our podcast.Another podcast and another author makes his debut. Charles Dye was born in San Fernando, California, in 1925. His first published story, The Last Orbit, appeared in the February 1950 issue of Amazing Stories. He is credited with having written seventeen short stories and one novel. One of the stories Charles Dye is known for wasn’t actually written by him. If you open Planet Stories magazine from July 1952, you’ll find The Man Who Staked the Stars credited to Dye. However, the story was actually written by Katherine MacLean, who was briefly married to him. The reason MacLean gave Dye credit remains unknown.By the way, The Man Who Staked the Stars is a novella—a work of fiction longer than a short story but shorter than a full-length novel, typically ranging from 17,500 to 40,000 words, according to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.Let’s peel back the pages of Future combined with Science Fiction Stories in July 1951 to page 59, Momentum by Charles Dye…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I don’t normally do this but the story you will hear next on the podcast is one of my favorites, The last living man on a world rendered utterly lifeless by all–consuming fire– how could he start life alone?

It was a wonderful plan, a boon to humanity. And solving the parking problem would make a fortune for Slim and me. But when the secret got out… Parking Unlimited By Noel Loomis. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Noel Loomis was born in Wakita, Oklahoma Territory in 1905, two years before it became a state. And if Wakita Oklahoma rings a bell it might be because it was one of the filming locations for the motion picture blockbuster Twister. This tiny town near the Oklahoma border with Kansas had less than 400 people when Loomis was born and only around 300 today.Although he wrote science fiction Loomis is best known for his Westerns. He won the Spur award for Best Western Novel in 1958 for Short Cut to Red River. He won the award again the next year for a short story, Grandfather Out of the Past.Noel Loomis penned two science fiction novels and about 30 science fiction short stories.

There is that danger, these days.”As it turned out, history took a little longer—nearly three years later, on May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space, piloting Freedom 7 for 15 minutes and 28 seconds.Open the pages of Fantastic Universe to page 4, Trainee for Mars by Harry Harrison…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, To those who were the goggle of Dr. Dragonet there is another world–of mystery, joy and, yes, terror… The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet by Fritz Leiber.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV===========================Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://x.com/LostSciFiPod=========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee$200 Someone$100 Tony From the Future$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 Anonymous Listener$25 Someone, Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener$15 Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener$10 Anonymous Listener$5 Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous ListenerPlease participate in our podcast survey https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/gNLcxQlk Hosted on Acast.

Two bitter rival scientists are locked in a feud that consumes their lives, but nature has a strange way of taking sides. When an eerie moth appears, the battle takes an unexpected and unsettling turn. A Moth by H. G. Wells. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If today’s story sounds familiar but you're scratching your head thinking, I thought it was called The Moth, you’re right. It was not uncommon for stories to have more than one title in the early days of science fiction. When a story was reprinted in a different magazine, anthology, or even in another country, the editor or publisher sometimes altered the title to better fit the publication’s style or market.Whether you know it as The Moth or A Moth it’s still the same story and a very good one regardless of the title.

Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Francis Stevens. But after today’s story you will probably never forget her. She has been called “the woman who invented dark fantasy.”She was born Gertrude Mabel Barrows in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1883. Some say her middle name was Myrtle instead of Mabel but since the state of Minnesota and the county where she was born don’t have birth records going back that far we will never know.She wrote her first short story at age 17, a science fiction story titled The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar. She mailed the story to Argosy. The story was accepted and published in the March 1904 issue, listing the author as "G. M.

The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble!

That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Until today, we had never narrated a story by William Tenn—though, in truth, William Tenn never actually wrote a story. How is that possible?

He grew up in Brooklyn, served in the Army during World War II, and later spent 22 years as a professor at Penn State University.Klass wrote over 60 short stories, beginning in 1946 with Alexander the Bait, which appeared in Astounding Science Fiction. Most of his work was published during the 1950s.

Adventure flamed in Mr. Meek's timorous heart, the surge of battle and singing blades. And so, with a rocket-ship for his steed and a ray-gun for his sword, he sallied forth ... carrying cavalier justice to the resentful shining stars. Mr. Meek—Musketeer by Clifford D. Simak. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.There have been a flood of 5 star reviews in countries all over the world recently. This 5 star review is from Paulzzzzzz on Apple Podcasts Great Britain, “Wondrous stories. I absolutely love the podcasts. Scott is such a wonderful voice actor and brings every character to life! Keep up the great work guys! From a fellow Astral Traveler.”Thanks Paulzzzzzz! We will never be able to thank you and all our listeners around the world enough for our success. Your reviews make a difference and help grow our audience, thank you!Clifford D. Simak has been on the podcast many times and he’s back today with the first of two stories back to back. Let’s turn back the clock almost 81 years ago to the Summer 1944 issue of Planet Stories magazine. Today’s story can be found right after a story we featured on the podcast a long time ago, Morgue Ship by Ray Bradbury. Go to page 58 and you will find, Mr. Meek—Musketeer by Clifford D. Simak…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Mr. Meek was having his troubles. First, the educated bugs worried him; then the welfare worker tried to stop the Ring Rats' feud by enlisting his aid. And now, he was a drafted space-polo player—a fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life. Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D.

The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west weren’t settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen — the men who didn’t fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space… Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.As we get ready to celebrate our 3rd anniversary, we thought it was the perfect time to try something new! Today’s story is a great example—it shares the same title as yesterday’s, but it’s by a completely different author and tells a totally different tale. And that’s not the only first! We’re also thrilled to welcome author Katherine MacLean to the podcast for the very first time.Katherine Anne MacLean was born in 1925 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and she was one of the early female voices in science fiction. Unlike some women writers of the 1950s who used male pen names, MacLean published most of her work under her own name. She made her debut with Defense Mechanism in the October 1949 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, and over the years, she wrote more than 40 short stories—most of them in the 1950s, though she kept writing all the way into the 1990s.Katherine MacLean even got a chance to write for television! She penned an episode for the 1962 British sci-fi series Out of This World, which was hosted by none other than Boris Karloff. Her episode, Pictures Don’t Lie, aired on August 11, 1962, and was based on her short story of the same name. Out of This World on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhWWABp1BJ4Her work also made it to the big screen—her 1953 short story The Carnivore was adapted into the 2016 Brazilian film Carnívora. Let’s flip through the May 1954 issue of Science Fiction Adventures magazine and turn to page 78, Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Adventure flamed in Mr. Meek's timorous heart, the surge of battle and singing blades.

The tiny asteroid with the frightened girl and the wrecked spacer with the grim young man slowly spun closer and closer ... but the real danger came after the crash! Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Special thanks to Paul Belcher for his 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, “My New Favorite Podcast. I’m so impressed with this unassuming, yet extremely entertaining podcast. I love the narration, the little facts about each story, and the interesting mix of authors and different sub genres within the overarching sci-fi subject. It’s been fun rediscovering classics and hearing some of the more obscure authors for my first time. Thanks Scott - I appreciate your hard work and dedication!” Paul we appreciate your spectacular review and thanks for listening!! If you haven’t already left us a 5 star review, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it if you did.Like others we’ve featured on the podcast Clyde Beck was a science fiction fan before he was a sci-fi author. His short stories were published only four times, first in 1930, then in 1947, 1950 and 1953. Beck was born in California in 1912 and died there in 1986.Collision Orbit was published in Planet Stories magazine in the summer of 1950. Two other stories we’ve shared on the podcast appeared in that issue, Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair and The Enormous Word by William Oberfield.

What happens when a secret society demands your fortune—or sacrifices innocent lives instead? An electrifying tale of power, greed, and morality. The Minions of Midas by Jack London. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It’s been nearly two weeks since we narrated A Thousand Deaths by Jack London, and since then, we’ve received numerous requests for more stories from one of America’s most renowned authors. We appreciate your emails and encourage you to tell us what you what to hear on the podcast, scott@lostscifi.com.Jack London was an interesting character. He ran for Mayor of Oakland, California twice in 1901 and 1905 as the Socialist candidate and lost both both times garnering less than a thousand votes in those elections.Did you know that today’s story The Minions of Midas was turned into a Netflix series in 2020? The show is set in Madrid, Spain, and while it’s originally in Spanish, it’s also available in English. How cool is that? A story Jack London wrote back in 1901—that was mostly overlooked for nearly 120 years—is now a full-blown miniseries! I found it here in Costa Rica, but I’m not sure if it’s available everywhere.Chances are you have never read nor ever heard The Minions of Midas but that is about to change.

Trapped in a horrifying cycle of death and resurrection, a man becomes the unwilling subject of a mad-mans twisted experiments. A tantalizing tale of science, survival, and the fight for freedom. A Thousand Deaths by Jack London. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.John Griffith Chaney, famously known as Jack London, was born in 1876. He was among the first American writers to achieve international fame and financial success through his work. At the age of 21, in 1897, London embarked on a journey to the Klondike during the Gold Rush, an experience that inspired some of his earliest and most successful stories.In 1899, Jack London was living in poverty, desperately submitting stories in the hope of earning one cent per word, the standard rate for fiction he had read about. When he finally sold a 4,000-word story, he was dismayed to receive only $5.00 for it. Reflecting on this moment, London later wrote, “I was finished—finished as only a very young, very sick, and very hungry young man could be … I would never write again.”However, that same day, he received a letter from the publisher of The Black Cat, responding to his submission of A Thousand Deaths. The publisher requested permission to cut the story in half and offered $40 if London agreed. London recalled, “It was the equivalent to twenty dollars per thousand, or double the minimum rate.

I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil. The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Dorothy Gertrude Quick was born in Brooklyn on September 1st 1896. She was a prolific writer of horror, detective fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Dorothy was a girl of 11 when she met Mark Twain, actually Samuel L. Clemens, on an Atlantic crossing from England. She was returning to Plainfield, N.J., from Europe with her parents. Recognizing Twain by his wavy hair and white suit, she walked around and around the deck, passing very slowly by his chair each time, until he finally came over and introduced himself.It was the beginning of a friendship that was to last until the very day of his death. After the voyage she received a telegram from Twain asking whether she would prefer as a birthday present "one elephant or 10,000 monkeys." She replied that she would prefer his books - which he sent her, along with a tiny white elephant. If you’ve seen the 1991 TV movie “Mark Twain and Me” well now you know who wrote it.We will find our story on page 32 in Weird Tales magazine published in November 1952, The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It was only a tiny scout ship from somewhere beyond the stars; only one alien creature occupied it.

Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbinger—or Darwin, if you prefer—are gone to other times. Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you are a regular listener of the podcast you know we love to discover interesting stories by authors you have never heard of, and that’s exactly what we have for you today. Here’s what Fantastic Universe had to say, “Mr. Hunter's superb art work has appeared on a baker's dozen science fiction magazine covers during the past year, but incredible as it may seem with this story we introduce him to the reading public for the first time as a science fiction writer. We say incredible, because this is not a beginner's story. It is sparkling, sophisticated, erudite—the work of a craftsman.”This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And here’s the amazing thing, he wasn’t any old illustrator, Mel Hunter was a very accomplished illustrator producing illustrations for famous science fiction authors Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a technical and scientific illustrator for The Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.Hunter was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois and he taught himself book and magazine illustration. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960, 1961 and 1962. He became a technical illustrator at Northrop Aircraft where he painted illustrations of advanced aircraft and simulated combat scenarios.His love of air and space took him from California's desert runways to Florida's seacoast launchpads to illustrate every variety of jet-age aircraft and space-age rocket imaginable—from the X-15 to Saturn V. He died in 2004 and according to his final wish, his cremated remains were launched into space on May 22, 2012.Savor this story, immerse yourself in it, and listen to it as many times as your heart desires—for it stands alone, as the singular science fiction story ever penned by Mel Hunter. From Fantastic Universe Magazine in September 1954, this truly amazing story can be found on page 39, Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil.

It’s not that we don’t know the name of the magazine, the name of the magazine is called Unknown.

A picture is worth a thousand words—especially if they're Martian words and nobody can understand them. So Mars put on a spectacular for Earth, using the skies as a TV screen. This proved the superiority of their science. But their morals—Wow! Cosmic Striptease by Harlan Ellison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Harlan Ellison earned the nickname “The Bad Boy of Science Fiction” due to his bold, outspoken personality, controversial opinions, and unrelenting refusal to conform to societal or literary norms.Ellison frequently criticized the science fiction community, literary trends, and even societal norms, often in a way that sparked debate and controversy. He was involved in numerous public feuds with other writers, editors, and critics. Ellison’s combination of immense talent, uncompromising principles, and a penchant for stirring the pot earned him the well deserved title “The Bad Boy of Science Fiction.”And then there is the story you are about to hear. It was published in 1958 and to say that it pushed boundaries is an understatement.

Fear is often Man's greatest enemy. But when there is nothing left to lose, there is everything to gain.... And with everything to gain, where is the enemy? The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If the name Herbert D. Kastle rings a bell, it’s likely not because of his science fiction work. Kastle, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, was primarily known as a thriller novelist, with an impressive seventeen titles to his name. Though his contributions to science fiction were modest—three short stories in the 1950s and another three in the 1960s—he gained some recognition for his 1964 sci-fi novel The Reassembled Man.In addition to his literary work, Kastle’s 1975 novel Cross-Country was adapted into a feature film in 1983. He also ventured into television, co-writing an episode of Bonanza that aired in 1967.Today's tale of woe in a post-apocalyptic world is on page 94 in the May 1955 publication of If Worlds of Science Fiction, The Outer Quiet by Herbert D.

Take one tiny memory out of a man's life—and the entire universe may turn topsy turvy. My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another podcast and another vintage science fiction author you’ve probably never heard of. The story you are about to hear is her first published story and as far as we can tell, her only science fiction story. We found three novels written by Rhoads, The Lonely Women, A Place to Sleep, and Enough Romance. There’s a listing on eBay for an autographed copy of Enough Romance which will set you back $120.Her only sci-fi short story appeared in the October 1954 issue of Fantastic Universe. They had this to say about her, Gerda Rhoads was born in Vienna and came to the United States with her parents by way of London and Rio. She was educated at Hunter College, became a ballet dancer, took up painting and has done some very charming canvases. Then she married a painter and they went to Paris and she turned to writing. Sounds glamorous, doesn't it? With the publication of this her first story Gerda Rhoads proves her pen is glamor-tipped too.

Today on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we go back 119 years and introduce you to a story by an author we have never featured on the podcast before. The Man Who Did Things Twice and a second story by Don Mark Lemon, The Spider and the Fly. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Don Mark Lemon was born in Arizona in September 1877, he wrote 15 short stories and 1 novel, The Scarlet Planet, which was published in 1930.His first published short story, Doctor Goldman, can be found in the December 1900 issue of The Black Cat which launched in 1895. The Black Cat sold for five cents and encouraged amateur writers to submit stories. As the story goes the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild might never have been written if not for The Black Cat.

An unusual story, about the darkness that settled like a black cloud, and the horror that came with it. Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today marks the debut of an author I had never heard of, and yet he was one of the most prolific authors during the pulp fiction era. Some say he wrote more than 1,200 stories, others say it was only 1,000. Our author says he wrote more than 800 stories in the 1930s.Hugh B. Cave was born in Chester, England, in 1910 and relocated during his childhood with his family to Boston, Massachusetts, shortly after the beginning of World War I. After World War II he moved to Jamaica where he rebuilt and managed a successful coffee plantation. He returned to the United States in the early 1970s after the Jamaican government confiscated his plantation.Cave is celebrated for his mastery in horror, fantasy, and science fiction, although his work also included westerns, romance, crime and non-fiction. With an impressive body of work that spans over seven decades, Cave penned hundreds of short stories, more than 20 novels, and screenplays that captivated audiences with their gripping narratives as you are about to discover. Three of his stories were adapted for television in the 1950s.Let’s go back in time to October 1932 and open Weird Tales magazine to page 522, Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B.

Two Earthmen are trapped in an invisible maze on the planet Venus. In the Walls of Eryx by H. P.

He is perhaps most well-known for his John Grimes novels and for the Rim World Series.He was a merchant marine officer, sailing the world in everything from steamers to troopships for three decades.

His debut on our podcast also marks the debut of Space Travel magazine in July 1958. Space Travel magazine was published for only three issues, although the magazine got its start as Imaginative Tales in 1954 before the short lived rebranding.

It wasn't that Kroll enjoyed watching the traitors broken in body and spirit. But why did they keep insisting they were innocent before—The Inquisitor. By Robert Silverberg, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Science Fiction Grand Master Robert Silverberg has been on the podcast many times with The Mystery of Deneb IV, Never Trust a Thief, Planet of the Angry Giants, Monsters that Once Were Men and several others. He returns today with a short story from December 1956 that appeared in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy. We often hear from listeners who say they don’t understand why authors use pen names. This issue is a great example. Robert Silverberg actually wrote three stories that appeared in this issue. No magazine editor wanted one author to appear multiple times in a single magazine, readers might not like it. So the solution was simple, use a different name, or in this case names.The Alien Dies at Dawn, which you will hear on the podcast in the not too distant future, was credited to Alexander Blade but was written by Silverberg, as was Lair of the Dragonbird. On page 106 of the December 1956 of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy we will find today’s story, The Inquisitor By Robert Silverberg…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Orthedrin, maxiton and glutamic acid—they were the prescription that made him king of his world!

If you would like to show your support for our podcast there is a link in the description.  ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVToday marks the debut of another vintage sci-fi author, Randall Garrett. Garrett was among the most prolific science fiction authors during the 1950s and 1960s with most of his more than 180 short stories during that time. He wrote under a long list of pen names which includes David Gordon, Blake MacKenzie, Seaton McKettrig, Clyde Mitchell, Mark Phillips, Robert Randall, Leonard G. Spencer, S. M. Tenneshaw and Gerald Vance. He was good friends with Robert Silverberg and the two of them wrote many short sci-fi stories together. In fact, this may not actually be Randall Garrett’s debut. He may have written Six Frightened Men with Robert Silverberg but we’re not 100% sure.We are sure of one thing, we will be featuring more of his work in the future. The June 1957 issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine was an unusual issue. In its pages were three stories with the same name, kind of. Isaac Asimov wrote a story named Blank! with an exclamation mark which appeared on page 88. Harlan Ellison’s story titled Blank with no punctuation can be found on page 99.

Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clark, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today on the podcast you will hear the very first published story written by then 19 year old Arthur C. Clarke. It’s a story we probably never would have discovered if not for sci-fi aficionado Jesse Willis. In fact, there are many stories you have heard that he has shared with us. He has a database of more than 7,000 pdf files that you can download and enjoy and a lot more too, at https://www.sffaudio.com.Your 5 star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts never get old. The latest was written by WillEKY, who says, “My favorite podcast. I love this selection of vintage science fiction stories. They are always interesting and entertaining. Narrator and curator Scott Miller does a good job of balancing his own taste for obscure works with popular demand for stories from bigger name authors. High quality narration from a former television professional. My goal was to listen to every episode before leaving this well-earned 5 star review but I realized that the backlog is so deep and the pace at which Scott produces new stories is so steady that it will be a longtime before I’m caught up.” Thanks WillEKY for your outstanding review.Thanks to you we recently became the #1 science fiction podcast in Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. We also achieved the rare status of being #1 for all fiction podcasts as well as the #1 science fiction podcast in Bulgaria at the same time.

In the city of strange wonders, the lure of the flame drew them on and on… destruction loomed ahead… The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today marks the debut of Clark Ashton Smith on our podcast. Smith was born in California in 1893. He was an insatiable reader with a photographic memory. He read an unabridged dictionary word for word, studying the definitions of the words and their origins. He read the complete 11th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica at least twice.He started writing at 11. By 14 he had written a short adventure novel titled The Black Diamonds which was lost for decades until was published in 2002 more than 41 years after his death.Smith was poor most of his life and often did manual labor jobs like fruit picking and woodcutting to provide for himself and his parents. To say he was a prolific writer of horror and science fiction would be a huge understatement. Between 1929 and 1934 he wrote more than a hundred short stories. He began corresponding with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft and the three of them became friends although they never met.Clark Ashton Smith was praised by his peers, H. P. Lovecraft said, “in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled” and Ray Bradbury said that Smith, “filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures”. You are about to discover what Lovecraft and Bradbury were talking about.Turn back the clock 93 years and go to page 202 in Wonder Stories magazine, July 1931, The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It lay silent and dead under the cold desert moon, but what strange race inhabited the abyss beneath those cyclopean ruin?

Before he was an author Bone was a veterinarian, and a professor of veterinary medicine, served in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel and retiring in 1976. His first short story, Survival Type, didn't appear in Galaxy Science Fiction until he was 41, in 1957.About 30 short stories and 5 novels later his 21 year career as an author came to an end. Today’s story first appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in December 1958 in the United States. It was in Astounding in the UK in March of 1959. Three months later it could be found in the Dell Paperback The Year’s Greatest Science Fiction and Fantasy: 4th Annual Volume and almost 30 other publications around the world.Which would lead you to believe that this is a really good story. It is, so much so that it was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1959. Bone’s adventure can be found on page 47, Triggerman By J. F.

Howard created in a series of short stories half a century earlier.Before Conan, Howard created Kull the Conqueror, which also appeared on the big screen starring Kevin Sorbo in 1997.

The more I listen, the more it grows on me. Keep it up.

Frank Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington in 1920. His lied about his age to get the first of many newspaper jobs in 1939. Herbert loved photography, buying his first camera at the age of ten. In 1942, during World War II, he was a photographer in the U.S. Navy’s Seabees. He served for six months but suffered a head injury and was given a medical discharge.Frank Herbert said he had been reading science fiction for about ten years, before he began writing sci-fi, and said some of his favorite authors were H. G. Wells, Robert A. Heinlein, Poul Anderson and Jack Vance.His first science fiction story Looking for Something, was published in the April 1952 issue of Startling Stories.He began researching Dune in 1959 and the novel was published six years later. But, did you know the world was first exposed to the Dune World in a December 1963 issue of Analog science fiction magazine. It was featured on the cover. That 1963 issue contained Part One of Thee Parts of Dune World.Dune was then rejected by almost twenty book publishers, and in his rejection letter one editor wrote, "I might be making the mistake of the decade, but…”Sterling Lanier of the Chilton Book Company, the company most often associated with automobile repair manuals, was exposed to Dune World in Analog and offered Herbert a $7,500 advance plus future royalties for the rights to publish Dune.Obviously Dune was a success, winning the Nebula Award for best novel in 1965 and sharing the Hugo Award in 1966 with Call Me Conrad by Roger Zelazny. However, Dune, was not an immediate bestseller, and following its publication he went back to writing for newspapers. He didn’t become a full-time author until 1972.In addition to his numerous novels Herbert wrote about 30 short stories, six of them are in the public domain.

If you would like to buy us a coffee there’s a link in the description. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVWe get more requests for today’s author than anybody else. He was 18 years old when he wrote this story in 1938, it wasn’t published until 1942, under a pseudonym. Perhaps because he used a pseudonym he forgot that this story was ever published and so, assuming it had been rejected and believing he no longer had a copy of it he didn't include it in a collection of his earliest stories in 1972. In that book he listed today’s story among the eleven of his short stories that has been lost forever.Seven years later in 1979 while writing the first volume of his autobiography he came across an entry in his diary that reminded him that the story had indeed been published.This story truly is “lost sci-fi”. From the pages of Super Science Stories in May 1942, let’s turn to page 115. H. B. Ogden was credited in the publication with having written this story, but we know that it was really written by a legendary sci-fi author, The Weapon by Isaac Asimov…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, To the mighty lords of infinity he sent a burning message–“You can deny a man everything–everything but his heritage… the stars!” Outcast of the Stars by Ray Bradbury.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV=========================== 👕 Merchandise - https://lostscifi.creator-spring.com====================================================== Connect with us! 🎧 Join Our Newsletter - Get Free Audiobooks http://lostscifi.com/free/Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/lostscifi/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgyNZ7w5w7O714NHkRv5psAFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/lost_sci_fi=========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee $200 Someone$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 Anonymous Listener$25 Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener$15 Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener$10 Anonymous Listener$5 Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous ListenerPlease participate in our podcast survey https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/gNLcxQlk Hosted on Acast.

As a teenager, he became a member of the Futurians, an influential group of science fiction fans and writers. That’s where he met and became friends with Frederik Pohl, Donald A. Wollheim, Robert Lowndes, and his future wife Mary Byers.He wrote a handful of stories before the war and then penned 8 novels and more than 80 short stories. Kornbluth was scheduled to interview for the position of editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. He was running late because he had to shovel snow from his driveway and ran to meet his train, he suffered a fatal heart attack on the platform. He was only 34 years old.Today’s story can be found on page 112 of Infinity Science Fiction in February 1956, The Engineer by Frederik Pohl and C. M.

The narrator has me hooked!” What a compliment! Thank you Monique!!We’ve got another author making his debut on the podcast today, and although you may not recognize his name, you’ve probably seen several of his movies.Point Blank with Lee Marvin, The Split starring Jim Brown; The Hot Rock with Robert Redford; The Outfit with Robert Duvall; Bank Shot with George C. Scott; Payback in with Mel Gibson; What's the Worst That Could Happen? with Martin Lawrence and Parker with Jason Statham. There are more but you get the idea. Donald E. Westlake, born in Brooklyn in 1933, was a prolific, award-winning mystery novelist who pounded out more than 100 books and 5 screenplays on manual typewriters during a career of nearly 50 years, and he wrote more than a few science fiction short stories too. About 40 of them, and you will hear from this talented author again and again on our podcast.The title got my attention and his writing kept it all the way to the end of this terrific apocalyptic tale. It would set you back a couple of quarters to buy Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in October 1961.

This could be a Christmas story. If it is, it shows one way Peace on Earth can be attained! Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Dean Evans makes his debut on the podcast. Evans wasn’t his real name, that would be George Kull. Couldn’t find his date of birth or where he was born but we know he lived in California. The only thing I could find about him was these words from author Frederik Pohl who said, ““There was a fellow named George Kull in California…who wrote pretty good light mysteries, but he wrote them in enormous volume, and I couldn’t sell them as fast as he wrote them. He was starving to death, and he was into me for like three thousand dollars when I wrote him off.” Kull, as Dean Evans, published 12 short stories from 1951 to 1953. His first story can be found on page 113 in Galaxy Science Fiction in December 1951, Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was dangerously insane. He threatened to destroy everything that was noble and decent—including my date with my girl! The Spy in the Elevator by Donald E.

Wollheim, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.More 5 Star reviews on Apple Podcasts! I missed this from several months ago from DERREKw, who gave us 5 Stars and says, “Worthy of the Mindwebs comparison! A friend recommended I check out your show with the huge compliment that it is at times similar to “Mindwebs” only without the background music and occasional help from other voice actors. I LOVE your show. I appreciate the source material used. I’ve come to really appreciate your consistency reading each story. Keep it up! Two Thumbs up, A+, and 5 Stars from one of your newest fans in Colorado Springs.”Thanks DERREKw and I’m sorry I didn't discover your awesome review until now. If you haven’t already left us a review on Apple Podcasts we’d really appreciate your honest review if you would be so kind.Donald A. Wollheim was a sci-fi fan, author, editor and publisher. He was a founding member of The Futurians, a New York based group of science fiction fans who were a major force in science fiction writing and fandom from 1937 to 1945. The 1979 first edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction calls Wollheim "one of the first and most vociferous SF fans. He would go on to write eight novels and about a hundred short stories.The character “Ajax Calkins” the hero in today’s story, would appear in six stories written by Wollheim, but unfortunately it looks like none of them are in the public domain. We’ll meet Ajax Calkins on page 82 of the October 1941 issue of Future Combined with Science Fiction Magazine. Pogo Planet by Donald A.

What lasts forever? Does love? Does death?... Nothing lasts forever.... Not even forever Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.When I discovered this story I knew I had to narrate it, and that was before I discovered that it was written by a 15 year old descendant of Simon Bolivar, the Liberator of America. Bolivar led what are currently the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama and Bolivia to independence from the Spanish Empire.Homecoming appeared in If Worlds of Science Fiction magazine and they had this to say, “It’s a story that might have come from one of America’s more mature and experienced writers. Our assumption at first was that it did. But we were wrong. It’s a “first published” story (in America) by a young man named Miguel Hidalgo who is all of 15 years old. At first we didn't believe it, but it was confirmed and we found ourselves with not only a “first” but one that was written by the youngest writer (to our knowledge) ever to break into science fiction.”Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Miguel came to the United States, in a basket, at the age of two months. Began writing poetry at the age of five and before he was ten he had published numerous short stories as well as poetry. He traveled the world with his mother, who was one of the first women diplomats from Venezuela to the United States. How’s that for a bio.This story, and others like it, is the reason we created The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, to share with the world a story that has been forgotten. An undiscovered gem.From If Worlds of Science Fiction in April 1958, discover this forgotten treasure on page 59, Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Introducing that modest little superman, that shrinking violet of destiny, Ajax Calkins, and a world where you had to hop, in some way, to get where you wanted to go!

His saucer was parked in the woods, and Mr. Steariot (from Venus) was parked in the lobby.... Short Snorter by Charles Einstein, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.What does Willie Mays, Curb Your Enthusiasm, stuntman Super Dave Osborne and the 1991 movie Defending Your Life starring Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep and Rip Torn have to do with today’s story? The answer coming up.Thanks for listening, sharing and commenting on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. Comments on our YouTube channel have exploded in the last few weeks. Mirzamay says “I am loving your channel! Thank you for the blast from the past and the great entertainment. Phenomenal quality podcast, one of the best!” Thank you @mirzamay! Thunderace4588 had this to say “How you narrate these stories makes the characters come to life for me. Thank you Scott Miller.” Thank you @thunderace4588! Commenting on The World That Couldn’t be by Clifford D. Simak @chrisgale5634 says, “Simak was just brilliant. He is largely forgotten about these days, so it's great to honour his stories.” I agree chrisgale5634 and thanks for your comment. And harrygrimley4352 says “Narrator's voice is great. Makes me think of Casey Kasem.” Thanks harrygrimley4352 I hear that quite frequently and have heard it dating back to my days on the radio. As Casey Kasem was listened to by millions of adoring fans I accept your kind words as a huge compliment.Charles Einstein, the author of today’s story was an author and sportswriter. He was born in Boston is 1926. He was a newspaperman, specifically a baseball writer and his 1979 book, “Willie’s Time: Baseball’s Golden Age,” telling of Mays’s career and the events in American society when he starred for the Giants, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Einstein had two younger half-brothers, Bob and Albert. Bob Einstein was an actor, comedy writer and producer. He created and performed the character Super Dave Osborne and appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development. His brother and our authors half-brother was born Albert Lawrence Einstein, also known as Albert Brooks. The 1991 romantic comedy-fantasy film Defending Your Life, one of my favorite movies, was written, directed and starred Albert Brooks.There was a lot of talent in that family. Charles Einstein wrote several novels including, The Bloody Spur, on which the 1956 film While The City Sleeps, directed by Fritz Lang of Metropolis fame, was based. Charles wrote 5 short fiction stories in the late 1950s and early 60s. Look for his first short fiction story Tunnel 1971, written in 1957 in a future episode.

The fey Mr. Young continues his scholarly researches in the scientific origins of our myth and legend with this tale of an agile—and avaricious—one-man Boarding Party. Boarding Party by Robert F. Young, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.There are a lot of reasons we choose to narrate a story. Sometimes it has everything to do with the popularity of the author. Other times we’re looking to bring an author to the podcast that we’ve never shared before, such was the case recently with Evelyn E. Smith, Leigh Brackett and Andre Norton. And sometimes we narrate a story because one of our listeners requested it.But today you will hear a story because we think it’s fun. It’s as simple as that.

All Cats Are Gray by Andre Norton, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Thank you for making us one of the most popular science fiction podcasts in the world. According to Apple Podcasts we are #2 in Romania, and #3 in Portugal. More 5-star reviews on Apple Podcasts, this from NJ Short Story Fan, “Excellent Podcast. Thank you for narrating “The First Man on the Moon” - it reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode “I Shot an Arrow into the Air.” However, I think you left out the end of Alfred Coppel’s story. There is an epilogue that explains the presence of the figure as Sargon of the spacefaring Lemurians. Thank for bringing these wonderful stories from the Golden Age of Sci Fi to life. I don’t mind the ads, please keep doing what you are doing.” Thanks for your review!Oops! Thank you for letting us know about our omission at the end of “The First Man on the Moon” NJ Short Story Fan, we also received an email from Matthew McWhorter informing us of our mistake. We will record the ending and add it to the podcast and let you know here when the correct version is available. For those of you who listen on YouTube we’re not sure what we’re going to do. If you have a suggestion please email us an scott@lostscifi.com, or comment on The First Man on the Moon.Andre Norton makes her debut on the podcast today. Born Alice Mary Norton in Cleveland Ohio in 1912. Most of her stories appear under the pen name Andre Norton, but she also used Andrew North and Allen Weston. To say she was a pioneer for women writing science fiction would be a huge understatement. She was the first woman to be Gandalf Grand Master of Fantasy, to be SFWA Grand Master, and to be inducted by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.She chose to write most often under Andre Norton because she thought there was prejudice against female writers and most people thought she was a man.She would write more than 30 novels and more than 50 short stories. What you are about to hear was the second short story that published more than 70 years ago. Taken at face value the author of today’s story is Andrew North, but we know better.

The First Man On The Moon by Alfred Coppel, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.In recent weeks with the addition of commercials in our podcast some listeners have told us they have chosen to lower their rating, solely based on commercials and not because they dislike the podcast.Because of that I’m going to take a few seconds and explain why those commercials are there. Upon my death my wife will not receive my social security and will be left with no income. That bothers me, so two years ago I started narrating these stories with the hope that audiobook sales would provide her with some money. Then I added the podcast with the desire that it too might eventually generate some money so that my wife could live out the rest of her days with dignity.That’s one of the reasons why we value you and every listener we have, and everything you do to help us promote the podcast, we appreciate every one of you who buys us a coffee, or purchases merchandise from our store. You are helping me fulfill the promise I made to my wife to take care of her. I love my wife and my promise to provide for her when I’m gone is something I take very seriously.

As a sci-fi fan (and writer), and a literary audiophile, I’m getting all the itches scratched at once! Your narration is a downright pleasure - your voice has hints of the great George Guidall and that god among audiobook readers, the late Frank Muller, and yet is its own sublime signature unto itself. Thank you for doing what you do, and I hope you continue for many years to come. And now, enough from me…back to the podcast.”Josh we are so thankful for you, the coffee and the comment! To even be mentioned in the same sentence with two of the greatest audiobook narrators of all time, George Guidall and Frank Muller is as great a compliment as a narrator could ever hope to receive. I am truly honored by your kindness and will work hard to live up to such high praise.

Young. Young was born in June 1915 in tiny Silver Creek New York on the shore of Lake Erie. The population of this tiny little town when he was born was about the same as it is today, 2,600. The little-known author wrote for more than 30 years and he wrote until he died in 1986. He penned almost 200 short stories and is perhaps best known for the story, “The Dandelion Girl”.  We narrated this story because it’s different, as you are about to find out, and because we are always looking for authors that we haven’t featured previously.Our story can be found in the July 1962 issue of Amazing Stories magazine, open your copy to page 62 for, The Blonde From Barsoom by Robert F.
