The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

Rogers was a hero . . if only he hadn't come back alive! The First Spaceman by Gene L. Henderson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.We’ve heard from author Gene L. Henderson before on the podcast in a wonderfully strange tale first published in a 1953 issue of Fantastic Universe. Henderson introduced us to an alien species that, at first glance, seem adorable. But don’t let their cuteness deceive you. If you'd like to give it a listen look for The Small Bears.He’s back with another unusual story, first published in Startling Stories in February 1952 on page 117, The First Spaceman by Gene L. Henderson…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, From Xebico a strange and uncanny story came over the wire in the wan hours before the dawn. The Night Wire by H. F.

Trust Lancelot Biggs to get his ship into a mess just when speed and good navigation meant the prize contract of the year…! Lancelot Biggs: Master Navigator by Nelson S. Bond. 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. We hope Mr. Williamson can be induced to write a number of stories in a similar vein.’ And indeed he did—more than 100 short stories followed.Peel back the pages of Amazing Stories in December 1928 to page 792, The Metal Man by Jack Williamson...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Trust Lancelot Biggs to get his ship into a mess just when speed and good navigation meant the prize contract of the year…!

Multiple time–tracks lead to the Ajax Brewery! The Life–Work of Professor Muntz by Murray Leinster.

I look very much forward to it every week!!”Thank you, Ma Suzie! Reviews like yours make all the late nights and early morning hours of editing and narrating worth it.

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.

That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.When this story was published in 1957 this is what Infinity magazine had to say about it. “The Men Return is one of the most unusual stories ever written. We do not guarantee that you will like it, but we are sure that you will either like it tremendously or hate it violently. And we're very anxious to learn your reactions!”We are anxious to hear too!

“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. Flip through the yellowed pages, land on page 59, and there it is, Man of Distinction by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Consider the poor mailman of the future.

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?
