Second Census by John Victor Peterson
8 augustus 2024 · 32 min
Quintuplets alone would be bad enough, without a census taker who could count them in advance! Second Census by John Victor Peterson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
We’ve done it once again, found an author that we know almost nothing about. We don’t know when or where he was born or when he passed. But John Victor Peterson wrote more than most authors who remain almost unknown. Almost twenty published short stories and one novel, beginning with Martyrs Don't Mind Dying in 1938 and ending with The Amnesic Men in 1959.
Today’s tale was published in October 1957 in Infinity Science Fiction magazine on page 112, Second Census by John Victor Peterson…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What was the mystery of this great ship from the dark, deep reaches of space? For, within its death-filled chambers—was the avenue of life! Derelict by Alan E. Nourse.

The Beast of Boredom by Richard R. Smith - A Martian and Time Travel
23 juli 2024 · 32 min
The Beast of Boredom wasn't a weapon or a bribe, as he thought. But it was the most ingenious trap of all time! The Beast of Boredom by Richard R. Smith, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Thanks to Tif Love who bought us a coffee and says, “I listen to your podcast, and absolutely love it. So I just listened to “All the Girls were Nude” and I’m pretty sure this was well-known in some circles by the 80s, because when I was a child I would browse the back of dirty magazines in the grocery store (while moms shopped lol) and they were always advertising X-ray glasses. I found a lot the stories and ads more interesting than the nudity, I was different. Hilariously this story was probably where those ads got their start!” Thanks Tif for buying us a coffee and your interesting comment!

The Ghosts of the Heaviside Layer by Lord Dunsany
16 juli 2024 · 38 min
When he discovered something mysterious in his ancient castle, he asked a scientist for help. It worked! In fact, it worked too well. Ghosts of the Heaviside Layer by Lord Dunsany, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany—we know him as Lord Dunsany—the incredibly prolific author who published more than 90 books and hundreds of short stories, plays, and essays.
He was born in London in 1878 and was raised partly in Kent. Dunsany lived much of his life in what may be Ireland’s longest-inhabited house, Dunsany Castle. He was the chess and pistol-shooting champion of Ireland, and during the 1910s was considered one of the greatest living writers in the English-speaking world.
Writers who were influenced by Dunsany include Arthur C. Clarke, H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Jorge Luis Borges, C. M. Kornbluth, Margaret St. Clair, and many more.
Published in 1955, today’s story is one of his last, appearing in the April 1955 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction when he was 77. Turn to page 48, Ghosts of the Heaviside Layer by Lord Dunsany…

Lieutenant Laskell found the answer to his own personal rebellion deep beneath a turbulent Atlantic, and somehow, when the time came, his decision wasn't too difficult… Way of a Rebel by Walter M. Miller, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
We’ve heard from a lot of authors that are new to the podcast lately, and that trend continues today with a story from Walter Michael Miller Jr.. He was born in New Smyrna Beach, Florida in 1923. Served in World War II as a radioman and tail gunner, flying more than fifty bombing missions over Italy.
If his name is familiar it’s probably because he won the Hugo Award for A Canticle for Leibowitz in 1961 for Best Novel. It’s considered to be a masterpiece. He wrote about 40 science fiction short stories from 1951 to 1957. Our story can be found on page 39 in the April 1954 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine, Way of a Rebel by Walter M. Miller…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The powers of earth had finally exterminated the last of the horrible tribes of mutant freaks spawned by atomic war. Menace to homo sapien supremacy was about ended—but not quite. For out of the countryside came a great golden, godlike youth whose extraordinary mutant powers, combining the world's oldest and newest methods of survival, promised a new and superior type of mankind… The Golden Man by Philip K. Dick.

The Nameless City by H. P. Lovecraft
12 juli 2024 · 41 min
It lay silent and dead under the cold desert moon, but what strange race inhabited the abyss beneath those cyclopean ruin? The Nameless City by H. P. Lovecraft, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born in 1890 in Providence Rhode Island. If you like weird, wacky, horror fantasy science fiction, Lovecraft could be just what you’ve been looking for. Lovecraft’s stories have been done so much we chose not to narrate them until today. So, why are we featuring H. P. Lovecraft today? Requests. Lots of them. And now that we’ve narrated one, there will be more.
He started writing at the age of seven, Howard Lovecraft, not H. P., is credited with writing The Young Folks' Ulysses. He was fourteen when he began writing The Beast in the Cave, first published in the June 1918 issue of the amateur journalism publication The Vagrant.
One of the 20th century’s most influential writers the master of weird and a frequent contributor to, appropriately, Weird Tales magazine. In fact more than a hundred of his stories appeared in Weird Tales.
And that’s where we found today’s story. But it was published first in Fanciful Tales of Time and Space, in their Fall 1936 issue, on page 5, The Nameless City by H. P. Lovecraft…

The City of Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith
9 juli 2024 · 54 min
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. Lees meer
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…

Triggerman by J.F. Bone
24 juni 2024 · 31 min
The essential requirements of a first-class triggerman are two: that he know how to pull the trigger–and when not to! Triggerman By J. F. Bone, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Jesse Franklin Bone was born in Tacoma Washington in 1916. 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. Bone…

Alfred Coppel has been on the podcast before, with The First Man on the Moon, Wreck Off Titan and The Flight of the Eagle. Every one of them a story set in space and today’s offering is more of the same, with a twist.
In 1949 United States Secretary of State Dean Acheson signed the North Atlantic Treaty otherwise known as NATO and the Cold War entered a dangerous new chapter when the Soviet Union became the second country to develop the atomic bomb. Gasoline cost 26 cents a gallon, Bread 14 cents a loaf and a gallon of Milk would set you back 84 cents. And the Spring 1949 issue of Planet Stories magazine contained stories by Henry Hasse, Ray Bradbury, Damon Knight and on page 31, Runaway by Alfred Coppel…

If the name William Brittain rings a bell, you know your vintage science fiction. He’s another one of those authors that we know almost nothing about, he wrote a few stories and then… who knows? But there are some authors that you wish wrote a lot more, and for me, he is one of them, because I LOVE William Brittain’s writing.
He wrote 3 stories, one in 1942 and two more in 1948. What you are about to hear is the last story ever published written by William. J Brittain. Turn to page 80 in the Winter 1948 issue of Planet Stories Magazine, The Burnt Planet William Brittain…

Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, just so you know, your 5 star reviews never get old! This from Slacker Jake, “Hooked. Hooked on the first episode the narration is great I can’t wait to listen to them all.” Thanks Slacker Jake. Just so you know, we are working hard to make sure you never get caught up!!
And a shout out to YouTube listener scotleoqueen704 who had this to say, “Wonderful. My #1 fave sci-fi, DUNE and I'd give my right arm to have that 1st printing in the magazine. You're my #1 fave narrator of sci-fi.” Thanks scotleoqueen704! I don’t think you are alone in wishing you had the first appearance of Dune in the December 1963 issue of Analog science fiction magazine. Although it’s been said that Frank Herbert rewrote most of what originally appeared in Analog before releasing Dune in 1965. And thanks for your compliment saying that we were your #1 favorite narrator of sci-fi. That is quite a compliment. Thank you.
Donald A. Wollheim makes his 4th appearance on the podcast with an interesting short sci-fi story about a most unusual little city. Stirring Science Stories first appeared in February 1941, four issues later the 15 cent magazine was gone for good. Until now, we had never featured a story from the magazine.
Wollheim had an advantage over every other author who appeared in this, here today, gone tomorrow magazine, he was also the editor! Today’s story can be found in the last issue, and it is the last story ever to appear in the magazine. From March 1942, on page 60, The Unfinished City by Donald A. Wollheim…

Considering when it was published in 1955, this story was more than a little risqué. By today’s standards, not so much.
Our story appeared in the final issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories magazine in the Winter of 1955. There were 111 issues of the publication, which began in August 1936. The magazine was born in 1929 as Wonder Stories, but the name was changed when the publication was sold.
Turn to page 54, The Portable Star by Isaac Asimov…

The Fearsome Touch of Death by Robert E. Howard - From the Author Who Created Conan the Barbarian
17 juni 2024 · 19 min
As long as midnight cloaks the earth with shadows grim and dark, God save us from the Judas kiss of a dead man in the dark. The Fearsome Touch of Death by Robert E. Howard, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Your 5 star reviews on Apple Podcasts are appreciated, nospammers2010 gave us 5 Stars and says, “Expert curation of the golden age. I’ve been a fan of sci-fi for decades, and very much appreciate the quality of the golden age writers. What sets this podcast apart is that the curator and narrator has a perfect discerning eye for the really good stuff--by which I mean his tastes match mine... This is a podcast to cherish.” Thanks for your excellent review nospammers2010!
Today marks the debut on the podcast of a man who made his mark on the world in a short 30 years. Robert E. Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. Over the next 11 years young Robert would live in 10 Texas towns. He started writing stories at the age of 9. Sold his first story for $16 to Weird Tales magazine when he was 19.
Howard would most likely be forgotten except for diehard sci-fi fans if not for three characters he created that live on to this day. Arnold Schwarzenegger's breakthrough film was the sword and sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian in 1982. The movie was based on the character Robert E. 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. And his creative universe also included Solomon Kane, you guessed it, it too got the Hollywood treatment in 2009 starring James Purefoy.
He wrote more than 70 short stories with most of them published in Weird Tales magazine. Today’s horrifying tale can be found in the February 1930 issue of Weird Tales on page 269, The Fearsome Touch of Death by Robert E. Howard…

All the Grahams desired was a home they could call their own ... but what did the home want? Old Rambling House by Frank Herbert, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Thanks for all you do to help promote our podcast. In the last few days, thanks to you, more people have listened than ever before. We have our highest ranking ever in Canada, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, The Philippines and the United States. Thank you!
Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts! August100 says, “Terrific Dose of Sci Fi, I have been reading this old pulp sci fi for decades. It is a refreshing treat to hear it read by such a skilled storyteller. The more I listen, the more it grows on me. Keep it up. Please.” August100 we will keep it up and we thank you for your wonderful review.
Today’s author wrote one of the best selling science fiction books of all time, Dune. 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…

Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester

What happens when a robot programmed to obey commits murder in the heat of summer? Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer
Another 5 star rating and review! This from Johnny Vancouver on Apple Podcasts Canada who says, “The best! Simply, the best vintage sci fi podcast ever. Great stories here that I would never have heard of if not for this podcast.” Thank you Johnny Vancouver!!
Alfred Bester makes his debut on the podcast today thanks to a request from our listener Xephael. Born in 1913 Bester was a science fiction author, TV and radio scriptwriter, magazine editor and he was a scriptwriter for comic books!
Sci-Fi author Harry Harrison said, “"Alfred Bester was one of the handful of writers who invented modern science fiction.”
Not long before he died in 1987, the Science Fiction Writers of America named Bester its ninth Grand Master, presented posthumously in 1988. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame inducted him in 2001.
Bester married in 1936. His wife Rolly was a Broadway, radio and television actress and was the first to ever play Lois Lane. She starred as Lois on the radio program The Adventures of Superman beginning in 1940.
Regarded as one of the best science fiction novelettes of all time, Fondly Fahrenheit has been included in a large number of prestigious science fiction anthologies.
Bester adapted it for tv as Murder and the Android which aired on October 18th 1959, and starred Kevin McCarthy, Rip Torn, Suzanne Pleshette and Telly Savalas. Murder and the Android was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1960 for Best Dramatic Presentation.
From The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in August 1954, we’ll find our story on page 3, Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester…

We get more requests for today’s author than anybody else. He was 18 years old when he wrote this story in 1938, but it wasn’t published until 1942, under a pseudonym.
Perhaps because he used a pseudonym, he forgot that the story had ever been published. 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 eleven of his short stories that had 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…

Today’s story was written by Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth. Pohl has been on the podcast before but this marks Kornbluth’s debut. Born and raised in New York he learned to read by the age of three, wrote his own stories by the time he was seven, graduated from high school at thirteen, received a CCNY scholarship at fourteen, and was "thrown out for leading a student strike" without graduating. 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 s…

We love narrating science fiction stories by authors that most people are familiar with. However, the reason we started The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, and the reason it’s called Lost Sci-Fi, is because of stories like the one you are about to hear from an author you’ve probably never heard of.

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, experimenting with the eyes can be a very dangerous thing. You can go blind—or maybe you’ll see something no man alive was meant to look upon! Beyond the Ultra Violet by Frank M. Robinson.

The Star by H. G. Wells - Sci-Fi Short Story From the 1800s
3 mei 2024 · 36 min
As a mysterious star hurtles toward Earth, bringing with it unprecedented chaos and destruction, humanity grapples with the impending apocalypse and the uncertain fate of their world. Amidst the turmoil, a diverse array of individuals—from scientists to lovers, from scholars to refugees—navigate the cataclysmic events and search for meaning in the face of annihilation. The Star by H. G. Wells, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Lees meer

H. G. Wells isn’t new to the podcast and there are more of his stories on the way. This short story was written during a rather remarkably productive time for Wells, a year after The Island of Doctor Moreau, the same year as The Invisible Man and a year before The War of the Worlds. From 1897 an apocalyptic tale you won't soon forget, The Star by H. G. Wells…

27 april 2024 · 25 min
Working on the theory that you can skin a sucker in space as well as on Earth, the con team of Harding and Sheckly operated furtively but profitably among natives of the outer planets. That is—until there was a question of turnabout being fair play in a world where natives took their skinning literally! Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

And we continue to receive 5 star reviews on Apple Podcasts. We discovered this one from Monique Schulz who gave us 5 stars and says, “Great voice acting! Not a huge sci-fi fan but desperate for new content and found this podcast. 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. The last story in Volume 20, number 1 of …

Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans - Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Short Story from the 1950s
18 april 2024 · 38 min
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. Lees meer
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. Westlake.

Your 5 star reviews are greatly appreciated. People who discover our podcast see your reviews and give us a chance, we are thankful for all your reviews.
M Coats recently gave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and says, “What are you waiting for? I found this podcast though my library’s app. But while my library app allows for 5 audio book check-outs a month, this podcast has no constraints. The audio is clear, the stories and well read, and the selection is varied enough that I have not heard most of these stories. I am only a recent listener, but I am already 30 episodes in.”
Thanks M Coats, we’re glad you found us.
Kezzathezombie left a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts Australia. Kezza had this to say, “Magnificent! In a world of true crime, history buffs and self help gurus, this is such a breath of fresh air. Each episode brings a new adventure filled with social parody and old world charm. Perfect for anyone with an imagination and a sense of adventure.”
Thanks Mr. zombie, or is that Mrs. zombie?

A Hitch in Time by Frederik Pohl

Episode 200 of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast didn’t go as planned. We’ve been facing some health challenges over the last 2 weeks and want to say thanks to all of you who have expressed your concern. Our plan was to get reacquainted with our old friend Bud Gregory for episode 200 but it’s a longer story than we are able to narrate at this moment. Funny how you take breathing for granted until you are struggling to breathe. So today’s story and the next few will all be less than an hour.
We always love a good time travel story and that’s what we have for you today. From Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1947, James MacCreigh is credited with writing the story on page 61, but we know the real author, A Hitch in Time by Frederik Pohl…
