The important thing was that they survive. Men were needed whoâd be able to explore the surface once the ship landed. Trainee for Mars by Harry Harrison. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Special thanks to "Tony from the future" who bought us 20 coffees. Tony had this to say, âJust found this podcast and am addicted. My wife is a bit worried as I've been literally listening 24hours a day, even as I sleep. Your selections and narration are unparalleled. As a 60+ year old these are the types of stories I craved as I grew up. I'm so happy to be able to support your efforts. I would like to make a recommendation. Since I know you like uncommon authors and also support female writers, please look into Zenna Henderson.â
Thank you Tony from the future for your generous support and please make sure you get some sleep. I had never heard of Zenna Henderson but there is at least one story that she wrote that is in the public domain. Listen for one of her stories in the near future and thanks for your kind words.
If you would like to buy us a coffee there is always a link in the description.

You can never have too much Harry Harrison! His story The Stainless Steel Rat remains one of the most listened-to episodes on our podcast.
Todayâs tale first appeared in Fantastic Universe in June 1958, accompanied by this note from the magazine: âWe seem so close to Space Flight that weâve been afraid, these last weeks, that history might catch up with us and make Harry Harrisonâs exciting story dated. There is that danger, these days.â
As it turned out, history took a little longerânearly 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 HarrisonâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, To those who were the goggle of Dr. Dragonet there is another worldâof mystery, joy and, yes, terror⌠The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet by Fritz Leiber.

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. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
If todayâs story sounds familiar but you're scratching your head thinking, I thought it was called The Moth, youâre 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 publicationâs style or market.
Whether you know it as The Moth or A Moth itâs still the same story and a very good one regardless of the title. Originally published in The Pall Mall Gazette on March 28th 1895, A Moth by H. G. WellsâŚ

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. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Thereâs a good chance youâve never heard of Francis Stevens. But after todayâs story you will probably never forget her. She has been called âthe woman who invented dark fantasy.â
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 donât 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. Barrowsâ. Although the initials disguised her gender, this appears to be the first instance of an American female author publishing science fiction, and using her real name.
She had only seven short stories published and wrote five novels, with just two released during her lifetime. From Argosy magazine in July 1919, The Elf-Trap by Francis StevensâŚ

It was only a slingshot, but it hurled more death than a thousand-pound bomb. Where did Tommy Sonofagun get those deadly pellets? The Incredible Slingshot Bombs by Robert Moore Williams. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Our last episode featured an author we had never showcased before, William Tenn, today another, Robert Moore Williams and our next episode we will debut another authors work, Francis Stevens.
Although we were not familiar with Robert Moore Williams work, itâs not like he was a minor player in the pulp sci-fi world in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, with more than 170 short stories to his credit along with 20 novels.
Williams was born in Farmington, Missouri in 1907, graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1931 and published his first story in 1937. Zero as a Limit appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1937 and his career took off. His stories were published 17 times in what was left of the 1930s and 90 stories appeared in the pulps in the 1940s.
We will find our story on page 130 in the May 1942 issue of Amazing Stories magazine, The Incredible Slingshot Bombs by Robert Moore WilliamsâŚ

The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It wasâwhich was just the trouble! Project Hush by William Tenn and What thrill is there in going out among the stars if coming back means bitter loneliness? Homesick by Lynn Venable. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Until today, we had never narrated a story by William Tennâthough, in truth, William Tenn never actually wrote a story. How is that possible? Because William Tenn was the pen name of Philip Klass.
Born in London in 1920, Klass moved to New York City before his second birthday. 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. Turn to page 100 in the February 1954 publication, Galaxy Science Fiction, Project Hush by William TennâŚ
Our second story on the podcast today comes from Lynn Venable. Though she wrote only seven stories, each one left a lasting impression. This was her first, published in the December 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. We will discover our story on page 73, Homesick by Lynn VenableâŚ

Lancelot Biggs was perhaps the worst second mate Captain Hanson had ever shipped, and he was convinced of it when he ruined their cargo. But how dumb a man is, may sometimes be a matter of opinion. F. O. B. Venus by Nelson S. Bond. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Nelson S. Bond makes his debut on the podcast today with an interesting character, Lancelot Biggs. Bond wrote 14 short stories featuring Mr. Biggs, and in time we hope to narrate all of them.
Nelson Slade Bond was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1908. While he was still in high school he reviewed plays for the Philadelphia Enquirer. He went to Marshall College from 1932 to 1934 and edited the college newspaper, The Parthenon. He met his future wife, Betty Folsom at Marshall and they married in 1934.
He briefly worked for his fathers public relations agency but realized he could make more money by writing. And he wrote! Bond wrote more than 200 short stories, more than 200 radio scripts which included stories for the radio drama The Lone Ranger. He also penned about 80 TV scripts.
Nelson S. Bond and Betty Folsom were married for 72 years until his passing in 2006 at the age of 97. We will find our story in Fantastic Adventures in November 1939. Turn to page 34, F. O. B. Venus by Nelson S. BondâŚ

In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale. The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
We appreciate your 5-star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts! If you havenât left one yet, weâd really appreciate it. Plus, you can leave a review on Apple Podcasts in your country, even if you usually listen elsewhere. This 5-star review was posted by Doctorwoo on Apple Podcasts Canada, âBingeable Classic Sci-Fi. Wow. Just wow! I have put all my other extensive podcast listening on hold, and Iâm listening only to past episodes of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Thanks to Scott for accompanying me on my winter runs, weight lifting sessions, and chores around the house. Scottâs selection of stories is right on the money, and his voice and characterizations are the work of a master. Thank You!â Thank you Doctorwoo!!
When we launched The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our goal was to spotlight truly forgotten science fiction short storiesâmany of which had never been narrated before. But weâve been listening to you, and your requests have taken us in unexpected directions. H. P. Lovecraftâs stories have been recorded many times, so we hadnât planned to include them. However, your enthusiasm made us rethink that decision, and now we realize this is a story we should have shared long ago. So here it isâthanks to you!
From the September 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, our eerie tale can be found on page 556, The Colour Out of Space by H. P. LovecraftâŚ

The aliens wouldn't accept help, though their world was about to explode. They were adolescents. Adolescence is the time when you aren't smart enough to ask for help⌠The Untouchable Adolescents by Harlan Ellison. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
In a world filled with science fiction one can never ever hear enough Harlan Ellison stories! From the pages of Super-Science Fiction in February 1957 letâs go as fast as we can to page 68 for a story credited to Ellis Hart but in reality penned by Mr. Ellison, The Untouchable Adolescents by Harlan EllisonâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, in 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale. The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft.

The men who did dangerous work had a special kind of insurance policy. But when somebody wanted to collect on that policy, the claims investigator suddenly became a member of⌠The Risk Profession by Donald E. Westlake. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
If you enjoy todayâs story by Donald E. Westlake, you might also like The Spy in the Elevator, another Westlake tale we narrated about 10 months ago. Originally published in Amazing Stories in March 1961, todayâs treat can be found on page 96. The Risk Profession by Donald E. WestlakeâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The aliens wouldn't accept help, though their world was about to explode. They were adolescents. Adolescence is the time when you aren't smart enough to ask for help⌠The Untouchable Adolescents by Harlan Ellison

Today on the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we will do something we have never done, and something we may never do again. An episode swap with another podcast. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Several of you have suggested we do an episode swap with another podcast and today your request has been fulfilled. Weâve been approached before but never felt like it was a good fit, until now.
We wouldnât do an episode swap with just any podcaster, we had to find a quality podcast that we knew you would enjoy. I am excited to share an episode from Just Chills - Short Scary Stories, a horror podcast featuring classic stories from writers like Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and M R James. If you enjoy stories that make your pulse quicken and send a chill down your spine, this is the perfect treat for you. So, sit back, maybe leave a light on, and dive into this spooky tale. And donât forget, if you enjoy this story, subscribe to Just Chills wherever you get your podcasts. The link is in the description.
Just Chills Link: https://pod.link/1709713164
From the author of Dracula, a student seeks solitude in a small village with an isolated old house. But the rats decide to keep him company... The Judge's House by Bram Stoker, hereâs Taesha from Just ChillsâŚ

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 playerâa fortune bet on his ability at a game he had never played in his cloistered life. Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. Simak. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Another first for our podcast today, back to back episodes by the same author featuring the same character. Yesterday Clifford D. Simakâs Mr. Meek got himself in a little trouble and today the mild mannered bookkeeper from Earth finds himself in another pickle.
From Planet Stories magazine in the fall of 1944 our space-faring heroâs journey begins on page 56, Mr. Meek Plays Polo by Clifford D. SimakâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we will do something we have never done on the podcast, and something we may never do again.

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. MeekâMusketeer by Clifford D. Simak. Thatâs 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, âWondrous 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.â
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 heâs back today with the first of two stories back to back. Letâs turn back the clock almost 81 years ago to the Summer 1944 issue of Planet Stories magazine. Todayâs 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. MeekâMusketeer by Clifford D. SimakâŚ

The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west werenât settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen â the men who didnât fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space⌠Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean. Thatâs 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! Todayâs story is a great exampleâit shares the same title as yesterdayâs, but itâs by a completely different author and tells a totally different tale. And thatâs not the only first! Weâre 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 storiesâmost 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 Donât 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=LhWWABp1BJ4
Her work also made it to the big screenâher 1953 short story The Carnivore was adapted into the 2016 Brazilian film CarnĂvora. Letâs flip through the May 1954 issue of Science Fiction Adventures magazine and turn to page 78, Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLeanâŚ

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. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Special thanks to Paul Belcher for his 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, âMy New Favorite Podcast. Iâm 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. Itâs 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!â Paul we appreciate your spectacular review and thanks for listening!! If you havenât already left us a 5 star review, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it if you did.
Like others weâve 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 weâve shared on the podcast appeared in that issue, Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair and The Enormous Word by William Oberfield. Turn to page 48, Collision Orbit by Clyde BeckâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, same title, different story, The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west werenât settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen â the men who didnât fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space⌠Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean.
