Nine astronauts trapped on Europa find comfort in an alien who can become anyone they long to see. Their only chance of returning home may require deceiving a creature that can read every thought they try to hide. Lorelei by Charles V. De Vet. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Another day and another author new to the podcast. Charles Vincent De Vet was born in 1911 in Fayette Michigan, a town that had almost disappeared by then, but had once been a bustling iron smelting town. It would later become a ghost town and in 1959 the State of Michigan bought the townsite and surrounding land and made it a state park. Charles V. De Vet enjoyed a productive run in the 1950s and 1960s, publishing 35 science fiction short stories. He stepped away from the genre for nearly a decade. He eventually returned, adding nine more stories during the 1970s and 1980s. Charles V. De Vet, asks an unsettling question: what if the perfect companion wasn't human—but could become the one person you longed to see most? Let's turn to page 97 in the September 1961 issue of If, Worlds of Science Fiction for, Lorelei by Charles V. De Vet… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A washed-up Galaxy Patrol lieutenant hits a jungle world expecting a quick recovery—then learns the kidnapper has turned the crash into a crown. To get the Earthgirl home, he'll need a move the natives won't forgive and a choice he may not survive. Castaways Of Space by Robert Silverberg.

A boastful hunter claims he chased the last living mammoth through a hidden northern valley until only one of them could endure. His proof sounds impossible, but the boots on his feet make disbelief far less comfortable. The Angry Mammoth by Jack London. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. We are thankful for another 5 star rating and review. This from Captain Redeyer on Apple Podcasts in Ireland.  “An absolute Gem! This is an amazing collection of sci-fi stories, excellently read, and delivered with gusto. Totally recommend for sci-fi fans. Thank you Captain!! We appreciate you. If you haven't left us a review no matter where you listen to the podcast we would appreciate it if you would. The first four Jack London stories we released on the podcast weren't representative of the stories most people associate with him. The Angry Mammoth is a different experience altogether—an exuberant wilderness adventure filled with impossible claims, towering beasts, and Jack London's unmistakable storytelling. The Angry Mammoth was first published in 1901 and shows a playful side of Jack London that listeners may not expect. London uses the frozen North, where he set many of his best-known stories, as the backdrop for an outrageous campfire tale supported by one very curious piece of evidence. From Collier's Weekly, January 12th, 1901, and originally titled, A Relic of the Pliocene, published on page 17, republished in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in May 1959 as The Angry Mammoth by Jack London… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Nine astronauts trapped on Europa find comfort in an alien who can become anyone they long to see.

People and animals have lived together in lots of ways for thousands upon thousands of years -- and humans, as we know, will attempt to pack-bond with anything. But what does the domestication of animals mean in worlds that might have fantastical creatures or critters who can talk? Guest John Wiswell joins us to discuss the friend-shaped beings that inhabit our fantasy worlds. When did your culture domesticate animals, and which ones, and why? What distinguishes a merely domesticated animal from a true companion? Which creatures might be normal pets, and which ones are more off-beat or even taboo? What does it mean if you can tame a dragon, or if your kitty familiar can talk to you? And then, of course, writers also need to consider what role these animals play in the story: Do they serve a narrative purpose? Or are they just there to fill out the world and acknowledge that, yes, humans generally love animals and want them around? [Transcript for Episode 185 TK] Our Guest: John Wiswell is a Nebula-winning and Locus-winning author who lives in the middle of the woods. His debut novel, SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN, was released from DAW Books in the U.S. and Arcadia Books in the U.K. in April 2024. John's work has appeared in Uncanny Magazine, Tor.com, LeVar Burton Reads, Nature Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Weird Tales, the No Sleep podcast, Nightmare Magazine, Cast of Wonders, Podcastle, Escape Pod, Pseudopod, and other fine venues. He has been a finalist for the Hugo, World Fantasy, and British Fantasy Awards. His fiction has been translated into ten languages. He graduated Bennington College in 2005, and attended the Viable Paradise 17 workshop in 2013. He has multiple disabilities including a neuromuscular syndrome, and thinks healthy people's capacity to complain is very funny. He finds a lot of things very funny and would like to keep it that way. He is frequently available for interview and for talks at conferences. He has done panels at places such as Worldcon, the Nebula Awards Conference, and the World Fantasy Convention.

Peter Kolin has spent years hiding every disloyal thought from the rulers of Haurtoz. On an uncharted planet, a strangely friendly tree offers him an escape—but Kolin may have found something far more powerful than freedom. The Talkative Tree by H. B. Fyfe. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Every so often someone asks why we featured a particular story. For The Talkative Tree, the answer is wonderfully obvious: it's a talking tree!

Fyfe… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A well-meaning astronomy enthusiast joins an absent-minded professor on a mission that soon carries them beyond every known galaxy.

On this episode of the Profile, Watchman Fellowship President James K. Walker sits down with Watchman apologists Brady Blevins and Daniel Ray to analyze and discuss the deeper religious themes in the film and how we might respond to them as believers.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Javier Rolandi, who works in investor relations and communications, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the SpaceX IPO and the trust people place in Elon Musk to Javier's own path through electronics, literature, and linguistics in Argentina. They talk about science fiction as a lens on the present, arguing over Borges versus Cortázar and touching on Philip K. Dick, before turning to Stewart's treasure hunt project and what it means for adults to reclaim a sense of play. The back half of the episode gets into bigger cultural territory: the Peter Pan syndrome as it shows up in Buenos Aires and Silicon Valley, the demographic crisis and why people are hesitant to commit to marriage or kids, the immigrant roots of Argentina's tight-knit communities, and a closing debate about solarpunk versus cyberpunk futures and whether religion still has a role to play in building a more human-centered utopia.Timestamps00:00 – Opening dive into the SpaceX IPO and why people place so much trust in Elon Musk's competence. 05:00 – Javi traces his non-linear path into technology, from electronics school to a lifelong love of science fiction. 10:00 – A close look at Borges, his puzzle-like short stories, and layered literary references. 15:00 – Javi picks Cortázar as his favorite, then Stewart demos his treasure hunt game idea. 20:00 – More treasure hunt details, plus the pelotudo/al pedo language game. 25:00 – Javi's fading interest in building electronics and why adult play still matters. 30:00 – The Peter Pan syndrome, Buenos Aires neighborhoods, and staying stuck in teenage behavior. 35:00 – The demographic crisis, Peter Thiel's arrival, and commitment to marriage and kids. 40:00 – How the internet reshapes connection beyond borders and nations. 45:00 – Solarpunk vs. cyberpunk and Argentina's potential as a utopian model. 50:00 – Argentina's immigrant roots, tribal bonding, and ethnic clubs in Buenos Aires. 55:00 – Closing thoughts on religion, ecumenism, and staying optimistic about humanity.Key InsightsTrust in visionary founders like Elon Musk isn't really about understanding the technical details of something like SpaceX—it's about faith in a person's competence to pull off things that would sound crazy coming from anyone else.Javier's relationship with technology has always been non-linear: an early fascination with electronics gave way to literature and linguistics, and only later did a startup career pull him back toward tech, showing that curiosity doesn't have to follow a straight professional line.Science fiction endures because it's never really about the future—it's a way of examining the decisions being made today and how they'll ripple outward, which is why Javier finds himself circling back to present-day questions after every story or film.Reclaiming play as an adult, whether through treasure hunts or simply being unembarrassed in public, isn't regression—it's a deliberate rebellion against the idea that growing up means becoming serious and losing creativity.The demographic shift away from marriage and kids may be less about capability and more about marketing: people who look unhappy while promoting commitment aren't going to convince anyone that the traditional path is worth choosing.Argentina's strong culture of community and friendship traces back to waves of immigrants who had to lean on each other to survive, a tribal instinct that still shapes how people bond in Buenos Aires today.The tension between solarpunk and cyberpunk visions of the future comes down to whether technology serves human connection or overshadows it, and Javier argues Argentina—with its resources and family-oriented culture—is well positioned to lean toward the more hopeful, human-centered version.

In this episode, Breht goes on The Left Page podcast as a guest to explore the role that science fiction plays as part of the cultural superstructure of empire: a genre born in the shadow of British and American imperial power, shaped by colonial assumptions, and increasingly haunted by attempts to critique the very structures it once blindly reproduced. From early invasion fiction and dreams of space conquest to modern works like Dune, Blade Runner, The Expanse, and The Three-Body Problem, Leon, Frank and Breht examine how sci-fi imagines the future through the unresolved contradictions of the present: capitalism, colonialism, racial hierarchy, technological domination, corporate sovereignty, and imperial war. Along the way, they discuss the role of Rome in the Western political imaginary, especially for reactionaries and fascists; extend Mark Fisher's concept of capitalist realism into colonial and imperialist realism; and ask why science fiction can so easily imagine interstellar travel, artificial life, alien civilizations, and cosmic catastrophe, yet so often struggles to imagine a future beyond empire and capital.   Check out The Left Page podcast HERE
