Something is wrong with Dad… Charlie knows it, but no one believes him. Is it all in his head, or has something terrifying taken his father's place? The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Philip K. Dick, what a mind. It has been said that Dick believed he was living in two timelines simultaneously, one as himself in 1970s California and another as a persecuted Christian in ancient Rome. These bizarre experiences fueled his paranoia but also deepened the philosophical depth of his later works. Today's story is one of his earlier works, published in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine in December 1954 on page 105, The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A curious antique dealer discovers a strange crystal egg that reveals eerie glimpses of an alien world teeming with life. As he obsesses over its mysteries, he begins to question whether the visions are mere reflections—or a window into something watching him back. The Crystal Egg by H. G.

The punishment had to fit more than just the crime—it had to suit every world in the Galaxy! The Eel by Miriam Allen DeFord. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today's story was published just before Frank Herbert's Old Rambling House, which we featured on the podcast about eight months ago.

The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which 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. 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? 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 Tenn…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 Venable…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It was only a slingshot, but it hurled more death than a thousand-pound bomb.

He was one man, horribly confused, escaping from a destroyed planet, carrying some sort of message which he couldn't recall. But he had tremendous potential for achievement!

Let's turn back the clock to November 1953 and open this pulp pleaser to page 72, Potential by Robert Sheckley…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth.

A man with a vendetta, Szabo Tibor, finds himself tasked with recovering a Russian space capsule near New Guinea—but his grudge against the Russians turns the operation into a slow and sinister act of revenge.

We get a lot of requests for his stories and when we release a new episode with one of his stories, it is among our most listened to episodes.

1/4: The Asteroid Hunter: A Scientist's Journey to the Dawn of our Solar System Hardcover – March 19, 2024 by  Dante Lauretta  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Asteroid-Hunter-Scientists-Journey-System/dp/1538722941 On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space. Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance—a colossal celestial entity. As massive as an aircraft carrier and towering as high as the iconic Empire State Building, this cosmic titan was later named Bennu. Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger. Hurtling through space, it threatens to collide with our planet on September 24, 2182. Leading the expedition was Dr. Dante Lauretta, the Principal Investigator of NASA's audacious OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission. Tasked with unraveling Bennu's mysteries, his team embarked on a daring quest to retrieve a precious sample from the asteroid's surface — one that held the potential to not only unlock the secrets of life's origins but also to avert an unprecedented catastrophe. A tale of destiny and danger, The Asteroid Hunter chronicles the high-stakes mission firsthand, narrated by Dr. Lauretta. It offers readers an intimate glimpse into the riveting exploits of the mission and Dr. Lauretta's wild, winding personal journey to Bennu and back. Peeling back the curtain on the wonders of the cosmos, this enthralling account promises a rare glimpse into the tightly woven fabric of scientific exploration, where technical precision converges with humanity's profound curiosity and indominable spirit. 1960 SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE

Dick and tomorrow Robert A. Heinlein. Three very accomplished and recognized science fiction authors. Today, not so much.  The man who wrote today's offering only authored one story that we could find. We couldn't find when he was born or when he died nor where he lived, until we unearthed a response he wrote to an article in Astounding Science Fiction in 1956. He wrote about “road hypnosis” and how it can cause accidents. He suggested several solutions including the use of radar to warn the driver that he is getting close to another motorist. Radar wouldn't be used for more than 30 years in Japanese vehicles and high end cars in the US and Europe wouldn't use radar for more than 40 years after Willard brought it up in Astounding Science Fiction Magazine. We also learned that at the time he was a news photographer and he gave his address as, Box 262, Yalesville, Connecticut. Two and a half years later Mr. Willard's lone story appeared in the August 1958 issue of, If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine.

"Experiment" opens with a scientist eagerly demonstrating his newly invented time machine to his colleagues. The machine, although small, serves as proof that time travel is possible. The men are enthralled by the prospect of traveling through time but fail to consider the ethical and moral implications of their actions."Sentry" introduces readers to a soldier stationed on a distant planet light-years away from his home. Initially, we assume the soldier is human, just like us. However, the story takes a startling twist when we discover that the soldier is, in fact, an alien visiting Earth.♥️Patreon Page - Help keep the show ad-free

Imagine a story that lingers in your mind long after you've turned the last page—a story so succinct yet powerful that it leaves you contemplating the depths of human nature and the consequences of our actions. "The Carnivore" by G.A. Morris, featured in a science fiction magazine, is precisely that kind of narrative. This short story, penned by a talented female author, packs an emotional punch despite its brevity, weaving a tale of survival, regret, and a heart-wrenching twist that will leave you questioning humanity itself.♥️Patreon Page - Help keep the show ad-free

It's not required but it is appreciated.Philip K. Dick was a brilliant science fiction writer and is the most popular author here on our podcast. Dick is known for his works that often explored the nature of reality and consciousness. One day, so the story goes, he was walking home from the grocery store when he suddenly had a profound realization that the world around him wasn't real. He became obsessed with the idea that reality was just a construct and that the people, places, and things he saw were just projections created by a higher power.His own personal beliefs about reality bled into his everyday life. He became paranoid, convinced that he was being monitored and manipulated by the government or extraterrestrial beings. Despite his beliefs, Philip K. Dick continued to write and produce some of the most thought-provoking and impactful science fiction of his time. He is remembered as one of the most brilliant and unconventional science fiction writers of all time.And speaking of brilliant and unconventional let's go to the pages of “If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine” in May 1954. We'll find our story on page 27, Prominent Author by Philip K.

This episode of the Big Time Talker is a special collaboration with Headline Books! Calvin Fisher returns to the Big Time Talker to discuss the newest chapter of his Northfield Saga: Stormrise. Calvin has spent his entire early life writing science fiction and has received generous acclaim from Kirus Reviews, Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine, and more. As a native of Minnesota, Calvin Fisher learned to spend long winters tearing through pages and pages of novels. His desire to write for an audience bloomed early; as a child, he sold stacks of homemade comic books to family and neighbors. In the years since, his passion has refined and matured, but ultimately remains the same. His desire to bring characters to life is the engine that powers each work. He currently resides in Denver, Colorado. The Big Time Talker is sponsored by Speakermatch.com

Well, here we are again with another installment on Asimov's swansong, Forward the Foundation. You might recall that Forward was written as a series of Novellas the first three of which appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. The installment we're discussing this time is "Cleon I" which originally appeared in the magazine's 15th-anniversary issue in April 1992 as "Cleon the Emperor." Much like the previous story, it isn't very much about the titular character but it's a lot about Hari Seldon. This one is set during his tenure as Cleon's First Minister. The cover, by Gary Friedman, is lovely; it's Asimov himself alongside a woman who is almost certainly Dors Venabali. I can't say it's Dors for sure, but I can state with absolute certainty that character is neither from Mycogen nor Dahl. Inside the issue, there's an extensive editorial about the Foundation series and its history and it answers, in part, one of the questions we posed on the podcast. We'd wondered why Asimov decided to write Forward as a series of novellas and evidently, the genesis of the idea came from Jennifer Brehl, who Asimov calls "my brilliant and lovely editor." You can see the cover and read more about the editorial at your leisure on our website. And, if you want to learn more about those costume design awards, there's some more information here. But in the meantime, join us for our latest episode as we continue through the life story of Hari Seldon!

Have you been with us for a while? If you have you might remember some jokes back in the long, long ago about the longevity of our podcast. We were pretty stoked (is that what the kids say nowadays?) back in Season 1 Episode 8 when we surpassed the Manimal Threshold for example. Well, on 26 April 2021 our first episode was squirted out into the aether so we have another milestone to celebrate; we've officially been a podcast for over a year. Thirty-two episodes in and we're starting to talk about our fifth book, Forward the Foundation by the Great and Glorious Az. It's a departure in that it started life as a series of novellas like the original trilogy; three of those appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine starting in November 1991. The book and the stories within are somewhat bittersweet; we touch on that a bit in the podcast and we'll get back to that here as soon as we're able. And we have a special guest in this episode, who you may know as @stratotron from that bluebird site! They are a perfect person to join us in a discussion of a chapter entitled "Eto Demerzel." Join us and welcome the delightful Daneel Adrian Cayce to the conversation, Asimov Enthusiast, Trekkie, Twitterer, chiptune creator, and namesake of the quintessential character in the entire Asimov canon! It's going to be good! And thanks to everyone who's stuck with us for an entire trip around the sun! Never fear, there's no getting rid of us now!

We have an amazing story for you today on the podcast, certainly one of the most fascinating stories we've ever heard. This author lived a pretty extraordinary life. He was hired by legendary Hollywood director Alfred Hitchcock to write a screenplay for what would become one of Hitchcock's greatest movies. It was one of several screenplays written by our featured author. Actors who starred in projects he wrote and developed for the big screen and Television include Richard Chamberlain, F. Murray Abraham, Ben Johnson, Jerry Orbach, Robby Benson, Raquel Welch, Burt Reynolds, Yul Brynner, Tom Skerritt , Kirk Douglas, Kim Novak, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau, Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, and Suzanne Pleshette. Wow! If You're a movie buff you may have already guessed that the Hitchcock classic he wrote the screenplay for was, The Birds. Before Hitchcock and Hollywood our author served on a destroyer in the Pacific in the Navy during World War II. We're just getting started. He wrote more than 139 novels over 53 years! That's an average of a little more than 2 and a half novels a year for more than half a century. He was born in East Harlem New York in 1926. Born Salvatore Albert Lombino, he legally changed his name to Evan Hunter in 1952, but before he did, he sold a short science fiction story to If, Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine. In the magazine, which had made its debut two months earlier in March 1952, he is credited with writing “Welcome, Martians!” As S.A. Lombino which as fas I can tell was one of only a handful of times he used his real name. So why the name change? Well, as the story goes an editor once told him his Italian heritage might stop him from achieving great success, so SA Lombino became Evan Hunter. Oh, and if you think you recognize the name Evan Hunter, you're probably right. Lombino took a number of jobs in the early 1950's to pay the bills while attempting to get his writing career off the ground. One of them led to a novel, which became a movie, starring Glenn Ford, Sidney Pointier, Vic Morrow and Anne Francis. He spent 17 days as a teacher at the Bronx Vocational High School in September 1950. That experience led to his 6th novel titled The Blackboard Jungle which became the movie of the same name starring the previously mentioned star studded cast. Lombino, or Hunter had several pen names John Abbott, Curt Cannon, Hunt Collins, Ezra Hannon, Richard Marsten and then there's the name he used most often, Ed McBain! As McBain he wrote the “87th Precinct” crime series. Once again his novels made their way to Television. In 1961 and 62 NBC aired a police drama called “87th Precinct”. He started writing for television in 1956 with a teleplay for "The Kaiser Aluminum Hour" which aired on NBC in 1956 and 57 and he wrote the story for two episodes of "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer" a syndicated TV show, two years later in 1958 and 59. He didn't write a lot of science fiction but what he did write is good.  I chose this story because it's unusual. A story written by a writer, about a writer getting a little help from a bizarre source. Writing stories was hard work—unless Fred had a typewriter like "Reggie" that could write by itself! Nonsense? Fred agreed until he met—THE PLAGIARIST FROM RIGEL IV By Evan Hunter Subscribe to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Stories Every Week on Soundwise

We had some serious technical issues with this episode, so what you're about to hear is a bit of a patchwork, with variable technical quality and some parts we had to re-record. However, we think the information content makes it a good listen... In the latest episode of the Science Fiction 101 podcast, we travel back in time to review the Christmas 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. Galaxy was the magazine which led the science fiction field in the 1950s, bringing to the genre a greater concern for humanist themes, sociology, psychology and social satire. Among its successes were the first publication of Ray Bradbury's "The Fireman" (soon expanded into FAHRENHEIT 451) and the first appearance of Alfred Bester's THE DEMOLISHED MAN. We review the December 1951 issue from cover to cover - we even review the book reviews and the ads! Science Fiction 101 is presented by Phil Nichols (of Bradburymedia and Bradbury 100) and Colin Kuskie (of Take Me To Your Reader). Check out our website at 101sf.blogspot.com.

"Speech Sounds" by Octavia Butler was published in 1983 in Isaac Asimov's "Science Fiction Magazine." A pandemic (oof) has swept the world, killing many and leaving the rest in shambles. The story follows Rye, a woman traveling to find her remaining family members. Instead, she finds Obsidian and begins a brief relationship with him. In this episode with Paige and Jennifer from Big Book Energy, Hannah and Jon discuss communication in the story, dystopias, and the prelude from Isaac Asimov.Warning: This episode has mentions of sexual assault.Hannah and Jon have a blast with the gals (again!) from Big Book Energy for Jennifer's pick. We discuss Asimov's history of abuse and how that factored into his prelude. How Octavia Butler was a BAMF and may have even called out men directly in the story. Jennifer brings up symbols, and you know by now that Hannah and Jon are ALL about those symbols.You can find Big Book Energy on Instagram and Twitter as @Big_Book_Energy and their website here: https://www.bigbookenergy.com/AnaLITical is created, hosted, and produced by Hannah and Jon Newland.Edited by Jon Newland.Artwork by Hannah Newland, using Logomakr and is owned by Hannah and Jon Newland.Theme music is Robot Gypsy Jazz by John Bartmannm - https://johnbartmann.comWebsite design by Hannah Newland - https://analiticalpod.wixsite.com/analiticalSupport the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/analiticalpodYou can find the pod's social pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok @analiticalpod and email us at analiticalpod@gmail.com

Drew Archives in 10 is a podcast about the stories behind items in the University Archives and Special Collections at Drew University. Andrew J. Salvati (co-host), Candace Reilly (co-host), Trevor Weston (music).

With her new short story anthology, Entanglements: Tomorrow's Lovers, Families, and Friends (MIT Press), editor Sheila Williams brings together a panoply of voices to explore how technology and scientific advances have on the deepest human relationships. We talk about Sheila's nearly 40 years editing science fiction stories at Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, how she manages to balance new and diverse voices with a foundation of SF's history, how she copes with receiving ~800 stories a month (while only being able to buy 5-6), and technology's greater role in day-to-day life and what that means for writers' and readers' imagination and expectations. We also get into her author freakouts (like going blank when she met Samuel R. Delany many years ago), how her philosophy background helps her as an editor, missing cons and festivals, the challenge of editing an author in translation (in this case Xia Jia), and more.

Otra vez el doctor Labyrinth pretender revolucionar la ciencia mediante su nueva invención: el Animador; una suerte de hornito que asegura puede “animar” por medio del Principio de Irritiación Suficiente -así se refiere al axioma que sustenta su teoría- cualquier objeto inerte que se introduzca en ella. Aunque, la verdad es que por ahora, no ha conseguido hacerla funcionar todavía… [semispoiler] Otra historia en primera persona (me mola eso) y otra vez aparece el doctor Labyrinth. Hay que investigar un poco este prototipo de personaje que nos encontramos ya en “La máquina Preservadora” que parece un Doctor Bacterio que inventa aparatos que acaban en absurdo. Pretendía que figurase en más cuentos? Leyendo un poco, encontré esta fantástica página donde lo explican (lnk abajo). Según parece, Dick envío ambos cuentos a “Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine” prácticamente a la vez. El título original era “Left shoe, my foot”. En la submision, el joven e inexperto con los editores Dick escribía lo siguiente: “Por favor perdóneme totalmente, pero os envío esta historia mientras todavía tenéis la primera. La razón: ambas historias están relacionadas, y estoy seguro que querríais verlas juntas. Ahora, “La máquina preservadora” es largo, contemplativa y filosófica. “Zapato izquierdo, mi pie” es corta, descriptiva y fuerte. En el fondo de mi mente está la idea de ellas formando algún tipo de serie con quizá más relatos por venir. La temática es la misma, los personajes los mismos, etc. Pero puede que penséis que deba abandonar alguna de esas ideas, quizá la de hacer una serie. De los dos, me gusta más “Zapato izquierdo, mi pie”. Que ésta sobreviva y “La máquina” perezca no me sorprendería”. Al final le hicieron hacer un montón de correcciones a ambas (reducir las a la mitad de hojas para empezar) y el 7 y el 15 de Mayo de 1952 le aceptaron las dos. Bien por Dick! Se publicó en 1954 con el título final de “The short, happy life of the Brown Oxford” Cuál será esta temática que Dick dice que ambos comparten? El absurdo científico? Una reflexión postmoderna de la forma de avanzar de la ciencia, de las pretensiones de nosotros humanitos? La transmutación? Qué hace a un zapato zapato y a una obra músical una obra musical? =^__^= link: http://www.philipkdickfans.com/mirror/websites/pkdweb/short_stories/The%20Short%20Happy%20Life%20Of%20The%20Brown%20Oxford.htm P.K.

He's written Doctor Who for the BBC,Action Comics for DC, and Wolverine for Marvel. He's won the BSFA Award for his short fiction, an Eagle Award for his comics, and shares in a Writer's Guild Award for his television. His latest urban fantasy novel is  from Tor. He lives in Gloucestershire with his wife and son. The Story So Far… … and here's a longer version with all the details: Paul Cornell started out writing Doctor Who fan fiction, went on to write Doctor Who novels, audio plays and comics, and, having won a BBC contest to get a play on TV, and worked his way up through shows like Casualty and Holby City, became the fan who got to write for the show itself. He went on to work on other TV series like Robin Hood and Primeval, to write two seasons of his own CITV show, Wavelength, and to break into comics, writing for Marvel, DC and 2000AD on such titles as Captain Britain and MI-13, Young Avengers, Wolverine, Knight and Squire, Batman and Robin,Action Comics, Demon Knights, XTNCT and Pan-African Judges. He created Saucer Country for Vertigo, and has new creator-owned projects in the pipeline. In the meantime, he'd also achieved his ambition to become a novelist, first having two SF novels,Something More and British Summertime, published by Gollancz, then starting the Shadow Policeseries with London Falling and The Severed Streets at Tor. His short fiction, often featuring the character of Jonathan Hamilton, an out-of-uniform soldier in a parallel world where the ‘great game' of European espionage continues into space, has been published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Interzone, The Daily Telegraph, The Timesand at Tor.com. He's also written twice for George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards short story anthologies. He's the creator of Bernice Summerfield, a Doctor Who companion from the novels who for twenty years now has had her own spinoff line of books and audio plays. He lives in Gloucestershire with his wife, a priest in the Church of England, and their toddler son, Thomas. His interests include cricket, matters Fortean and Kate Bush. More Information:

I was driving with my brother, the preacher, and my nephew, the preacher's son, on I-65 just north of Bowling Green when we got a flat. It was Sunday night and we had been to visit Mother at the Home. We were in my car. The flat caused what you might call knowing groans since, as the old-fashioned one in my family (so they tell me), I fix my own tires, and my brother is always telling me to get radials and quit buying old tires. | © 1990 by Terry Bisson.
