It's the last in our series of "10 More Great Sci-Fi Stories" as presented on vintage radio. Today, we depart from Dimension X and X Minus One to present a post-apocalyptic story by George R. Stewart, a best-selling author who was the great granddaddy of the "disaster" genre. His story The Earth Abides imagines what it might be like to be the last survivor of a plague that wipes out all of humanity.

Today we are nearing the conclusion of "10 More Great Sci-Fi Stories." This story is just too weird and wildly imaginative to not include in this list. A man repeatedly relives the same day, waking up every morning screaming. This Frederik Pohl story manages to be both highly original and explore popular themes of media paranoia of the era.

Today we imagine a future where the entire transit system is made up of gigantic conveyer belts, where you can have breakfast and a cup of coffee in a café on your way to work. But what happens when the engineers have a labor strike? Robert Heinlein is the author of this famous short story, as we continue our journey exploring the world of great sci-fi stories on radio.

Today we selected a story that doesn't deal with the unusual aliens and fantastic elements so much, but delves into the psychology of complete human isolation. A man has been alone in an outpost in outer space for six years, and lives side by side with his delusions. Now that the time has come to relieve him of his duties, will he know what is real and what isn't?

Its summer, and we are back this week to continue with some of the best science fiction to come from the golden age of radio and sci-fi. Today's imaginative story mixes Nazis and "shrinking" technology. This story by the lesser known writer Villiers Gerson is "Fantastic Voyage" with a unique spin.

This week's great science fiction story is by Murray Leinster. He is most famous for his story on artificial intelligence "A Logic Named Joe," where he uncannily predicted the Internet. This story is a little more thinky, as it wrestles with heady problems of a "first contact" with an alien intelligence. Earth explorers encounter an alien ship in the midst of space, but both ships find they can not risk trusting the other, or returning home, doomed to an eternal stalemate.

Today's unusual science fiction story is by Hugo-Award winning writer Mark Clifton, and deals with children who are a step beyond the genius IQ. They are "Brights," and they have figured out how to manipulate the space-time continuum, making the inter-dimensional cosmos their playground. This creates a thorny problem for their parents, the "Tweens" and "Stupids" to figure out.

This is a compelling story of a family that survived a cataclysmic event, when a passing meteorite pulls the earth out of Axis and away from the sun. It is a story that is at the same time claustrophobic, about a family clinging to life in "the nest," and vast, as they must go to fetch frozen air in the frozen wastes in order to keep breathing. It's from the pen of Fritz Leiber, writer of fantasy, horror, and science fiction.

Another great science fiction story today from one of our favorite writers of the Golden Age and beyond, Ray Bradbury. This is may be his best time travel story, about a couple from the future, who travel back in time to escape the horrors of a world consumed by war. They are being pursued though, by an agent from the future who is attempting to send them back.

We begin a new series this week, with science fiction stories that are still as imaginative, mind-blowing, and entertaining as they were originally written. Our first stop is an author who is best-known for his i-Robot/Foundations series, Isaac Asimov. This is his riveting stand-alone short story all about cancer, and the "real" cause of cancer, that will have you scratching your head--and wondering if he is right.

That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Special thanks to Love the Vibe for yet another 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts. “My two cents.

Yes, we skipped 82, due to some technical errors with the recording rendering, our apologies! BUT! Thanks for tuning in to the conclusion of the Sci-FI month here on Make Mine Paperback! The final discussion on the topic is on Heavy Liquid, written and drawn by Paul Pope. No discussion on science fiction would be complete without mentioning cyberpunk, so this comic was handpicked to fill that void. Paul Pope is an expert at using artwork to tell a story, and this comic is a perfect example of his drawing skills. In addition to amazing imagery, this book manages to tell a compelling story! The comic reads like an instruction manual for the many uses of Heavy Liquid: explosive, sculpting clay, and psychedelic drug. Listen in, as the guys try to figure out what the story means and who the real star of the comic is! As a bonus, we list the many reasons coffee pairs so well with comics! 

Welcome back! And thanks for choosing to listen to Make Mine Paperback, where the discussion on fictional science continues. You'll have to forgive the lack of cocktails as our mixologist is down with the sickness. This week the focus is on Universal War One, which is a French comic written and drawn by Dennis Bajra, but adapted for an English-speaking audience. In a riveting story, a mysterious black wall appears at the edge of our solar system. It is up to a team of court-martialed scientists and pilots to figure out the mystery! Listen in as the guys talk about where they think the story is headed and what some of the symbolism could mean. As a bonus, there is a comparison to the DC comic series The Suicdidce Squad. Listen in to this exciting episode!

140 Stockwerke tief liegt das Silo unter der Erde: Hier sind zehntausende von Menschen zuhause - es gibt ein Kraftwerk, Äcker, Gewächshäuser, sogar eine Recyclinganlage. Denn nichts und niemand darf das Silo verlassen. So will es der Pakt, der das Zusammenleben unter der Erde seit einem katastrophalen Ereignis vor über hundert Jahren regelt. Doch was, wenn der auf einer Lüge gründet? Hugh Howey hat für seinen Science Fiction Mehrteiler "Wool" eine spannende rätselhafte Story über mehrere Generationen gesponnen - und eine faszinierende Welt entworfen. In der neuen AppleTV+ Verfilmung des Bestsellers erwacht diese Sci-Fi-Welt jetzt eindrucksvoll zum Leben. Doch was genau ist eigentlich Science Fiction und was macht gute Science-Fiction-Erzählungen aus? Youtuber Jack Pop überprüft wissenschaftlich bei "Science vs. Fiction", wie viel an den Ideen aus Science-Fiction-Serien und Filmen dran ist. Er erklärt den "Skip Intro"-Hosts Katja Engelhardt und Vanessa Schneider, wie plausibel die Wissenschaft in Sci-Fi Stories sein muss und worin die Grenzen des Genres liegen.

Dick.  That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.A few weeks ago Blind Voyager said and I quote, “It would be fun to do an episode of several short, very short sci-fi stories." Thanks for your request Blind Voyager and today's episode would never have happened if not for you!I came across several interesting short stories months ago but it's tough to sell a 4 minute audiobook and the thought of a super short podcast didn't appeal to me either. However, when we got the request from Blind Voyager the light bulb went on and I began planning today's podcast.After you have a chance to listen, and you will want to listen all the way to the end, let us know what you think by commenting and tell us if we should do another episode of the The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast with several super short sci-fi stories. You can always send us an email, scott@lostscifi.com.Our first story today can be found in the June 1960 edition of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, "Earthmen Bearing Gifts" by Fredric Brown…That's "Earthmen Bearing Gifts" by Fredric Brown… up next another story by Brown which first appeared in Fantastic Science Fiction Stories in August 1960, "The House"…That's "The House" by Fredric Brown and now our last Fredric Brown story for today, from Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in 1954, "Experiment"… Let's go back to October 1944, you could buy Super Science Stories for 15 cents and if you did you would have found, "And Then—The Silence" by Ray Bradbury...In 1953 Harry Walton wrote a short story that was published in the March/April 1953 edition of Fantastic using the pen name Harry Fletcher, "A Star Falls on Broadway"... If you'd picked up a copy of the April 1942 Astounding Science Fiction you would have discovered this super short story by Isaac Asimov, "Time Pussy"...The next two stories by Philip K. Dick didn't appear in a science fiction magazine when they were written. And they weren't credited to Philip K. Dick. These stories were published in the Berkeley Daily Gazette. Dick was only 13 years old when he wrote The Black Arts which appeared in the newspaper on Wednesday September 16th, 1942 and credited to Philip Dick.

In der dreizehnten Episode des VRODO_Cast, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality, spekulieren wir über das Potenzial von Googles Daydream-Brille und tanzen Tango in die Mixed Reality. Daydream View ist da. Fast ein Jahr begleitete uns Googles neue VR-Brille nur als Potenzial, jetzt muss sich das Gerät im Alltag beweisen. Einen ausführlichen Test gibt es hier. Im Podcast besprechen wir die Qualität der Hard- und Software zum Launch und was uns mit Daydream in der Zukunft erwarten könnte. Neben Daydream gibt es noch einen weiteren interessanten Hardware-Launch: Lenovos Tango-Smartphone geht endlich - mit reichlich Verzögerung - an den Start. Was macht man mit Augmented Reality im Smartphone? Welche Anwendungen könnte es geben? Ist es der Wegbereiter für die Mixed Reality, wie wir sie aus Sci-Fi-Stories kennen? Und was ist, wenn digitale und reale Objekte gleichberechtigt in derselben Umgebung existieren? Wer verdient damit Geld - und wie? Wir stolpern Tango in die Mixed Reality und verzetteln uns in einer Diskussion, die man über mehrere Tage hinweg führen könnte, die wir aber gnädig nach einer halben Stunde abbrechen. Gern geschehen. ;) Mehr News und Infos zu Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality gibt es hier: https://vrodo.de
