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 the decade, but…”Sterling Lanier of the Chilton Book Company, the company most often associated with automobile repair manuals, was exposed to Dune World in Analog and offered Herbert a $7,500 advance plus future royalties for the rights to publish Dune. Obviously Dune was a success, winning the Nebula Award for best novel in 1965 and sharing the Hugo Award in 1966 with Call Me Conrad by Roger Zelazny. However, Dune, was not an immediate bestseller, and following its publication he went back to writing for newspapers. He didn't become a full-time author until 1972.In addition to his numerous novels Herbert wrote about 30 short stories, six of them are in the public domain. Let's turn to page 89 in the April 1958 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine, for, Old Rambling House by Frank Herbert…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He walked alone in the dawn and the dusk, and no one knew his name. But the day he perished, and the way he perished–a world will never forget! Mimic by Donald A.

Exiles on Mars face a barren future until Leonard Mark brings a glimpse of freedom. The Visitor by Ray Bradbury, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Another new 5 star review on Apple Podcasts. This one was written by Jedi1Josh who says, “Great Podcast. I'd like to hear more super short stories. Also is there any chance of doing an episode where you read All You Zombies by Heinlein?”Thanks for your review and requests Josh. We are working on another episode featuring super short stories. As for All You Zombies, to the best of my knowledge that story is not in the public domain so we can't record it. Sorry to disappoint.We would love it if you'd leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts if you think we deserve it. And we love to hear from you. Send us an email, scott@lostscifi.com.We've narrated a few Ray Bradbury stories and shared them on the podcast and I liked all of them, but I LOVE this one. From the yellowed and tattered pages of the November 1948 issue of Startling Stories our story can be found on page 131, The Visitor by Ray Bradbury…I narrated The Visitor not only because it was written by Ray Bradbury, it's more than that, the idea that greed and envy can mess up a good thing is such a simple but meaningful concept, and a great lesson. I searched for a long time and I couldn't find this story available anywhere which is another reason I narrated The Visitor.Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Walter Sills labored for years as an unknown laboratory worker—but at fifty he makes his great discovery!

Two of them had movies made about their wartime exploits — “30 Seconds over Tokyo” and “The Great Escape”; a third, captured and imprisoned in the raid, returned to Japan after the war as a Christian missionary.

In this tiny story published in 1947 in STARTLING STORIES, Robert A. Heinlein explores the struggle for progress and how every generation builds off the courage of those that came before, and how we forget.

"Navidad en Ganímedes" es un cuento de ciencia ficción del escritor estadounidense Isaac Asimov. Fue escrito en diciembre de 1940, publicado por primera vez en el número de enero de 1942 de Startling Stories y reimpreso en la colección de 1972 The Early Asimov y la antología Christmas on Ganymede and Other Stories, editada por Martin H. Greenberg. Fue la vigésima sexta historia escrita por Asimov y la decimonovena en ser publicada. Como indica el título, la historia está ambientada en la luna joviana Ganímedes, la primera historia de Asimov ambientada en ese mundo. En la historia, Ganímedes tiene una atmósfera de oxígeno (que los humanos no pueden respirar del todo) y su propia flora y fauna nativas, incluida una raza nativa moderadamente inteligente, llamada Estrucitos (Ossies) por su parecido con los avestruces. Hay un asentamiento humano en Ganymede que está dirigido por Ganymedan Products Corporation, que exporta wolframita, hojas de karen y oxite a la Tierra, y que emplea a los Ossies como mano de obra.

Christmas on Ganymede es un cómico cuento de ciencia ficción escrito por Isaac Asimov publicado por primera vez en 1942 en la edición de enero de Startling Stories. Más tarde se incluyó en la antología Asimov Story de 1972 (the Early Asimov). Se ha publicado varias veces en italiano desde 1973. La historia está ambientada en la luna de Júpiter Ganímedes. En la historia, Ganímedes tiene una atmósfera de oxígeno, que no es del todo respirable por los humanos, su fauna y flora originales y nativos moderadamente inteligentes llamados...

Love this pod! A perfect pod for people who love the genre! Thanks mxsandy Todays author on Lost Sci-Fi led an interesting life. He was a popular and prolific author starting his sci-fi career with the short story Isolationist which ran in the April 1950 edition of Fantastic Adventures magazine. Fantastic Adventures got its start in 1939 and was almost cancelled in 1940 but the October issue that year had unexpectedly good sales so the magazine continued until March 1953. Our author sold another 6 stories to Fantastic Adventures in 1950 and 12 more in 1950 which were published in Out of This World Adventures, Startling Stories, Fantastic Adventures and others. A year later his first novel hit store shelves in 1951 titled The Case of the Little Green Men. It's believed that the first use of the term Little Green Men in reference to extraterrestrials in a newspaper dates back to 1908. It can be found in the oldest newspaper in Maine the Daily Kennebec Journal. The 1951 novel The Case of the Little Green Men is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. A decade would pass before this author would release another novel in 1961. There were 22 novels in the 60s, 35 in the 70s and 10 more in the 1980s. In addition to his almost 70 novels, he wrote almost 200 short stories. Born Dallas McCord Reynolds on November 11th, 1917, in Corcoran, California, he is best known as Mack Reynolds but like most of his successful contemporaries he had a variety of pen names, including Dallas Ross, Mark Mallory, Clark Collins, Guy McCord, Maxine Reynolds, Bob Belmont, and Todd Harding. His family moved to Baltimore in 1918 and his father became a member of the Socialist Labor Party or SLP. He joined the Socialist Labor Party while he was still in high school and shortly thereafter began touring the country with his father giving lectures and speeches about SLP. His father Verne La Rue Reynolds was the Socialist Labor Party Presidential Candidate in both 1928 and 1932. After graduation Reynolds began his writing career as a reporter for the Catskill Morning Star and then as editor of the weekly Oneonta News. He moved back to California and continued his work for the Socialist Labor Party even campaigning with SLP presidential candidate John Aiken in 1940. He attended the U.S. Army Marine Officer's Cadet School and the U.S. Marine Officer's School, joined the U.S. Army Transportation Corps in 1944 and was stationed in the Philippines as a ship's navigator until 1945. He married his first wife in 1937 and was divorced in 1945. A year later his first fiction sale, "What is Courage?", was published in Esquire magazine. In 1947 he married his second wife and she agreed to support him for two years to get his writing career off the ground. Reynolds moved to Taos, New Mexico. His career took off, he moved to Mexico then Greece, Yugoslavia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, Eastern Europe, Finland, India, Japan, and Hong Kong. When he wrote How to Retire without Money, under the pen name Bob Belmont, it caused the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Labor Party to charge Reynolds with "supporting the fraudulent claims of capitalist apologists” and he resigned his membership. Lem didn't like guarding the still while Paw and the boys went feuding. He wanted to get a shot at some Martins too! Yup, he sure did... From Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in June 1951, The Martians and the Coys by Mack Reynolds. Subscribe to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Stories Every Week on Soundwise

PULP-POURRI THEATRE SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 (NARADA RADIO COMPANY) Orig. rel. 5/24/14, "Tame Me This Beast" is based on a Jungle-Fiction short story of the same name by Robert Moore Williams, originally published in Startling Stories magazine.  This is Episode 8 of Season 1 of Pulp-Pourri Theatre, a anthology series consisting of four seasons, with each episode either adapted from or inspired by vintage pulp fiction. Adapted, Directed and Produced by Pete Lutz.  All materials such as sound effects and incidental music in this production were sourced from the public domain.  CAST: ANNOUNCER: Lisa Ayala SHALER, FREDDIE, GARSON: Dana Gonsalves  KIRKENDALL, TOM, SAILOR: Philboyd Studge  

“History Lesson” first appeared in the May, 1949 issue of Startling Stories.This is a fun little story that is split neatly into two narratives.The first part of the story is told from the perspective of a tribe of nomadic humans of the 30th century, in a future where Earth has entered a final ice age. The second part of the story is told from the perspective of a race of Venusian reptiles who have evolved into intelligent beings capable of space travel in the 5,000 years since the cooling of the Sun.The effort of the latter to understand the former is what makes this story so fun. Micheal Hanson really outdid himself this time with the voices and special effects. It's a great listen.Mind Webs was a 1970's series out of WHA Radio in Wisconsin that featured weekly short stories of science fiction by some of the genre's best writers. The music, sound cues and occasional character voices along with the performance of Michael Hansen, the reader, resulted in better than most fully dramatized productions of the period. Around 150 shows were aired between 1976 and 1984 varying in length, but most were about 30 minutes. Get full access to The Reader Crew at joshuajames.substack.com/subscribe

Absalom (Absalom) —a veces publicado en español como Absalón— es un relato fantástico de los escritores norteamericanos Henry Kuttner (1915-1958) y Catherine L. Moore (1911-1987), publicado originalmente en la edición de marzo de 1946 en la revista Startling Stories, y luego reeditado en la antología de 1852: Mañana, las estrellas (Tomorrow, the Stars). Absalom, uno de los grandes cuentos de Henry Kuttner, nos sitúa en un escenario global diferente, donde una mutación genética lo ha cambiado todo en las últimas generaciones, convirtiendo al Homo Sapiens en Homo Superior, haciendo que una gran porción de la generación más joven sea considerablemente más inteligente que sus que sus mayores. En este contexto, Absalom es un niño prodigio de ocho años, mucho más inteligente que su padre, quien de hecho es un hombre brillante. Absalom, posiblemente entre los cuentos de Catherine L. Moore más logrados, posee algunos rasgos que lo identifican con la ciencia ficción, pero su verdadera fuente son los mitos bíblicos, más precisamente la historia de Absalom, hijo de David, quien traicionó a su padre y luego fue asesinado. Irónicamente, Absalom es alabado por su hermosa cabellera, la misma que termina enredándose en un arbusto y dejándolo a merced de sus perseguidores. William Faulkner también utiliza a este personaje en la novela: ¡Absalom! ¡Absalom! (Absalom! Absalom!).

In our 49th podcast (49!) we combine two of our listener's favorite genres: Sci-fi and romance! "Moon, June, Spoon, Croon" is a futuristic Tale from the Summer, 1955 issue of Startling Stories (the same issue as listener favorite, "The Angry House) and while Alan reads, Rob interrupts and we discuss robot dating, janitors of the future, and the other Rick Astley song. Can a modern robot find its way in a cold, uncaring world? Can it overcome its limited yet somehow extremely powerful programming? And will the title ever make sense? All your questions will be answered (except that last one, cause, nope)! We also promo the excellent Ink to Film podcast, which you can find in your favorite podcast app or learn about right here. They read books and watch movies, it's a perfect blend of book talk, film talk, and humorous banter. Whether you've read the book or even seen the film they're discussing, it's always worth a listen!

First, Alan and Rob discuss their third favorite topic, exotic fruits, and evaluate the "miraculous" powers of the "Miracle" "Berry". Then we read this week's Tale, The Angry House. Straight from the summer, 1955 issue of Startling Stories comes the story of a (somewhat) smart house against a pair of (somewhat) bumbling thieves in the future! Yep, it's like a robot Kevin McCallister taking on Joe Pesci and the guy from Bushwacked in the future. Laugh along at all the maiming and pain, just like we do each Christmas!

En este cuento de sátira y ciencia ficción: Eric está deshaciendo las maletas tras regresar de un viaje de negocios a Ganímedes. Entre los bultos, algo llama la atención de su esposa. ¿Un regalo? Se ciernen sobre el trabajador de la megaempresa Metales Inc. una serie de calamitosas desdichas y antes de que acabe el día ambos terminarán envueltos en una lucha extradimensional que sinceramente ni les va ni les viene. [semi-spoiler] Titulo original “A present for Pat”, se publicó en “Startling Stories” en 1954. Me parece descojonante este cuento/experimento humorístico/fantástico. Pasaria perfectamente como un guion normal podria de "Hora de aventuras". Tiene buenas ideas y detalles (la conversación •casual” y random con el robot taxista es fantástica. Ya en “Campaña publicitaria” habíamos visto a dos personajes secundarios robot debatiendo cuestiones filosóficoproletarias cuando el protagonista para en una gasolinera en la salida del cinturón de asteroides). Quien iba a imaginar que tu jefe, el que es un capullo manipulador hij… es precisamente la encarnación extradimensional de un mal superior. NarLok! O Morlok, lo que sea. Y esa mascota adorable que traes safando las leyes de protección ambiental planetaria como si fuera un lémur resulta que es una deidad menor! No pude evitar pensar en Mordisquitos, de futurama, por supuesto. Crítica al capitalismo otra vez (el jefe de la empresa es el demonio). Al principio y muy rápidamente, cuando el dios explica que es un ser de una dimensión “superior” (que los protas matizan llamándola sólo “diferente”, sin grado, coherencia cognitiva : ) nos da una explicación posible de los orígenes de la religión. Lo de la extradimensionalidad me recordó a Planilandia, si no habéis visto la explicación de Sagan sobre planilandia corred a Youtube pero si no habéis visto es que nunca visteis Cosmos (la serie original) y en ese caso ya no sé qué hacéis leyendo esto, corred a ver cosmos! Lo panoli que es el protagonista me volvió a recordar al de La Torre de los Siete Jorobados que comenté el otro día, pero como siempre mis referencias a veces son bastante gratuitas. Es genial como en la mundanidad y la cotidianeidad Dick sitúa la eterna lucha entre el bien y el mal. La escena final con los dos personajes transformándose en monstruos gigantes voladores me parece increíble, con una pelea rollo Godzilla y el Dios bueno desapareciendo justo después de guiñarle el ojo a nuestros protagonistas como diciendo “Preparadme un Arenque!. Volveré para desayunar” (esto es una referencia a Ace Rimmer de Enano Rojo que no está claro que nadie pille ni venga a cuento). Por cierto que el dios es bien machista y tiene un par de frases que no suscribimos. No nos hacemos responsables de las opiniones vertidas por los protagonistas de estos relatos! Eso, me encantó esta mezcla de comedia y fantasía (pasan muchas cosas que son bien absurdas. A jefe le dicen que el sapo es su mejor trabajador y se lo cree sin más.

En este cuento de sátira y ciencia ficción: Eric está deshaciendo las maletas tras regresar de un viaje de negocios a Ganímedes. Entre los bultos, algo llama la atención de su esposa. ¿Un regalo? Se ciernen sobre el trabajador de la megaempresa Metales Inc. una serie de calamitosas desdichas y antes de que acabe el día ambos terminarán envueltos en una lucha extradimensional que sinceramente ni les va ni les viene. [semi-spoiler] Titulo original “A present for Pat”, se publicó en “Startling Stories” en 1954. Me parece descojonante este cuento/experimento humorístico/fantástico. Pasaria perfectamente como un guion normal podria de "Hora de aventuras". Tiene buenas ideas y detalles (la conversación •casual” y random con el robot taxista es fantástica. Ya en “Campaña publicitaria” habíamos visto a dos personajes secundarios robot debatiendo cuestiones filosóficoproletarias cuando el protagonista para en una gasolinera en la salida del cinturón de asteroides). Quien iba a imaginar que tu jefe, el que es un capullo manipulador hij… es precisamente la encarnación extradimensional de un mal superior. NarLok! O Morlok, lo que sea. Y esa mascota adorable que traes safando las leyes de protección ambiental planetaria como si fuera un lémur resulta que es una deidad menor! No pude evitar pensar en Mordisquitos, de futurama, por supuesto. Crítica al capitalismo otra vez (el jefe de la empresa es el demonio). Al principio y muy rápidamente, cuando el dios explica que es un ser de una dimensión “superior” (que los protas matizan llamándola sólo “diferente”, sin grado, coherencia cognitiva : ) nos da una explicación posible de los orígenes de la religión. Lo de la extradimensionalidad me recordó a Planilandia, si no habéis visto la explicación de Sagan sobre planilandia corred a Youtube pero si no habéis visto es que nunca visteis Cosmos (la serie original) y en ese caso ya no sé qué hacéis leyendo esto, corred a ver cosmos! Lo panoli que es el protagonista me volvió a recordar al de La Torre de los Siete Jorobados que comenté el otro día, pero como siempre mis referencias a veces son bastante gratuitas. Es genial como en la mundanidad y la cotidianeidad Dick sitúa la eterna lucha entre el bien y el mal. La escena final con los dos personajes transformándose en monstruos gigantes voladores me parece increíble, con una pelea rollo Godzilla y el Dios bueno desapareciendo justo después de guiñarle el ojo a nuestros protagonistas como diciendo “Preparadme un Arenque!. Volveré para desayunar” (esto es una referencia a Ace Rimmer de Enano Rojo que no está claro que nadie pille ni venga a cuento).
