The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

Written by: Scott Miller
  • Summary

  • Step aboard our cosmic vessel and embark on a thrilling journey through the annals of science fiction history. Delve into the realms of imagination with us as we traverse the vast expanses of the solar system, encountering aliens, robots, and spacefaring brigands amidst the twinkling stars. Our spacefaring odyssey takes us beyond the confines of light-years, venturing into the unknown to unveil the secrets of distant planets and the enigmatic beings that inhabit them.


    Join us three times a week as we unearth timeless tales penned by the luminaries of vintage sci-fi literature. From the visionary minds of Philip K. Dick to the poetic prose of Ray Bradbury, from the boundless imagination of Isaac Asimov to the pioneering works of H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Harlan Ellison, Fritz Leiber, Alan E. Nourse, Frederik Pohl, and countless others, we bring you short stories that have shaped the genre for generations.


    Prepare to journey back in time, sixty, a hundred years, or more, to an era when these awe-inspiring narratives first graced the pages of pulp magazines and sci-fi anthologies. Yet, paradoxically, our destination often lies in the distant future, where the echoes of these literary marvels continue to resonate.


    Guiding us through this celestial voyage is our narrator, Scott Miller, who serves as your companion and guide as we traverse the cosmos, exploring the wonders of yesteryear and the possibilities of tomorrow. Join us as we navigate the depths of space and time, embarking on an adventure that transcends the boundaries of imagination.

    Another 5 Star review on Apple Podcasts, davidautrey says, “Amazing Opportunity To glimpse back, like a Sci fi time machine. Particularly amazing; the Sci fi from 1700s. Glad I found this show. You are like a pre tv radio, a hit too.” Thanks David, we’re glad you found us too and thanks for your review.


    We love narrating science fiction stories by authors that most people are familiar with. However, the reason we started The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, and the reason it’s called Lost Sci-Fi is because of stories like the one you are about to hear from an author you’ve probably never heard of.


    Jerry Shelton had 5 short science fiction stories published from 1944 to 1947. This is the last of those stories which appeared on page 89 in Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1947. You Are Forbidden by Jerry Shelton


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Experimenting with the eyes can be a very dangerous thing. You can go blind—or maybe you’ll see something no man alive was meant to look upon!. Beyond the Ultra Violet by Frank M. Robinson.

  • The Star by H. G. Wells - Sci-Fi Short Story From the 1800s
    May 3 2024

    As a mysterious star hurtles toward Earth, bringing with it unprecedented chaos and destruction, humanity grapples with the impending apocalypse and the uncertain fate of their world. Amidst the turmoil, a diverse array of individuals—from scientists to lovers, from scholars to refugees—navigate the cataclysmic events and search for meaning in the face of annihilation. The Star by H. G. Wells, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

    H. G. Wells isn’t new to the podcast and there are more of his stories on the way. This short story was written during a rather remarkably productive time for Wells, a year after The Island of Doctor Moreau, the same year as The Invisible Man and a year before The War of the Worlds. From 1897 an apocalyptic tale you won't soon forget, The Star by H. G. Wells

  • Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch - Short Sci Fi Story From the 1950s
    Apr 26 2024

    Working on the theory that you can skin a sucker in space as well as on Earth, the con team of Harding and Sheckly operated furtively but profitably among natives of the outer planets. That is—until there was a question of turnabout being fair play in a world where natives took their skinning literally! Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    It’s been more than two year since Charles E. Fritch has been on the podcast with Danger In The Void. Let’s go back in time almost 70 years ago and open the pages of the May 1954 publication of If World’s of Science Fiction. You will find two stories we’ve featured previously. Prominent Author by Philip K. Dick and Forsyte’s Retreat by Winston Marks. Our third story from that magazine is found on page 55, Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch
