Listen for free

  • 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.

  • You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin - Short Sci Fi Story From the 1950s

    You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin - Short Sci Fi Story From the 1950s
    Jul 3 2024

    This was the audience participation show that couldn’t be topped! You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    If the name Joseph Slotkin rings a bell you’ve been with us since the very beginning of the podcast. Episode 3, which was released on Wednesday, February 23, 2022 featured two stories, And All The Girls Were Nude by Richard Magruder and The Queen of Space by Joseph Slotkin. I enjoyed Slotkin’s work so I went looking for another Slotkin story but couldn’t find any, until now.


    On page 49 in Science Fiction Quarterly in May 1955, You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, When the energy of Earth’s experimental station in space runs amuck, scientist Roger Sheldon puts up a big battle! Atomic Station by Frank Belknap Long.

Vintage Sci-Fi at its BEST!

An excellent collection of short stories from various writers long forgotten in many cases. Many of them I had never heard of, but they are now part of my listening collection. The narrator is top-notch and brings each story to life..Bravo Sir!
