Young Thom Ra travels back to the hideous Venus-Earth war, and ventures peril to win lovely Elren Dri for his mate! A Hitch in Time by Frederik Pohl, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Episode 200 of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast didn’t go as planned. We’ve been facing some health challenges over the last 2 weeks and want to say thanks to all of you who have expressed your concern. Our plan was to get reacquainted with our old friend Bud Gregory for episode 200 but it’s a longer story than we are able to narrate at this moment. Funny how you take breathing for granted until you are struggling to breathe. So today’s story and the next few will all be less than an hour.
We always love a good time travel story and that’s what we have for you today. From Thrilling Wonder Stories in June 1947, James MacCreigh is credited with writing the story on page 61, but we know the real author, A Hitch in Time by Frederik Pohl…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, One man's fact is fantasy for another—except the man whose fantasies become solid facts! Proof of the Pudding by Robert Sheckley.

Introducing that modest little superman, that shrinking violet of destiny, Ajax Calkins, and a world where you had to hop, in some way, to get where you wanted to go! Pogo Planet by Donald A. Wollheim, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
More 5 Star reviews on Apple Podcasts! I missed this from several months ago from DERREKw, who gave us 5 Stars and says, “Worthy of the Mindwebs comparison! A friend recommended I check out your show with the huge compliment that it is at times similar to “Mindwebs” only without the background music and occasional help from other voice actors. I LOVE your show. I appreciate the source material used. I’ve come to really appreciate your consistency reading each story. Keep it up! Two Thumbs up, A+, and 5 Stars from one of your newest fans in Colorado Springs.”
Thanks DERREKw and I’m sorry I didn't discover your awesome review until now. If you haven’t already left us a review on Apple Podcasts we’d really appreciate your honest review if you would be so kind.
Donald A. Wollheim was a sci-fi fan, author, editor and publisher. He was a founding member of The Futurians, a New York based group of science fiction fans who were a major force in science fiction writing and fandom from 1937 to 1945.
The 1979 first edition of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction calls Wollheim "one of the first and most vociferous SF fans. He would go on to write eight novels and about a hundred short stories.
The character “Ajax Calkins” the hero in today’s story, would appear in six stories written by Wollheim, but unfortunately it looks like none of them are in the public domain. We’ll meet Ajax Calkins on page 82 of the October 1941 issue of Future Combined with Science Fiction Magazine. Pogo Planet by Donald A. Wollheim…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They didn't have a choice. They would either land or crash on The Planet of Illusion by Donald A. Wollheim.

What lasts forever? Does love? Does death?... Nothing lasts forever.... Not even forever Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
When I discovered this story I knew I had to narrate it, and that was before I discovered that it was written by a 15 year old descendant of Simon Bolivar, the Liberator of America. Bolivar led what are currently the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama and Bolivia to independence from the Spanish Empire.
Homecoming appeared in If Worlds of Science Fiction magazine and they had this to say, “It’s a story that might have come from one of America’s more mature and experienced writers. Our assumption at first was that it did. But we were wrong. It’s a “first published” story (in America) by a young man named Miguel Hidalgo who is all of 15 years old. At first we didn't believe it, but it was confirmed and we found ourselves with not only a “first” but one that was written by the youngest writer (to our knowledge) ever to break into science fiction.”
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Miguel came to the United States, in a basket, at the age of two months. Began writing poetry at the age of five and before he was ten he had published numerous short stories as well as poetry. He traveled the world with his mother, who was one of the first women diplomats from Venezuela to the United States. How’s that for a bio.
This story, and others like it, is the reason we created The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, to share with the world a story that has been forgotten. An undiscovered gem.
From If Worlds of Science Fiction in April 1958, discover this forgotten treasure on page 59, Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Introducing that modest little superman, that shrinking violet of destiny, Ajax Calkins, and a world where you had to hop, in some way, to get where you wanted to go! Pogo Planet by Donald A. Wollheim

His saucer was parked in the woods, and Mr. Steariot (from Venus) was parked in the lobby.... Short Snorter by Charles Einstein, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
What does Willie Mays, Curb Your Enthusiasm, stuntman Super Dave Osborne and the 1991 movie Defending Your Life starring Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep and Rip Torn have to do with today’s story? The answer coming up.
Thanks for listening, sharing and commenting on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. Comments on our YouTube channel have exploded in the last few weeks. Mirzamay says “I am loving your channel! Thank you for the blast from the past and the great entertainment. Phenomenal quality podcast, one of the best!” Thank you @mirzamay! Thunderace4588 had this to say “How you narrate these stories makes the characters come to life for me. Thank you Scott Miller.” Thank you @thunderace4588! Commenting on The World That Couldn’t be by Clifford D. Simak @chrisgale5634 says, “Simak was just brilliant. He is largely forgotten about these days, so it's great to honour his stories.” I agree chrisgale5634 and thanks for your comment. And harrygrimley4352 says “Narrator's voice is great. Makes me think of Casey Kasem.” Thanks harrygrimley4352 I hear that quite frequently and have heard it dating back to my days on the radio. As Casey Kasem was listened to by millions of adoring fans I accept your kind words as a huge compliment.
Charles Einstein, the author of today’s story was an author and sportswriter. He was born in Boston is 1926. He was a newspaperman, specifically a baseball writer and his 1979 book, “Willie’s Time: Baseball’s Golden Age,” telling of Mays’s career and the events in American society when he starred for the Giants, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Einstein had two younger half-brothers, Bob and Albert. Bob Einstein was an actor, comedy writer and producer. He created and performed the character Super Dave Osborne and appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development. His brother and our authors half-brother was born Albert Lawrence Einstein, also known as Albert Brooks. The 1991 romantic comedy-fantasy film Defending Your Life, one of my favorite movies, was written, directed and starred Albert Brooks.
There was a lot of talent in that family. Charles Einstein wrote several novels including, The Bloody Spur, on which the 1956 film While The City Sleeps, directed by Fritz Lang of Metropolis fame, was based. Charles wrote 5 short fiction stories in the late 1950s and early 60s. Look for his first short fiction story Tunnel 1971, written in 1957 in a future episode. Discover the third of Einstein’s 5 stories on page 77 of If Worlds of Science Fiction in August 1958, Short Snorter by Charles Einstein…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we’ll hear a story written by a teenage descendant of Simon Bolivar, What lasts forever? Does love? Does death?... Nothing lasts forever.... Not even forever Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo

Every Thursday when we go live one of our listeners gets to choose a story they would like us to narrate.

He had been in the cave for only a short time it seemed. But when he finally emerged the world he knew was gone. And it had left him with a strange—Inheritance. Inheritance by Edward W. Ludwig, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
This is the second sci-fi short story written by Edward W. Ludwig on our podcast. I chose to narrate this story because I was searching for another story by Ludwig and this type of science fiction is a favorite of mine. Our story can be found on page 150 in the very first issue of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in October 1950, Inheritance by Edward W. Ludwig…

Ray Bradbury is back on the podcast with a story that first appeared in the October 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories Magazine. Bradbury used the pen name Brett Sterling. Why did he use a pen name? Another one of his stories was in the same issue and magazines didn't like to have more than one story per author in an issue. Our story can be found on page 148, Referent by Ray Bradbury…

I chose to narrate today’s story because it’s unique and interesting and because I had never heard of the author Mike Curry. He wrote only two short stories in the 1950s and then disappeared for almost 4 decades. A Mike Curry is credited with two stories in the 1990s but we don’t know if it’s the same guy. We know nothing else about him.

Barstac found it hard to believe that this girl had helped him escape—until he learned her reason. Moon of Memory by Bryce Walton, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Bryce Walton made his first appearance on our podcast about a week ago and he’s back with an interesting tale of a criminal and his attempted escape from the prison on Mars.
It was published in a magazine with a rather unusual name, Future Combined With Science Fiction Stories, in November 1950. Let’s go to page 68, Moon of Memory by Bryce Walton…

Groff ruled the world through Fear. Fear of his awful power ... his twisted, mad brain. For one day that brain would crack. When it did, the World would dissolve in cataclysmic Chaos. The Man Who Killed the World by Ray Cummings, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
This is the first time author Ray Cummings has appeared on our podcast. Cummings was born in New York City in 1887. Before his career as a science fiction author took off he worked for inventor Thomas Edison as a personal assistant and technical writer for 5 years. He wrote more than 200 short stories in his career.
Back in 1940 you could’ve purchased the Spring issue of Planet Stories Magazine for 20 cents. You would have discovered two short stories by Ray Cummings in that issue, The Girl From Infinite Smallness on page 30 and today’s story which appears on page 94 and is credited to Ray King, one of many pen names he used. The Man Who Killed the World by Ray Cummings…

The story of a modern Icarus — David Rand was a freak of nature, a glorious, winged freak, who had experienced the freedom of the sky and could no longer be tied to the ground. He That Hath Wings by Edmond Hamilton, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Our winner a couple of weeks ago, “customgod” chose the story you’re about to hear. Edmond Hamilton was born in Youngstown Ohio in 1904 and this is his first appearance on the podcast. His career as a science fiction writer began with the publication of "The Monster God of Mamurth" in the August 1926 issue of Weird Tales Magazine.
Weird Tales would publish 79 works of fiction by Hamilton from 1926 to 1948, making him one of the magazine's most prolific contributors.
In 1942 Hamilton began writing for DC Comics, specializing in stories for Superman and Batman. He wrote more than a dozen novels and almost 200 short stories.
On New Years Eve 1946 Hamilton married science fiction author Leigh Brackett, Ray Bradbury was his best man. Hamilton died in February 1977, his wife died a year later.
From the July 1948 issue of Weird Tales Magazine our story is found on page 70, He That Hath Wings by Edmond Hamilton…

Tons of sinuous muscle, buried in fetid Venusian slime, he knew how to survive. Equipped with an ageless brain and lightning instincts, he also knew how to die! Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Today marks the debut of author Bryce Walton on the podcast. Walton was born in 1918 in tiny Blythedale, Missouri, population about 300 when he was born.
He wrote nearly 100 short stories but wasn’t recognized as one of the great sci-fi authors of the 1940s and 50s. However, he was credited several times as a writer for Alfred Hitchcock Presents which aired from 1955 to 1962.
From Planet Stories Magazine in Winter 1946, turn to page 77 for, Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton…

She was sad and lonely, this 19 year old college freshmen. So when he paid attention to her she reluctantly did the very things her mother warned her about. Dance of the Dead by Richard Matheson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Stephen Kagan bought us $25 worth of coffee and says, “Thank you so much for all the great stories and wonderful storytelling. Listening to your podcast has kept me company many mornings on my long commute to work and makes it more pleasurable as the traffic dissolves and you transport me to other worlds and times. I must say I've really enjoyed the Harry Harrison, Robert Silverberg and Arthur C. Clarke stories the most and would love to hear more. And boy you must really love coffee! Thanks Again. Stephen.”
Thanks Stephen, and by the way, my wife is the one who LOVES coffee. There’s a link in the description if you would like to buy us a coffee.

We go live every Thursday on YouTube, our Facebook page and Twitter. A few weeks ago we started doing something that has proven to be really popular. We randomly select a listener every Thursday and they get to choose a story they want us to narrate. J. M. Jennings won and chose today’s story. Richard Matheson wrote it.
You might recognize the name because of his novel I am Legend, which has been adapted for the big screen three times, or his short story Duel which Steven Spielberg turned into a TV movie. Then there’s The Shrinking Man which became the movie The Incredible Shrinking Man, Hell House, The Legend of Hell House on film, Steel filmed as Real Steel, What Dreams May Come and there are more.
From the publication Star Science Fiction Stories No. 3 in January 1955, Dance of the Dead by Richard Matheson…

The humblest events sometimes result from the most grandiose beginnings. You'd never imagine space travel starting this way, for instance! Two Weeks in August by Frank M. Robinson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Thanks for another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts! DSBoston1 says, “ Great! Although the original Star Trek is almost considered “vintage”; by now, these stories go back even further. Short compelling tales, read perfectly by Scott with no unnecessary bells and whistles. You can of course tell that these were written in a very different time. But, that’s part of the educational process, learning about the roots of sci-fi and how its changed. Thank you Scott.”
Thank you for your fantastic review. We appreciate you and every listener we have in more than 130 countries around the world. Thank you for listening, rating, reviewing, sharing and supporting our podcast!!
Today's story comes from Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in February 1951. On page 102 we will find, Two Weeks in August by Frank M. Robinson…

The aliens looked cute as Koalas. But there was a little matter of a graveyard of dead space-ships. The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
One of the reasons we named it The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast was because we wanted to narrate stories that had never been narrated before and were little known, if known at all. Our story today, written by Gene L. Henderson, is one of those lost sci-fi short stories.
Who was he, where was he born? Questions we cannot answer. We do know that he wrote 9 short stories from 1951 to 1954 and one in 1964. In addition we know that this will not be the last story he wrote that we will narrate.
From the very first issue of Fantastic Universe Science Fiction Magazine dated June/July 1953 let’s go to page 119 and discover the story of, The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson…
