This could be a Christmas story. If it is, it shows one way Peace on Earth can be attained! Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans, thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Author Dean Evans makes his debut on the podcast. Evans wasnât his real name, that would be George Kull. Couldnât find his date of birth or where he was born but we know he lived in California. The only thing I could find about him was these words from author Frederik Pohl who said, ââThere was a fellow named George Kull in CaliforniaâŚwho wrote pretty good light mysteries, but he wrote them in enormous volume, and I couldnât sell them as fast as he wrote them. He was starving to death, and he was into me for like three thousand dollars when I wrote him off.â
Kull, as Dean Evans, published 12 short stories from 1951 to 1953. His first story can be found on page 113 in Galaxy Science Fiction in December 1951, Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean EvansâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was dangerously insane. He threatened to destroy everything that was noble and decentâincluding my date with my girl! The Spy in the Elevator by Donald E. Westlake.

One man's fact is fantasy for anotherâexcept the man whose fantasies become solid facts! Proof of the Pudding by Robert Sheckley, thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Your 5 star reviews are greatly appreciated. People who discover our podcast see your reviews and give us a chance, we are thankful for all your reviews.
M Coats recently gave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts and says, âWhat are you waiting for? I found this podcast though my libraryâs app. But while my library app allows for 5 audio book check-outs a month, this podcast has no constraints. The audio is clear, the stories and well read, and the selection is varied enough that I have not heard most of these stories. I am only a recent listener, but I am already 30 episodes in.â
Thanks M Coats, weâre glad you found us.
Kezzathezombie left a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts Australia. Kezza had this to say, âMagnificent! In a world of true crime, history buffs and self help gurus, this is such a breath of fresh air. Each episode brings a new adventure filled with social parody and old world charm. Perfect for anyone with an imagination and a sense of adventure.â
Thanks Mr. zombie, or is that Mrs. zombie?
Did you know that you can leave a review on Apple Podcasts in your country even if you listen somewhere else? Yes you can and we would appreciate it if you would.
Thanks to you The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast is becoming more popular all over the world. Weâre #5 in Turkey, #1 in Kenya again, and #6 in Latvia. Thank you!
Robert Sheckley is one of my favorite vintage sci-fi authors and he doesnât disappoint in todayâs tale, taken from Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in August 1952. Discover this intriguing story on page 41, Proof of the Pudding by Robert SheckleyâŚ

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, thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Episode 200 of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast didnât go as planned. Weâve 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 itâs 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 todayâs story and the next few will all be less than an hour.
We always love a good time travel story and thatâs 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 PohlâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, One man's fact is fantasy for anotherâexcept â¨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, thatâs 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, âWorthy of the Mindwebs comparison! A friend recommended I check out your show with the huge compliment that it is at times similar to âMindwebsâ only without the background music and occasional help from other voice actors. I LOVE your show. I appreciate the source material used. Iâve 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.â
Thanks DERREKw and Iâm sorry I didn't discover your awesome review until now. If you havenât already left us a review on Apple Podcasts weâd 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 âAjax Calkinsâ the hero in todayâs story, would appear in six stories written by Wollheim, but unfortunately it looks like none of them are in the public domain. Weâll meet Ajax Calkins on page 82 of the October 1941 issue of Future Combined with Science Fiction Magazine. Pogo Planet by Donald A. WollheimâŚ
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, thatâs 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, âItâs a story that might have come from one of Americaâs more mature and experienced writers. Our assumption at first was that it did. But we were wrong. Itâs a âfirst publishedâ 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 âfirstâ but one that was written by the youngest writer (to our knowledge) ever to break into science fiction.â
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. Howâs 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 HidalgoâŚ
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, thatâs 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 todayâs 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 âI am loving your channel! Thank you for the blast from the past and the great entertainment. Phenomenal quality podcast, one of the best!â Thank you @mirzamay! Thunderace4588 had this to say âHow you narrate these stories makes the characters come to life for me. Thank you Scott Miller.â Thank you @thunderace4588! Commenting on The World That Couldnât be by Clifford D. Simak @chrisgale5634 says, âSimak was just brilliant. He is largely forgotten about these days, so it's great to honour his stories.â I agree chrisgale5634 and thanks for your comment. And harrygrimley4352 says âNarrator's voice is great. Makes me think of Casey Kasem.â 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 todayâs 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, âWillieâs Time: Baseballâs Golden Age,â telling of Maysâs 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 Einsteinâs 5 stories on page 77 of If Worlds of Science Fiction in August 1958, Short Snorter by Charles EinsteinâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, weâll 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

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 BradburyâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, If Joe Mulloy was perfectâand he wasâthen beyond his perfection here only could be⌠Super Joe Mulloy by Scott F. Grenville.

Weâre going Live Thursday February 22nd at 8 PM in New York, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Montreal and Toronto on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. We would love it if you would join us.
I chose to narrate todayâs story because itâs 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 donât know if itâs the same guy. We know nothing else about him.
His first story appeared on page page 94 of Thrilling Wonder Stories Magazine in August 1953. Metamorphosis by Mike CurryâŚ

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, thatâs 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 couldâve 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 todayâs 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 CummingsâŚ

Stephen Kagan bought us $25 worth of coffee and says, âThank 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.â
Thanks Stephen, and by the way, my wife is the one who LOVES coffee. Thereâs 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 todayâs 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 thereâs 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 MathesonâŚ
