  • Something went wrong… and Ed Fletcher got mixed up in the biggest thing in his life. Adjustment Team by Philip K. Dick, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Another day and another Philip K. Dick story that became a movie. If Adjustment Team doesn’t ring a bell, maybe The Adjustment Bureau will. The Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt was released in 2011, received positive reviews from critics and did almost $128 million worldwide at the box office.


    Adjustment Team was published in only the 4th issue of Orbit Science Fiction Magazine and what turned out to be its next to last issue, in September 1954. Flip to page 81 for, Adjustment Team by Philip K. Dick…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The Luckiest Man Alive–obviously, will be the man who’s chosen “Mister Earth”! The Luckiest Man Alive by William Morrison.

  • No conceivable force could penetrate Terri's shield. Yet he was defenseless. No Shield from the Dead by Gordon R. Dickson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    We’re excited to welcome Gordon R. Dickson to our podcast for the first time today. Dickson was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 1923. After his father died, he and his mother moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1937. He served in the United States Army from 1943 to 1946. 


    Gordon R. Dickson wrote more than 140 short stories and over 50 novels during his career. He was highly prolific, with his works spanning various subgenres of science fiction and fantasy, including his well-known “Childe Cycle” series. Over his career, he won multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards. Unfortunately for us most of his work is not in the public domain.


    Let’s go back in time seventy one and a half years to the January 1953 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine, which also showcased Time Enough at Last by Lynn Venable, and turn to page 111, No Shield from the Dead by Gordon R. Dickson…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Something went wrong… and Ed Fletcher got mixed up in the biggest thing in his life. Adjustment Team by Philip K. Dick.

  • The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts… but those of a frustrated machine are longer–and deadlier! Someday by Isaac Asimov, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    This is one of my favorite stories. As you’re listening ask yourself what movie or movies this Isaac Asimov story may have inspired. Then comment, on the platforms where you can, like Apple Podcasts if you leave a review, Spotify, Podcast Addict, Podbean, and YouTube and let us know what movies you think might have been influenced by today’s story.


    Turn to page 27 in the fourth issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine in August 1956 for, Someday by Isaac Asimov…

  • Halloway stared down at Earth, and his brain tore loose and screamed, Man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars and danger and terror and maybe death. Defense Mech by Ray Bradbury, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

  • Amnesia? Well, maybe—but how and where had he earned that $50,000? Blank? By Randall Garrett, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Thanks to Irma Stolfo on Apple Podcasts Australia who left us a 5 Star review! “Simply the best. Scott your work is outstanding. I love sci-fi now and am especially hooked on these vintage short stories. Quick and easy and so full of character and action. Your narration is pure perfection. Thank you.” Thank you Irma. If you haven’t already left us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts in your country, I hope you will, if you think we deserve it.


    And a special thanks to Patrick McLendon who bought us 3 coffees. Patrick says, “I love hearing these great unheralded stories, and the readings are virtuosic. Thanks, and enjoy a cup o’ Joe.” Thanks Patrick!! What a huge compliment and thanks for the coffee Patrick.

    Today marks the debut of another vintage sci-fi author, Randall Garrett. Garrett was among the most prolific science fiction authors during the 1950s and 1960s with most of his more than 180 short stories during that time. He wrote under a long list of pen names which includes David Gordon, Blake MacKenzie, Seaton McKettrig, Clyde Mitchell, Mark Phillips, Robert Randall, Leonard G. Spencer, S. M. Tenneshaw and Gerald Vance. He was good friends with Robert Silverberg and the two of them wrote many short sci-fi stories together. In fact, this may not actually be Randall Garrett’s debut. He may have written Six Frightened Men with Robert Silverberg but we’re not 100% sure.


    We are sure of one thing, we will be featuring more of his work in the future. The June 1957 issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine was an unusual issue. In its pages were three stories with the same name, kind of. Isaac Asimov wrote a story named Blank! with an exclamation mark which appeared on page 88. Harlan Ellison’s story titled Blank with no punctuation can be found on page 99. And sandwiched in the middle on page 93 is our story, Blank? With a question mark By Randall Garrett…

  • In a future society where murder is almost unheard of, the mysterious death of a young girl in Central Park shocks the public and puzzles investigators. The Akkra Case by Miriam Allen de Ford, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Miriam Allen DeFord has never been on our podcast until today. Born in 1888, in Philadelphia, she is best known for her contributions to science fiction, mystery, and true crime.


    DeFord’s career spanned many decades, during which she produced almost 100 short stories. Her work was featured on Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1958, an episode based on her short story Death Sentence a decade earlier. More than a decade later she was credited on Rod Serling’s Night Gallery for a story she had written, A Death in the Family and she also contributed stories to the TV shows Orson Welles Great Mysteries, The Wide World of Mystery and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour.


    Though she wrote in several genres, DeFord is perhaps best remembered for her contributions to science fiction. She was a part of the science fiction community during its early years, contributing to magazines like Amazing Stories and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.


    Today’s story was published in 1962 when she was 73 years old. Open the pages of Amazing Stories in January of that year to page 114, The Akkra Case by Miriam Allen DeFord…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Amnesia? Well, maybe—but how and where had he earned that $50,000? Blank? By Randall Garrett.

  • A gun is an interesting weapon; it can be hired, of course, and naturally doesn't care who hires it. Something much the same can be said of the gunman, too… Gun For Hire by Mack Reynolds, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine has been published under a number of different titles, starting as Astounding Stories of Super-Science in January 1930. Today’s story can be found in the December 1960 issue of Analog on page 104, Gun For Hire by Mack Reynolds…

  • It's one thing to blow a bubble of glib, journalistic lies. Quite another to have that bubble burst in a nightmarish, green beyond. The Man Who Found Out by Roger D. Aycock, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Thanks to Earp Unpaso who gave us our first 5 Star review on Apple Podcasts Finland.“Absolutely Great. I found this podcast about a year ago and have been a fan ever since then. What makes this so good, is the narrator. He really puts his mind and heart in every episode. He doesn’t just read the stories, he’s really telling them. His pleasant voice brings the story to life. Makes it a pure joy to listen to. Thank you and keep up good work.” Thanks Earp and thanks to you and all our other listeners in Finland, where we have our highest ranking ever at #4!

  • Quintuplets alone would be bad enough, without a census taker who could count them in advance! Second Census by John Victor Peterson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    We’ve done it once again, found an author that we know almost nothing about. We don’t know when or where he was born or when he passed. But John Victor Peterson wrote more than most authors who remain almost unknown. Almost twenty published short stories and one novel, beginning with Martyrs Don't Mind Dying in 1938 and ending with The Amnesic Men in 1959.


    Today’s tale was published in October 1957 in Infinity Science Fiction magazine on page 112, Second Census by John Victor Peterson…

  • Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clark, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Today on the podcast you will hear the very first published story written by then 19 year old Arthur C. Clarke. It’s a story we probably never would have discovered if not for sci-fi aficionado Jesse Willis. In fact, there are many stories you have heard that he has shared with us. He has a database of more than 7,000 pdf files that you can download and enjoy and a lot more too, at https://www.sffaudio.com.


    Your 5 star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts never get old. The latest was written by WillEKY, who says, “My favorite podcast. I love this selection of vintage science fiction stories. They are always interesting and entertaining. Narrator and curator Scott Miller does a good job of balancing his own taste for obscure works with popular demand for stories from bigger name authors. High quality narration from a former television professional. My goal was to listen to every episode before leaving this well-earned 5 star review but I realized that the backlog is so deep and the pace at which Scott produces new stories is so steady that it will be a longtime before I’m caught up.” Thanks WillEKY for your outstanding review.


    Thanks to you we recently became the #1 science fiction podcast in Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. We also achieved the rare status of being #1 for all fiction podcasts as well as the #1 science fiction podcast in Bulgaria at the same time. Thank you for all you do to support, promote, share and listen to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Douglas W. F. Mayer was a science fiction fan in Leeds, England in the 1930s. He was a founder, along with two others, of Chapter 17 of the Science Fiction League, which was the first in the UK. He was the editor of three issues of the UK publication titled “Amateur Science Stories”. And that’s where we will find today’s debut of a then unknown Arthur C. Clarke. On page 9 of Volume 1 No 2 of “Amateur Science Stories”, Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clark…

  • Out of time he came–to steal unpublished stories and leave immortality as his payment. The Unseen Blushers by Alfred Bester, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Bester is back, Alfred Bester that is. We heard from him not that long ago with a terrific tale, Fondly Fahrenheit. If you missed it I highly recommend you give it a listen. The Unseen Blushers is an intriguing time travel story about writers talking about writing, published in Astonishing Stories in June 1942. We will find what we’re looking for on page 84, The Unseen Blushers by Alfred Bester…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, To Kworn the object was a roadblock, threatening his life. But it was also a high road to a magnificent future! On the Fourth Planet by J. F. Bone.

  • If time-travel is possible, then why haven't we been visited by people from the future? But Pete LeFranc found the answer to that… Absolutely No Paradox by Lester Del Rey, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Lester Del Rey was the 11th Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master, the SFWA presented him with the award in 1991. There have only been forty men and women honored as Grand Masters since the award was first given to Robert A. Heinlein in 1975.

  • The Beast of Boredom wasn't a weapon or a bribe, as he thought. But it was the most ingenious trap of all time! The Beast of Boredom by Richard R. Smith, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Thanks to Tif Love who bought us a coffee and says, “I listen to your podcast, and absolutely love it. So I just listened to “All the Girls were Nude” and I’m pretty sure this was well-known in some circles by the 80s, because when I was a child I would browse the back of dirty magazines in the grocery store (while moms shopped lol) and they were always advertising X-ray glasses. I found a lot the stories and ads more interesting than the nudity, I was different. Hilariously this story was probably where those ads got their start!” Thanks Tif for buying us a coffee and your interesting comment!

Did you know that you can leave a comment on Apple Podcasts even if you listen to us somewhere else? You can, and we would appreciate your 5 star review if you think we deserve it. Reviews encourage people who have never listened to give us a try.


    Richard R. Smith has been on the podcast before with Alien Equivalent. Todays’s story appears in the April 1958 issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine on page 46, The Beast of Boredom by Richard R. Smith…

  • Queer creatures! They fled the life-giving sun and hid where even tin froze solid! The Time of Cold by Mary Carlson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    If Mary Carlson was a singer we would call her a one hit wonder. As an author we don't have a catchy phrase to describe her but we do know she is exactly why we created The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. A woman we know nothing about, except for this one story. A woman with words that deserve to be immortalized.


    You will find Mary Carlson's only published sci-fi short story, that we know of, on page 34 in If Worlds of Science Fiction in September 1963, The Time of Cold by Mary Carlson…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The story of a dictator who sought to hold power by allying himself psychically with a powerful beast. The Beast-Helper by Frank Belknap Long.
