Über den Podcast
The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast restores and narrates forgotten and underrated vintage science fiction short stories spanning from the 1700s through the mid-1960s. Each episode features a professionally narrated classic drawn from early speculative fiction, pioneering 19th-century tales, and the pulp magazine era that shaped modern science fiction.
Released several times a week, the podcast explores timeless speculative ideas—alien encounters, artificial intelligence, time travel, dystopian futures, and the human cost of progress—through the works of legendary authors such as Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, H. G. Wells, Harlan Ellison, and many others.
Now in its fourth year and with more than 650 episodes released, The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has reached #1 on Apple Podcasts in 43 countries, reflecting a worldwide appetite for classic science fiction storytelling. Each restored short story gives modern listeners direct access to the imagination and bold ideas that shaped the genre from its earliest days through the Golden Age.
Narrated by Scott Miller, each episode serves as an accessible entry point into science fiction’s rich literary history—bringing the wonders, warnings, and possibilities of vintage sci-fi to a new generation of listeners.

The most powerful man on Earth has a secret so dangerous that even his closest protector is forbidden to discover it. But when the truth finally emerges, the world may already be beyond saving. The Little Giant by Jackson Barrow. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
There are two reasons we decided to narrate today’s story. First, it’s very different from most of the stories we’ve shared. Second, its author, Jackson Barrow, is credited with only two published stories, and we know almost nothing about him. One source claims his real name was Louis Weinstein, but we haven’t been able to confirm that. And that’s all we could find.

Thomas Olney has spent years longing for something beyond the safe, predictable world he knows. When he finally reaches a place where impossible visitors cross the threshold, he may discover that a man can return home without bringing all of himself back. The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts US, this from sinisteracyd, “Sir you have a great voice and I absolutely devoured these stories.”
Thanks Sinister, we appreciate the review and the 5 stars.
H. P. Lovecraft achieved little financial success during his lifetime, earning modest payments for stories that would eventually establish him as one of the most influential horror writers in history. His influence extended to numerous other authors who continued to expand the strange fictional universe he created long after his death.
From the October 1931 issue of Weird Tales on page 394, The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft…

A brilliant engineer discovers that the visitors who hired him have already murdered one man, and he may be next. His only chance is to outsmart criminals from thousands of years in the future, but the woman he has fallen in love with may be the one person he cannot save. The Gun Runners by Ralph Williams. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Ralph Williams didn’t write a lot of science fiction, but I’ve loved narrating the stories he published between 1940 and 1959. He’s one of those authors who leaves you wishing there were more.
We first introduced Ralph Williams to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast about seven months ago with Cat and Mouse, and I’m delighted to bring you another of his stories today.

A Revolutionary War hero discovers that the America he helped create has become a place he barely recognizes. When his descendants proudly reveal what they stand for, one disgusted soldier may have the power to change everything. The Ordeal of Colonel Johns by George H. Smith. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
George H. Smith made his debut on the podcast a month and a half ago with The Watchers. He is back today with a bit of history.
This wonderfully fun story imagines a scientific invention that can bring historical figures back to life. But when a patriotic organization decides to honor one of its most distinguished ancestors, the celebration doesn’t go quite as planned.
Let’s go back to the year 1954, The New York Giants swept the Cleveland Indians that year to win the World Series. Willie Mays made The “Catch” in game 1 of the series, at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Four years later the New York Giants relocated to San Francisco.
And the June 1954 issue of If World of Science Fiction featured a time travel story on page 84, The Ordeal of Colonel Johns by George H. Smith…

Brent Dalgreen traveled to the Moon and nearly died trying to capture its alien beauty on canvas. Now, back on Earth, he discovers another artist has accomplished what he couldn’t—and he’s determined to find out how. An Artist’s Life by Harry Harrison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Before Harry Harrison became a successful science fiction author, he made his living as a professional artist and illustrator. After serving in the Army Air Force during World War II, Harrison studied art at Hunter College in New York and worked as a commercial illustrator. He also drew comic books, collaborating with legendary comic book artist Wally Wood.
Harrison began publishing science fiction in 1951, so when he wrote today’s tale just two years later, he was drawing on years of firsthand experience as an artist. It’s an interesting connection, especially considering how much of this tale revolves around a painter’s frustration with his own work and his determination to understand another artist’s extraordinary talent.
First published in September 1953, in the third and final issue of Rocket Stories, beginning on page 142, An Artist’s Life by Harry Harrison…

Knucklebone Smith has spent his entire life searching for the one thing he was born to do, but nobody believes he’s good for anything. On the frozen surface of Pluto, a desperate emergency may finally give him the chance to prove everyone wrong. The Pluto Lamp by Charles A. Stearns. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
This is the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast debut for author Charles A. Stearns. He published about 25 science fiction short stories between 1953 and 1959.
He also wrote westerns and later had fiction published in The Saturday Evening Post, bringing his total to at least 37 short stories, but he never published a science fiction novel.
In 2023, Wildside Press brought his science fiction tales together in a collection devoted entirely to his work, introducing a new generation of readers to an author whose fiction had largely disappeared from view.
Published in the Fall 1954 issue of Planet Stories magazine on page 56, The Pluto Lamp by Charles A. Stearns…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Brent Dalgreen has risked his life trying to paint something no Earthbound artist has ever truly seen. When another painter somehow captures that impossible viewpoint, Brent follows the clue toward an answer that may carry him far beyond the world he knows. An Artist’s Life by Harry Harrison.

As a deadly disease threatens millions, one forgotten man must live with the knowledge that history has honored the wrong person. Synthetic Hero by Erik Fennel.

Can you see the egg all over my face? Yikes, our last episode The Holes and John Smith by Edward W. Ludwig was a mess. Sorry about that, it’s fixed now. You may have to refresh you browser or podcast app to get it to play properly.
Special thanks to Deacon Jim who bought us 20 coffees. “Scott, may God bring you consolation with the passing of your mother. Thank you for using the gift of your voice and passion to bring such joy to your listeners. Your show has been a wonderful diversion, so often providing me a respite-on-demand from that occasional stressful and overwhelming day. Thanks for all the resets. May God bless you and your family.”
Thank you Deacon Jim.
If you would like to buy us a coffee there is a link in the description.
Buy Me a Coffee - https://lostscifi.com/coffeeErik Fennel has appeared on the podcast just once before, more than four years ago, when we featured his story Madmen of Mars.
We’re always searching for science fiction stories that offer something a little out of the ordinary, and today’s story certainly fits the bill.
Today’s tale comes from the same issue of Planet Stories that featured Against the Stone Beasts by James Blish, which we enjoyed narrating not long ago. Blish’s adventure opened the magazine, and today we turn to its final selection. From page 96 of the Fall 1948 issue of Planet Stories, Synthetic Hero by Erik Fennel…

Can you see the egg all over my face? Yikes, our last episode The Holes and John Smith by Edward W. Ludwig was a mess. Sorry about that, it’s fixed now. You may have to refresh you browser or podcast app to get it to play properly.
Special thanks to Deacon Jim who bought us 20 coffees. “Scott, may God bring you consolation with the passing of your mother. Thank you for using the gift of your voice and passion to bring such joy to your listeners. Your show has been a wonderful diversion, so often providing me a respite-on-demand from that occasional stressful and overwhelming day. Thanks for all the resets. May God bless you and your family.”
Thank you Deacon Jim.

Erik Fennel has appeared on the podcast just once before, more than four years ago, when we featured his story Madmen of Mars.
We’re always searching for science fiction stories that offer something a little out of the ordinary, and today’s story certainly fits the bill.
Today’s tale comes from the same issue of Planet Stories that featured Against the Stone Beasts by James Blish, which we enjoyed narrating not long ago. Blish’s adventure opened the magazine, and today we turn to its final selection. From page 96 of the Fall 1948 issue of Planet Stories, Synthetic Hero by Erik Fennel…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Knucklebone Smith has spent his entire life searching for the one thing he was born to do, but nobody believes he’s good for anything. On the frozen surface of Pluto, a desperate emergency may finally give him the chance to prove everyone wrong. The Pluto Lamp by Charles A. Stearns.

A brilliant musician claims he has fallen through a hole in time, but his new friends are more interested in keeping him employed than believing his extraordinary story. As his obsession with finding a way home grows, the struggling musicians face the possibility of losing the one man who can save their careers. The Holes and John Smith by Edward W. Ludwig. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Author Edward W. Ludwig returns to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast today for his third story. Previously, we’ve shared Inheritance and Spacemen Die at Home. Born in Tracy, California, in 1920, Ludwig served in the Coast Guard during World War II, including time in the Philippines. He was also a professional piano player, and his wife, Chris, was a folk singer.
From page 109 of the June 1954 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction, The Holes and John Smith by Edward W. Ludwig…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A celebrated space pioneer becomes humanity’s greatest hero, but the story the world believes conceals a devastating deception. As a deadly disease threatens millions, one forgotten man must live with the knowledge that history has honored the wrong person. Synthetic Hero by Erik Fennel.

Shownotes
A race that cannot feel physical pain faces surprisingly terrifying danger. When an alien civilization begins to crumble under human cruelty, a boxing manager and his heavyweight champion must confront an enemy who knows exactly how to hurt them. The Protector by Betsy Curtis. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Today, we’re introducing another author to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast for the very first time, Betsy Curtis.
Born Elizabeth Curtis in September, 1917, in Toledo, Ohio, her science fiction writing career began in 1950, when her first published story, Divine Right, appeared in the summer issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.
What’s interesting about Betsy Curtis is that she wasn’t a particularly prolific science fiction author. She’s credited with about 16 published science fiction stories between 1950 and 1973, and she never published a full-length novel.
But she certainly made an impression.
In 1969, her story The Steiger Effect, received a Hugo Award nomination for Best Short Story.
Curtis was also deeply involved in science fiction fandom. She was an accomplished costume designer whose creations won awards at World Science Fiction Convention masquerades. In fact, in 1959, she and her family won a group costume award for their portrayal of non-Euclidean geometry. That’s certainly one of the more unusual costume ideas I’ve come across!
From page 75 of the February 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction The Protector by Betsy Curtis…

A mysterious blue crystal possesses a power that could change the course of a devastating global war. But turning a deadly discovery into humanity’s last hope will demand more from one young scientist than he ever imagined. The Crystal Ray by Raymond Z. Gallun. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Raymond Z. Gallun returns to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast for just the second time. His first appearance was about a year and a half ago with Return of a Legend, an adventure set on Mars.
Gallun enjoyed a remarkable writing career that spanned more than 60 years, beginning in 1929. During that time, he published more than 100 short stories and became a familiar name to readers of science fiction magazines.
Today’s tale was his very first published work, written when he was just 16 years old. Even at that young age, Gallun had an extraordinary imagination, dreaming up futuristic aircraft, devastating weapons, and scientific discoveries that could change the course of a war.
Nearly a century later, we get to hear where it all began. Published in the fifth of what would become only 11 issues of Air Wonder Stories in November 1929 on page 452, The Crystal Ray by Raymond Z. Gallun…

A forgotten civilization struggles to understand why the stars no longer match its ancient maps, while a stranded sailor discovers that its inhabitants cannot even see him. But the island’s most terrifying secret waits inside a temple, where a desperate people have turned to something far more dangerous than their calculations. The Uncharted Isle by Clark Ashton Smith. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Clark Ashton Smith has appeared on the podcast four times before, and his first story, The City of Singing Flame, remains one of my personal favorites. As you listen to today’s story, you may notice some interesting similarities between the two.
First published in 1930 and reprinted more than 30 times since, we turn to page 605 of the November 1930 issue of Weird Tales for The Uncharted Isle by Clark Ashton Smith…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A mysterious blue crystal possesses a power that could change the course of a devastating global war. But turning a deadly discovery into humanity’s last hope will demand more from one young scientist than he ever imagined. The Crystal Ray by Raymond Z. Gallun.

Moxon’s Master by Ambrose Bierce
A brilliant mind pushes a forbidden idea too far, testing whether intelligence can exist without flesh or conscience. When reason gives way to rivalry, the cost of curiosity becomes terrifyingly personal …

What’s fascinating about this story is that it was first published in the San Francisco Examiner on April 16, 1899. Ambrose Bierce was writing about intelligent machines more than a century before artificial intelligence became part of everyday conversation.
He was born in Ohio in 1842, fought for the Union during the Civil War, became a famous newspaper columnist and author, earning the nickname “Bitter Bierce” for his sharp wit and often merciless criticism.
There’s another fascinating detail about Bierce himself. In 1913, at the age of 71, he traveled into revolutionary Mexico and disappeared. No one knows for sure what happened to him.
