    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…

    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, If Joe Mulloy was perfect—and he was—then beyond his perfection here only could be… Super Joe Mulloy by Scott F. Grenville.

    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.

    His first story appeared on page 94 of Thrilling Wonder Stories Magazine in August 1953. Metamorphosis by Mike Curry…

    The Man Who Killed the World by Ray Cummings Feb 18, 2024
    Show notes

    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…

    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Barstac found it hard to believe that this girl had helped him escape—until he learned her reason. Moon of Memory by Bryce Walton.

    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…

    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 Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson Feb 06, 2024
    Show notes

    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…

    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, 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.

    The Sexual Morality Act was fierce to buck, but the Algolian sex surrogate was ... er ... even fiercer!… Accept No Substitutes by Robert Sheckley, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

    Robert Sheckley has been on our podcast twice previously with Watchbird and Seventh Victim. He’s an under appreciated author and one of my favorites.

    Today’s story first appeared in Infinity Science Fiction Magazine in March 1958. On the cover of the magazine it says, “She was made for love, a rowdy story by Robert Sheckley.” Let’s turn to page 46 for, Accept No Substitutes by Robert Sheckley…
