https://lostscifi.com - Science Fiction Grand Masters a 17 hour audiobook from the greatest vintage sci-fi writers for only $7.97. Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Clifford D. Simak, Fritz Leiber, Lester Del Rey, Frederik Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Harry Harrison, Damon Knight, Jack Vance, Poul Anderson and Robert Silverberg. Jeff Engel, devoted civil servant with a photographic memory found a pen and tried to return it to its rightful owner, but somehow he followed the man into another world and three spacemen were warned before they landed on a strange planet. There were no cities, no signs of life, what could possibly go wrong? That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, featuring at least one lost sci-fi short story from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, in every episode. It was early April 1968 and a little 8 year old boy in Sioux City, Iowa was driving his parents crazy, begging them to take him to the Orpheum theater downtown to see a movie unlike anything he had ever seen before. More than 30 minutes after the movie starts somebody or something is in a field, somebody is riding horses and shooting rifles, but clever editing doesn’t show their faces, so you don’t know who or what! When the star of the movie is on the ground trying to avoid capture, 32 minutes and 11 seconds after this soon to be multi billion dollar movie franchise debuts, that’s when you see them! Apes! Planet of the apes starring Charlton Heston is what got me hooked on sci-fi. After he’s captured Heston doesn’t speak for almost 30 minutes, when he finally does speak, saying, “take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!” The apes were shocked to hear a man speaking! I was only 8 and that’s 54 years ago, but I remember that scene and that movie like it was yesterday, and I’ve probably watched it at least 20 times. I’ve seen all 9 of the movies in the franchise, spanning 49 years, in the theater. Planet of the Apes is by far my favorite sci-fi franchise. What’s yours?

https://lostscifi.com - Science Fiction Grand Masters a 17 hour audiobook from the greatest vintage sci-fi writers for only $7.97. Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Clifford D. Simak, Fritz Leiber, Lester Del Rey, Frederik Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Harry Harrison, Damon Knight, Jack Vance, Poul Anderson and Robert Silverberg. This author lived a pretty extraordinary life. He was hired by legendary Hollywood director Alfred Hitchcock to write a screenplay for what would become one of Hitchcock’s greatest movies. It was one of several screenplays written by our featured author. Actors who starred in projects he wrote and developed for the big screen and Television include Richard Chamberlain, F. Murray Abraham, Ben Johnson, Jerry Orbach, Robby Benson, Raquel Welch, Burt Reynolds, Yul Brynner, Tom Skerritt , Kirk Douglas, Kim Novak, Barbara Rush, Walter Matthau, Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, and Suzanne Pleshette. Wow! If You’re a movie buff you may have already guessed that the Hitchcock classic he wrote the screenplay for was, The Birds. Before Hitchcock and Hollywood our author served on a destroyer in the Pacific in the Navy during World War II. He wrote more than 139 novels over 53 years! That’s an average of a little more than 2 and a half novels a year for more than half a century. Born Salvatore Albert Lombino, he legally changed his name to Evan Hunter in 1952, but before he did, he sold a short science fiction story to If, Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine. In the magazine, which had made its debut two months earlier in March 1952, he is credited with writing “Welcome, Martians!” As S.A. Lombino which as fas I can tell was one of only a handful of times he used his real name. So why the name change? Well, as the story goes an editor once told him his Italian heritage might stop him from achieving great success, so SA Lombino became Evan Hunter. Oh, and if you think you recognize the name Evan Hunter, you’re probably right. Lombino took a number of jobs in the early 1950’s to pay the bills while attempting to get his writing career off the ground. One of them led to a novel, which became a movie, starring Glenn Ford, Sidney Pointier, Vic Morrow and Anne Francis. He spent 17 days as a teacher at the Bronx Vocational High School in September 1950. That experience led to his 6th novel titled The Blackboard Jungle which became the movie of the same name starring the previously mentioned star studded cast. Lombino had several pen names John Abbott, Curt Cannon, Hunt Collins, Ezra Hannon, Richard Marsten and then there’s the name he used most often, Ed McBain! As McBain he wrote the “87th Precinct” crime series. Once again his novels made their way to Television. In 1961 and 62 NBC aired a police drama called “87th Precinct”. He started writing for television in 1956 with a teleplay for “The Kaiser Aluminum Hour” which aired on NBC in 1956 and 57 and he wrote the story for two episodes of “Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer” a syndicated TV show, two years later in 1958 and 59. Evan Hunter was actually hired by Alfred Hitchcock twice and fired once. Fresh off the success of The Birds Hunter was hired to write the screenplay for Hitchcocks followup film Marnie. Hunter had challenges writing the rape scene and so he was fired, not by Hitchcock directly but by his assistant Peggy Robertson. Hunter, a heavy smoker for decades developed a series of health challenges and died in 2005 at the age of 78 in Weston, Connecticut about 50 miles from where he was born in New York City.

Simak, Fritz Leiber, Lester Del Rey, Frederik Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Harry Harrison, Damon Knight, Jack Vance, Poul Anderson and Robert Silverberg. Alan E. Nourse Short Sci Fi Audiobook The author of today’s short sci-fi story had an interesting life. Born on August 11th, 1928, in Des Moines Iowa, after graduating high school he went to Rutgers University, two years in the Navy, then on to the University of Pennsylvania to become a doctor. He helped pay for his medical degree by writing science fiction for magazines. In a 1952 issue of Other Worlds he said he started reading science fiction while at Rutgers and was reading sci-fi like a man possessed. Saying he ended up being the most incurable type of science fiction addict, the kind that has to write it as well as read it! He wrote more than 30 short stories and more than a dozen novels. If dating, getting married, college, medical school, the US Navy, writing for science fiction magazines and publishing his first novel weren’t enough in the first 5 years of the 1950’s, he also found the time to make 4 appearances on television as an actor, including one during the 8-year run of the The Philco Television Playhouse. And if that wasn’t enough, the Good Doctor had a column in Good Housekeeping Magazine. In 1965 he wrote a nonfiction book titled “Intern” under the pseudonym Doctor X. His legal name? Alan Edward Nourse. He’s perhaps better known as Alan E. Nourse In the first episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we mentioned that Philip K. Dick's Sci-Fi Novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” became the movie Blade Runner. But did you know that the movie got its name, not the content, the name and name only from the 1974 novel written by Alan E Nourse The Blade Runner? 3 minutes and 7 seconds after the credits for Blade Runner start, you’ll see these words on the screen, With Thanks to Alan E Nourse for the use of the title Blade Runner. It really is 3 minutes and 7 seconds, yea, I’m weird like that. Nourse was married for decades to the girl he was dating in college. He died 8 days after their 40th anniversary in 1992.

Simak, Fritz Leiber, Lester Del Rey, Frederik Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Harry Harrison, Damon Knight, Jack Vance, Poul Anderson and Robert Silverberg. Hi, and welcome to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast featuring at least one lost sci-fi short story from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, in every episode. I’m your host Scott Miller, audiobook narrator and lover of science fiction. Last week we heard from two authors who produced few works and we were unable to discover anything about them. However we know more about the author we’ll feature on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast today. He was born in 1915 in Spooner, Wisconsin, just 6 years after the tiny town became a city. He wrote a story in 1940 and one in 1941 and then nothing for 12 years. In 1953 he produced 4 short stories, then 23 more in 1954 and 19 in 1955 when the story we’ll share with you was written. He was published throughout the 1950’s, then stopped once again for 8 years with one short story in 1967 and one in 1968. In my past I was a television news reporter and I would love to have interviewed this man, but he passed away in 1979. Today’s episode of The Lost Sci-Fi podcast features author Winston Marks. He was also known as Win Kinney, Winston March, Win Marks, Winston K. Marks and Ken Winney. Marks has become a favorite of mine and you’ll hear from him many times in the future including, but not limited to, So They Baked A Cake, The Water Eater, Slay-Ride, The Mind Digger, Breeder Reaction, Until Life Do Us Part and many more.

Simak, Fritz Leiber, Lester Del Rey, Frederik Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Harry Harrison, Damon Knight, Jack Vance, Poul Anderson and Robert Silverberg. Today on the lost sci-fi podcast we’ll feature an author born in Colorado Springs, Colorado on June 20th, 1911. Our featured author is a pretty talented guy. He studied writing at the University of Colorado in Boulder and drawing, painting and lithography at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. His art was so good that some of his paintings of Indian ceremonial dances are part of the permanent collection at the Denver Art Museum. Keeping true to his Colorado roots he worked as an assistant curator of the Colorado State Historical Museum during the 1940s. He was also talented in the literary arts, having written over 200 stories and articles, poems, essays and one novel. In 1948 he published a chapbook, The Sphinx Child. What is a chapbook you ask? It’s a small collection of poems. From Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in April 1955 enjoy this lost sci-fi short story written by Stanley Mullen. Next week we’ll go back to 1954 and listen to a story by an author I can’t find anything about. He wasn’t prolific, not famous but the story we have on tap for next week is one of my favorites.

Science Fiction Audiobook written by Bjarne Kirchhoff - narrated by Scott Miller The men of the Norgan System had a tough decision to make concerning the planet in A93. Yet there was no hesitation. Can you blame them? Day of Wrath by Bjarne Kirchhoff... that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. As we begin our 2nd year of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we do so with incredible momentum. More people around the world are listening to us in more countries than ever before. We thank you for that, you are sharing the podcast on social media which helps us attract even more listeners. Thank you. And we’re getting more emails and comments too. This comes to us from a country where we are experiencing tremendous growth. “Greetings from Israel, I am a candid listener to the podcast, and I wish to congratulate the great narrator with his acting skills. I greatly enjoy the stories' introductions about the authors and their life. I suggest the narrator indicate in the introduction the reason for picking that specific story from the others. Especially I enjoy stories that I find relevant/correlate to our times. My favorite is #22 Paradise Planet by Richard S. Shaver. I find it corresponding with the pandemic/cure we had last year. And #016: Sales Pitch by Philip K. Dick which corresponds with the coming AI technology. Blessings and greetings. Dudi” Thank you Dudi for your email and your kind thoughtful comments. I’d love to say that there’s a grand plan behind the selection of one story over another but that isn’t typically the case. Oftentimes I get a request for a certain story or author. One of the reasons I started narrating these stories is that many of them had never been available as audiobooks. Being a sci-fi fan, I want to change that so everyone can enjoy them. When I found today’s story and started doing research, I could find nothing else written by Bjarne Kirchhoff. In fact, I couldn’t find out anything about Bjarne Kirchhoff. And that is the reason I narrated it and the reason it’s on podcast. Starting on page 69 from Planet Stories magazine in the summer of 1948, Day of Wrath by Bjarne Kirchhoff… Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A Science Fiction Grand Master returns… The first great rocket flight into space, bearing intrepid pioneers to the Moon. The world's ecstasy flared into red mob-hate when President Stanley canceled the flight. How did he get that way? Rocket Summer by Ray Bradbury.

Bold and ruthless, he was famed throughout the System as a big-game hunter. From the firedrakes of Mercury to the ice-crawlers of Pluto, he'd slain them all. But his trophy-room lacked one item; and now Riordan swore he'd bag the forbidden game that roamed the red deserts ... a Martian! Duel on Syrtis by Poul Anderson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. Today’s episode of the podcast marks the debut of Poul Anderson. Anderson was no ordinary science fiction author. He has been called ''one of the five or six most important writers to appear during the science-fiction publishing boom of the decade following the end of World War II.'' To call him prolific would be a vast understatement. His wife, Karen, said she did not know how many books he wrote, saying. ''We lost count after 100.'' As for short stories, I stopped counting at 150. Poul William Anderson was born on November 25th, 1926, in Bristol, Pennsylvania, to Anton and Astrid Anderson. His father had anglicized the spelling of the family name, originally Andersen. He told his wife she could name their first child, and she chose Poul. His father died in a car crash when Poul was 11. His mother took him and his brother first to Denmark, then to Maryland, and finally to a 40-acre farm in southern Minnesota. While growing up in Minnesota Poul found himself spending all of his tiny allowance on subscriptions to science fiction magazines. And so, his love of sci-fi began. A former president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, he won numerous awards, including three Nebula and seven Hugo awards. In 1997 the association named him a Grandmaster and he was inducted into the Science Fiction Fantasy Hall of Fame. He had a few short science fiction stories published in the 1940s, but his career really took off in the 1950s when more than 70 of his stories appeared in Astounding Science Fiction, Super Science Stories, Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy and other publications. Today’s story appeared in March 1951 in Planet Stories magazine. Let’s turn to page 5 for Duel on Syrtis by Poul Anderson… Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, After space, there was always one more river to cross ... the far side of hatred and murder! The Hated by Frederik Pohl. That’s next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

More space on the cover is devoted to author Mark Ganes and his feature story Evil Out of Onzar than any other story that appeared in the magazine. Who is Mark Ganes? I don’t know. I couldn’t find any information about him, nor could I find any other story that he’d ever written. The cover lists five of the seven authors in the issue. One of the guys who wasn’t mentioned. A relatively unknown author, at the time, named Philip K. Dick. Turn to page 46 for The Gun… Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, There was a reason why his scripts were smash hits—they had realism.

I’m your host Scott Miller, audiobook narrator and lover of science fiction. When I decided to narrate these sci-fi short stories from the 1940s, 50s and 60s with some from the 30s and one from 1899, I had no idea what story to choose first. Believe it or not, the story you are about to hear was my first selection, a completely random selection. If you’re old enough you may be surprised to discover that my first choice was written by a man whose work you have enjoyed on the big screen for 40 years! His 1968 novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” became the 1982 movie Blade Runner, Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. A 1966 short story he wrote showed up on the big screen as the 1990 smash hit Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone. Other box office blockbusters based on his works are Minority Report directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, and 2011’s The Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Amazon produced 4 seasons of “The Man In The High Castle”, based on his novel with the same name, set in a parallel universe where the Germans and Japanese win World War II and rule the world. Sadly, he wasn’t alive to see these incredibly successful movies. Philip K Dick passed away in March 1982, 3 months before Blade Runner debuted. He was only 53. Philip Kindred Dick was a prolific American science fiction writer. He wrote 44 novels and somewhere around 120 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines like the one we’re going to share with you in today’s episode of the lost sci-fi podcast. His work, although cherished by many, received very little acclaim for about 10 years until he wrote the novel The Man In The High Castle. Todays lost sci-fi short story first appeared in December 1953 in “Science Fiction Adventures” Magazine which cost 35 cents.
