The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

Factory workers race to meet impossible wartime production demands while hidden enemies move through the endless machinery of a spinning city in space.

That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Basil Wells takes us back to the Golden Age of science fiction with a strange journey high above the Earth, where industry has escaped the ground entirely and danger waits in the clouds. From page 68 in the September 1941 issue of Astonishing Stories, here’s Factory In The Sky by Basil Wells…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A silent invader hangs over New York while entire buildings and war machines vanish without a sound. As governments prepare for surrender, one desperate idea forces a handful of men to walk straight toward a weapon no one has survived. The World In The Balance by J.P. Marshall.

For one hundred and fifty years, Columbus Norton has lived untouched by disease while the world outside studies him like a miracle trapped behind glass. But when a single visitor awakens a longing no experiment can control, the man who helped humanity live longer must decide whether freedom is worth dying for. The Incubator Man by Wallace West. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Andrew sent us an email recently: “Loving all the new stories. I’ve noticed there’s been a new episode every day for the last several weeks. Please keep it up!” Thanks for noticing, Andrew. Our goal is to keep releasing a brand-new story every day for as long as possible.

If you have requests, comments, or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you. Send an email to [email protected].

This is the first time we’ve featured a story by author Wallace West. Wallace George West was born in Walnut Hills, Kentucky, in 1900. Between 1927 and 1967 he published more than 60 short stories and four novels.

Today’s story was only his second published work. It appeared in Weird Tales magazine in October 1928 on page 535, The Incubator Man by Wallace West…

A lonely wanderer escapes years of darkness and silence only to find that the world beyond his refuge recoils from him in terror. Every step toward warmth and companionship pulls him closer to a revelation that no living soul could endure unchanged. The Outsider by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

H. P. Lovecraft returns to the podcast. A man who had a lasting impact on science fiction but who died penniless and in relative obscurity.

We will find our story on page 449 in the April 1926 issue of Weird Tales Magazine, The Outsider by H. P. Lovecraft…

A desperate young executive discovers that his office safe has become a doorway to the future, and every exchange leaves him richer than before. But when impossible money starts circulating through New York banks, Peter Merton realizes the people on the other side may not care what happens to him once their experiment is finished. Peter Merton’s Private Mint by Harlan Ellison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

You can never have enough Harlan Ellison. Unfortunately, very few of his stories have entered the public domain, and after today’s episode there is only one more Ellison story left for us to feature. You’ll hear that final story in the coming weeks.

If you went searching for a Harlan Ellison story in the October 1956 issue of Fantastic, you wouldn’t find one. Unless, of course, you knew that Ellison sometimes used the pen name Lee Archer. Open your copy of Fantastic to page 74, Peter Merton’s Private Mint by Harlan Ellison…
