Henry Slesar makes his debut on the podcast today. Born in Brooklyn in 1927, Slesar launched his 21 year career as a copywriter at the age of 17, right out of high school at the prestigious advertising agency Young and Rubicam. Some say Slesar coined the term “coffee break”.
Slesar experienced a lot of success in his lifetime. He wrote hundreds of short stories, over 40 in 1957 alone. Alfred Hitchcock hired him to write for Alfred Hitchcock Presents. In 1974, he won an Emmy Award as the head writer for CBS Daytime's The Edge of Night where he was the head writer for 16 years.
From the pages of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine in October 1956, specifically page 37, comes the strange story we’ve all been waiting for, A Message From Our Sponsor by Henry Slesar…
Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, If after a great struggle, the East were to prevail over the world, what sort of civilization would be imposed by the victors? Would it be an oriental version of the societies we know–or might the great old culture be superimposed upon what was left of Western technology? The Turning Wheel by Philip K. Dick. That’s tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
