This is without a doubt the most unusual episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, featuring 8 short sci-fi stories for you by Fredric Brown, Ray Bradbury, Harry Fletcher, Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
A few weeks ago Blind Voyager said and I quote, “It would be fun to do an episode of several short, very short sci-fi stories." Thanks for your request Blind Voyager and today’s episode would never have happened if not for you!
I came across several interesting short stories months ago but it’s tough to sell a 4 minute audiobook and the thought of a super short podcast didn’t appeal to me either. However, when we got the request from Blind Voyager the light bulb went on and I began planning today’s podcast.
After you have a chance to listen, and you will want to listen all the way to the end, let us know what you think by commenting and tell us if we should do another episode of the The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast with several super short sci-fi stories. You can always send us an email, [email protected].
Our first story today can be found in the June 1960 edition of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine, "Earthmen Bearing Gifts" by Fredric Brown…
That’s "Earthmen Bearing Gifts" by Fredric Brown… up next another story by Brown which first appeared in Fantastic Science Fiction Stories in August 1960, "The House"…
That’s "The House" by Fredric Brown and now our last Fredric Brown story for today, from Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in 1954, "Experiment"…
Let’s go back to October 1944, you could buy Super Science Stories for 15 cents and if you did you would have found, "And Then—The Silence" by Ray Bradbury...
In 1953 Harry Walton wrote a short story that was published in the March/April 1953 edition of Fantastic using the pen name Harry Fletcher, "A Star Falls on Broadway"...
If you’d picked up a copy of the April 1942 Astounding Science Fiction you would have discovered this super short story by Isaac Asimov, "Time Pussy"...
The next two stories by Philip K. Dick didn’t appear in a science fiction magazine when they were written. And they weren’t credited to Philip K. Dick. These stories were published in the Berkeley Daily Gazette. Dick was only 13 years old when he wrote The Black Arts which appeared in the newspaper on Wednesday September 16th, 1942 and credited to Philip Dick. "The Black Arts"...
Philip Dick was a little older when this next story appeared in the newspaper, he had just turned 16, when the Berkeley Daily Gazette published "Santa’s Return" on Tuesday January 4th 1944.
Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast… Conger agreed to kill a stranger he had never seen. But he would make no mistakes because he had the stranger's skull under his arm. "The Skull" by request by Philip K. Dick.
That’s next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
