The Tarks were attacking, the bosomy princess was clinging to him in terror, and Harold Smith realized he was at the end of his plot-line. What a dilemma! And what an opportunity!! The Blonde From Barsoom by Robert F. Young, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

Special thanks to Josh Jennings who bought us $25 worth of coffee! Josh had this to say, “Your podcast has - in the course of the week or so since I discovered it completely at random - become one of my favorites. As a sci-fi fan (and writer), and a literary audiophile, I’m getting all the itches scratched at once! Your narration is a downright pleasure - your voice has hints of the great George Guidall and that god among audiobook readers, the late Frank Muller, and yet is its own sublime signature unto itself. Thank you for doing what you do, and I hope you continue for many years to come. And now, enough from me…back to the podcast.”

Josh we are so thankful for you, the coffee and the comment! To even be mentioned in the same sentence with two of the greatest audiobook narrators of all time, George Guidall and Frank Muller is as great a compliment as a narrator could ever hope to receive. I am truly honored by your kindness and will work hard to live up to such high praise. Thank you Josh.

This is the first story we’ve ever narrated by Robert F. Young. Young was born in June 1915 in tiny Silver Creek New York on the shore of Lake Erie. The population of this tiny little town when he was born was about the same as it is today, 2,600. The little-known author wrote for more than 30 years and he wrote until he died in 1986. He penned almost 200 short stories and is perhaps best known for the story, “The Dandelion Girl”. We narrated this story because it’s different, as you are about to find out, and because we are always looking for authors that we haven’t featured previously.

Our story can be found in the July 1962 issue of Amazing Stories magazine, open your copy to page 62 for, The Blonde From Barsoom by Robert F. Young…
