Being the youngest boy with 4 sisters, it was the best reading and watching stories with my mom… who spoiled me till the day she passed. I think of her every time I listen to your show, the narrator is incredible! Keep up the great work!! Jealously thinking of Costa Rica from the balmy 11° chill in South Buffalo New York , Been spreading the word, your new listener & fan Matthew J Sr.” Thank you Matthew! We appreciate your review and you spreading the word. Oh and by the way it’s 80 degrees here in Costa Rica and I’m heading to the pool as soon as I finish this episode. Is that wrong for me to say that? Another way you can support the podcast is by buying us a coffee. Someone who chose to remain anonymous recently bought us 3 coffee’s. “Greetings from Greece. Though not a single one of your selections seems obscure to me, since I am an avid fiction reader, your effort is precious. So, often enough I prefer to listen to a story instead of reading it from an anthology. Amazing presentation. Cheers.” Thanks! We appreciate you someone, and we appreciate every listener in every country no matter how you choose to support us. We’re glad you’re here. We love discovering authors that most people have never heard of. William Shedenhelm is one of those we cannot find anything about. Other than the fact that he wrote this story that appeared on page 93 in Planet Stories magazine in the Fall 1950 issue.

A Long Way Back by Ben BovaHe was sent into orbit to assemble the machine that would save what was left of civilization—but finishing the job may mean never coming home. With his oxygen running thin and the world turning silently below him, one decision will decide who controls humanity’s future. A Long Way Back by Ben Bova. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Before he became one of the most respected names in modern hard science fiction, Ben Bova was a kid growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, born November 8, 1932, discovering the future one pulp magazine at a time. Like many writers of his generation, Bova fell in love with science fiction as a reader first. That early fascination stayed with him. He studied journalism at Temple University, served in the U.S. Army, and eventually stepped into publishing — not just as a writer, but as an editor who would help shape the direction of the field itself. Ben Bova wrote more than 100 short stories and more than 20 novels. He didn’t write about magical futures. He wrote about futures we could build. But before his reputation as a novelist took off, he became one of the most influential editors in science fiction history. In 1972, he succeeded John W. Campbell as editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact — a monumental moment in the genre. Under Bova’s leadership, Analog continued its tradition of serious, science-based storytelling. For his editorial work, he won the Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor six consecutive times, from 1973 through 1978. Bova also served as President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Today’s story was his very first science fiction short story — the beginning of a career that would span decades and help define modern hard science fiction. From Amazing Science Fiction Stories in February 1960 our story begins on page 6, A Long Way Back by Ben Bova… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, An automated giant is crippled in space, and the only man who can save it swore he would never touch a liner again. To keep hundreds alive, Pop Gillette must prove that instinct still outruns machinery.
