A madman can be prevented frombomb-throwing—but a mad world? King of the Hill by James Blish, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

We love hearing from you! Odette wrote us an email recently, “Dear Mr. Miller,

Thank you for your fantastic reading voice. Your accent and pronunciation and rhythm of the reading you do for the world is a delight to the mind. You are one of two readers who have this special resonance in your voice.

Thank you, and thank you again Odette”

Odette, thank you! Your kind words are music to my ears.

If you’d like to send us an email, we’d love it! [email protected]

Author James Blish makes his debut on the podcast today. Blish was born in 1921 in East Orange, New Jersey. While he was in high school, he published a sci-fi fanzine, The Planeteer. Blish became a member of the Futurian Science Fiction Society in New York City and became close friends with members Damon Knight and C. M. Kornbluth.

He wrote just over 90 short stories and 9 novels.

Our story can be found in the very first issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine in November 21955, on page 56, King of the Hill by James Blish…

Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Sextus Rollo Forsyte had his trouble with the bottle, but nothing out of a bottle ever produced such a hotel as the Mahoney-Plaza: only 260 rooms ... only two guests to a room ... but accommodating 5200 guests—all at the same time!... Floor please? Forsyte’s Retreat by Winston Marks. That’s tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Support the show
