The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories
Scott Miller
Step aboard our cosmic vessel and embark on a thrilling journey through the annals of science fiction history. Delve into the realms of imagination with us as we traverse the vast expanses of the solar system, encountering aliens, robots, and spacefaring brigands amidst the twinkling stars. Our spacefaring odyssey takes us beyond the confines of light-years, venturing into the unknown to unveil the secrets of distant planets and the enigmatic beings that inhabit them.
Join us three times a week as we unearth timeless tales penned by the luminaries of vintage sci-fi literature. From the visionary minds of Philip K. Dick to the poetic prose of Ray Bradbury, from the boundless imagination of Isaac Asimov to the pioneering works of H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Harlan Ellison, Fritz Leiber, Alan E. Nourse, Frederik Pohl, and countless others, we bring you short stories that have shaped the genre for generations.
Prepare to journey back in time, sixty, a hundred years, or more, to an era when these awe-inspiring narratives first graced the pages of pulp magazines and sci-fi anthologies. Yet, paradoxically, our destination often lies in the distant future, where the echoes of these literary marvels continue to resonate.
Guiding us through this celestial voyage is our narrator, Scott Miller, who serves as your companion and guide as we traverse the cosmos, exploring the wonders of yesteryear and the possibilities of tomorrow. Join us as we navigate the depths of space and time, embarking on an adventure that transcends the boundaries of imagination.

Listen to the last episode:
This could be a Christmas story. If it is, it shows one way Peace on Earth can be attained! Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Author Dean Evans makes his debut on the podcast. Evans wasn’t his real name, that would be George Kull. Couldn’t find his date of birth or where he was born but we know he lived in California. The only thing I could find about him was these words from author Frederik Pohl who said, ““There was a fellow named George Kull in California…who wrote pretty good light mysteries, but he wrote them in enormous volume, and I couldn’t sell them as fast as he wrote them. He was starving to death, and he was into me for like three thousand dollars when I wrote him off.”
Kull, as Dean Evans, published 12 short stories from 1951 to 1953. His first story can be found on page 113 in Galaxy Science Fiction in December 1951, Not a Creature Was Stirring by Dean Evans…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was dangerously insane. He threatened to destroy everything that was noble and decent—including my date with my girl! The Spy in the Elevator by Donald E. Westlake.
