Geier, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Another day, another author making his debut on our podcast. Chester S. Geier. He was born in 1921 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. He wrote about 80 short stories, more than half of them in the 1940s. His first paid published story was, A Length of Rope, in 1941 and his last short story, The Astral Exile, was published in 1953. We know very little about him but we know that he was deaf from the age of twelve.And I know that I love this story. It was published in the summer of 1947 about the time of the Roswell incident in Roswell, New Mexico. To this day some believe that an extraterrestrial spacecraft crash landed near Roswell and that aliens were aboard the spaceship.

It wasn't that Kroll enjoyed watching the traitors broken in body and spirit. But why did they keep insisting they were innocent before—The Inquisitor. By Robert Silverberg, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Science Fiction Grand Master Robert Silverberg has been on the podcast many times with The Mystery of Deneb IV, Never Trust a Thief, Planet of the Angry Giants, Monsters that Once Were Men and several others. He returns today with a short story from December 1956 that appeared in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy. We often hear from listeners who say they don’t understand why authors use pen names. This issue is a great example. Robert Silverberg actually wrote three stories that appeared in this issue. No magazine editor wanted one author to appear multiple times in a single magazine, readers might not like it. So the solution was simple, use a different name, or in this case names. The Alien Dies at Dawn, which you will hear on the podcast in the not too distant future, was credited to Alexander Blade but was written by Silverberg, as was Lair of the Dragonbird. On page 106 of the December 1956 of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy we will find today’s story, The Inquisitor By Robert Silverberg…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Orthedrin, maxiton and glutamic acid—they were the prescription that made him king of his world!

By Randall Garrett, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Thanks to Irma Stolfo on Apple Podcasts Australia who left us a 5 Star review! “Simply the best. Scott your work is outstanding.

If you would like to show your support for our podcast there is a link in the description.  ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVToday marks the debut of another vintage sci-fi author, Randall Garrett. Garrett was among the most prolific science fiction authors during the 1950s and 1960s with most of his more than 180 short stories during that time. He wrote under a long list of pen names which includes David Gordon, Blake MacKenzie, Seaton McKettrig, Clyde Mitchell, Mark Phillips, Robert Randall, Leonard G. Spencer, S. M. Tenneshaw and Gerald Vance. He was good friends with Robert Silverberg and the two of them wrote many short sci-fi stories together. In fact, this may not actually be Randall Garrett’s debut. He may have written Six Frightened Men with Robert Silverberg but we’re not 100% sure.We are sure of one thing, we will be featuring more of his work in the future. The June 1957 issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine was an unusual issue. In its pages were three stories with the same name, kind of. Isaac Asimov wrote a story named Blank! with an exclamation mark which appeared on page 88. Harlan Ellison’s story titled Blank with no punctuation can be found on page 99. And sandwiched in the middle on page 93 is our story, Blank?

The Akkra Case by Miriam Allen de Ford, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Miriam Allen DeFord has never been on our podcast until today. Born in 1888, in Philadelphia, she is best known for her contributions to science fiction, mystery, and true crime.DeFord’s career spanned many decades, during which she produced almost 100 short stories. Her work was featured on Alfred Hitchcock Presents in 1958, an episode based on her short story Death Sentence a decade earlier.

Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clark, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Today on the podcast you will hear the very first published story written by then 19 year old Arthur C. Clarke. It’s a story we probably never would have discovered if not for sci-fi aficionado Jesse Willis. In fact, there are many stories you have heard that he has shared with us. He has a database of more than 7,000 pdf files that you can download and enjoy and a lot more too, at https://www.sffaudio.com.Your 5 star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts never get old. The latest was written by WillEKY, who says, “My favorite podcast. I love this selection of vintage science fiction stories. They are always interesting and entertaining. Narrator and curator Scott Miller does a good job of balancing his own taste for obscure works with popular demand for stories from bigger name authors. High quality narration from a former television professional. My goal was to listen to every episode before leaving this well-earned 5 star review but I realized that the backlog is so deep and the pace at which Scott produces new stories is so steady that it will be a longtime before I’m caught up.” Thanks WillEKY for your outstanding review.Thanks to you we recently became the #1 science fiction podcast in Azerbaijan and Bulgaria. We also achieved the rare status of being #1 for all fiction podcasts as well as the #1 science fiction podcast in Bulgaria at the same time.
