Listen for free

  • Summary

  • 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.

  • Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn - Short Science Fiction Story From the 1940s

    Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn - Short Science Fiction Story From the 1940s
    Jul 1 2024

    Here is an epic worthy of you, immortal bard. Arise, oh Homer, and hearken to the classic saga of Achilles Maravain! Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    An unusual story for you today on the podcast and another debut of an author who isn’t very well known. To be fair almost nobody knows anything about him. His stories, all three of them, were published once a decade in the 1930s, 40s and 50s.


    Today’s story was published in Science Fiction Quarterly in the Spring of 1942. Let’s turn to page 122, Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Leonard–or the thing that had been Leonard–must be destroyed. Changeling by Ray Bradbury.

Brilliant! Great narrator and choice of stories

Very happy with discovering this podcast! it is obvious that the narrator loves sci- fi and the introduction to each story makes it even better experience. I have been a huge sci fi fan since childhood and still thanks to this podcast learn new interesting facts about the authors as well as discovering authors I haven't read before.
Thank you for creating this wonderful podcast!
