Welcome to the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, featuring sci-fi short stories from the 1940s, 50s and 60s with a few from the 1930s and one from 1899. In this episode we’ll tell you who we are, how we got started and why we’re doing the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast and it will be the only episode that does not include at least one lost sci-fi short story. Hi I’m Scott Miller audiobook narrator and your host for the Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. I’ve been narrating audiobooks for almost a decade and last year I discovered these amazing sci-fi short stories and wondered why the vast majority of them have never been available as audiobooks. The answer is probably that they haven’t been viewed as profitable since most of them are less than an hour long. To me this is a passion project, something I love to do and I want to share these stories with you at the lowest possible price. You can’t beat free so even though these audiobooks are available for sale, I decided to include at least one lost sci-fi short story in every episode of our podcast. I say at least one because some of the stories are less than 20 minutes long. When we have an episode with a story under 20 minutes we’ll include another short story. You can listen to any episode you want, in any order you want because you’ll hear the whole story or stories in every episode. So what kind of stories will you hear? Aliens, Asteroids, Space Ships, Space travelers, Time Travelers, Robots, Criminals, Scientists, Space Pirates, Space Colonies, Castaways and more. When you consider that these stories were written 60 to 100 years ago or more you’ll be amazed that these writers were, in some ways, actually predicting the future.Episode #1 features Philip K Dick and in later episodes you’ll hear from Ray Bradbury, Alan E. Nourse and hundreds of authors you’ve never even heard of. All with fascinating stories to tell, most of which have never been recorded before and most of them have never been available as audiobooks. We hope you enjoy the lost sci-fi podcast.Support the showPlease participate in our podcast survey https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/gNLcxQlk Hosted on Acast.
