About this listen

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.


Join us several 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, and countless others, we bring you short stories that have shaped the genre for generations.


Prepare to journey back in time 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.

    No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln
    Oct 8 2025


    A man begins to sense that part of himself has slipped away—only to reappear in Ireland, where he was born. What unfolds is a haunting tale of divided identity and the eerie possibility of living two lives at once. No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Author Victoria Lincoln dabbled in science fiction only once, writing a single short story in the genre. She was best known as a novelist, biographer, and true crime author, whose career spanned several decades.


    Born in 1904 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lincoln grew up in the same city forever associated with another notorious resident, the infamous Lizzie Borden. In 1967, Lincoln turned her attention to Borden’s story in A Private Disgrace, a deeply researched account of the 1892 murders. The book earned her the prestigious Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, solidifying her reputation as a master of true crime and biography rather than science fiction.


    Her single sci-fi story can be found in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in April 1958 on page 70, No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, New York was a bad town for robots this year. In fact, all over the country it was bad for robots…. The Velvet Glove by Harry Harrison
