When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

The tiny asteroid with the frightened girl and the wrecked spacer with the grim young man slowly spun closer and closer ... but the real danger came after the crash! Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Special thanks to Paul Belcher for his 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, “My New Favorite Podcast. I’m so impressed with this unassuming, yet extremely entertaining podcast. I love the narration, the little facts about each story, and the interesting mix of authors and different sub genres within the overarching sci-fi subject. It’s been fun rediscovering classics and hearing some of the more obscure authors for my first time. Thanks Scott - I appreciate your hard work and dedication!” Paul we appreciate your spectacular review and thanks for listening!! If you haven’t already left us a 5 star review, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it if you did.

Like others we’ve featured on the podcast Clyde Beck was a science fiction fan before he was a sci-fi author. His short stories were published only four times, first in 1930, then in 1947, 1950 and 1953. Beck was born in California in 1912 and died there in 1986.

Collision Orbit was published in Planet Stories magazine in the summer of 1950. Two other stories we’ve shared on the podcast appeared in that issue, Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair and The Enormous Word by William Oberfield. Turn to page 48, Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, same title, different story, The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west weren’t settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen — the men who didn’t fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space… Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean.

The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens - Written by the Woman Who Invented Dark Fantasy 1:08:40

Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Francis Stevens. But after today’s story you will probably never forget her. She has been called “the woman who invented dark fantasy.” She was born Gertrude Mabel Barrows in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1883. Some say her middle name was Myrtle instead of Mabel but since the state of Minnesota and the county where she was born don’t have birth records going back that far we will never know. She wrote her first short story at age 17, a science fiction story titled The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar . She mailed the story to Argosy . The story was accepted and published in the March 1904 issue, listing the author as "G. M. Barrows”. Although the initials disguised her gender, this appears to be the first instance of an American female author publishing science fiction, and using her real name. She had only seven short stories published and wrote five novels, with just two released during her lifetime. From Argosy magazine in July 1919, The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The punishment had to fit more than just the crime—it had to suit every world in the Galaxy!

The Incredible Slingshot Bombs by Robert Moore Williams - A Short Science Fiction Story from 1942 40:26

It was only a slingshot, but it hurled more death than a thousand-pound bomb. Where did Tommy Sonofagun get those deadly pellets? The Incredible Slingshot Bombs by Robert Moore Williams. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Our last episode featured an author we had never showcased before, William Tenn, today another, Robert Moore Williams and our next episode we will debut another authors work, Francis Stevens. Although we were not familiar with Robert Moore Williams work, it’s not like he was a minor player in the pulp sci-fi world in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, with more than 170 short stories to his credit along with 20 novels. Williams was born in Farmington, Missouri in 1907, graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1931 and published his first story in 1937. Zero as a Limit appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1937 and his career took off. His stories were published 17 times in what was left of the 1930s and 90 stories appeared in the pulps in the 1940s. We will find our story on page 130 in the May 1942 issue of Amazing Stories magazine, The Incredible Slingshot Bombs by Robert Moore Williams… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot.

Project Hush by William Tenn and Homesick by Lynn Venable - Two Stories from Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine 35:09

The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble! Project Hush by William Tenn and What thrill is there in going out among the stars if coming back means bitter loneliness? Homesick by Lynn Venable. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Until today, we had never narrated a story by William Tenn—though, in truth, William Tenn never actually wrote a story. How is that possible? Because William Tenn was the pen name of Philip Klass. Born in London in 1920, Klass moved to New York City before his second birthday. He grew up in Brooklyn, served in the Army during World War II, and later spent 22 years as a professor at Penn State University. Klass wrote over 60 short stories, beginning in 1946 with Alexander the Bait, which appeared in Astounding Science Fiction . Most of his work was published during the 1950s. Turn to page 100 in the February 1954 publication, Galaxy Science Fiction, Project Hush by William Tenn … Our second story on the podcast today comes from Lynn Venable. Though she wrote only seven stories, each one left a lasting impression. This was her first, published in the December 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction . We will discover our story on page 73, Homesick by Lynn Venable … Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It was only a slingshot, but it hurled more death than a thousand-pound bomb.

In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read.

Scott’s selection of stories is right on the money, and his voice and characterizations are the work of a master. Thank You!” Thank you Doctorwoo!! When we launched The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our goal was to spotlight truly forgotten science fiction short stories—many of which had never been narrated before. But we’ve been listening to you, and your requests have taken us in unexpected directions. H. P. Lovecraft’s stories have been recorded many times, so we hadn’t planned to include them. However, your enthusiasm made us rethink that decision, and now we realize this is a story we should have shared long ago. So here it is—thanks to you! From the September 1927 issue of Amazing Stories , our eerie tale can be found on page 556, The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What if you had the power to change reality with a single thought? An ordinary man discovers his limitless abilities—only to learn that absolute power comes with devastating consequences. The Man Who Could Work Miracles by H. G. Wells. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV =========================== Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcast Twitter - https://x.com/LostSciFiPod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lostscifiguy Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/lostscifipodcast.bsky.social TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@scottscifiguy =========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee $200 Someone $75 James Van Maanenberg $50 Anonymous Listener $25 Eaten by a Grue, Jeff Lussenden, Fred Sieber, Anne, Craig Hamilton, Dave Wiseman, Bromite Thrip, Marwin de Haan, Future Space Engineer, Fressie, Kevin Eckert, Stephen Kagan, James Van Maanenberg, Irma Stolfo, Josh Jennings, Leber8tr, Conrad Chaffee, Anonymous Listener $15 Someone, Carolyn Guthleben, Patrick McLendon, Curious Jon, Buz C., Fressie, Anonymous Listener $10 Anonymous Listener $5 Timothy Buckley, Andre'a, Martin Brown, Ron McFarlan, Tif Love, Chrystene, Richard Hoffman, Anonymous Listener Hosted on Acast.
