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.

A brilliant but reckless scientist unlocks the power to transmit matter through electricity—only to find himself reborn as a talking head in a museum display. His greatest invention has left him literally a man without a body. The Man Without A Body by Edward Page Mitchell. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
The maiden voyage of our newsletter Lost Sci-Fi Weekly blasted off a few days ago, and Issue #2 went out this morning. We did have a minor glitch with the signup form but it’s been repaired.
Every issue beams free vintage sci-fi stories straight to your inbox—no ads, no intros. just pure story goodness.
But beware, the download links self-destruct when the next issue goes out. We accidentally set the timer to “black hole speed” the first time, so the link vanished faster than a spaceship crewman who says, ‘I’ll go check that strange noise.’”. Our bad. The clock has been reset—you’ve got one more week to grab the goods.
Just click the link in the description or warp over to LostSciFi.com and join in on the fun.

Edward Page Mitchell is one of the great forgotten architects of early science fiction—an author who was doing things in the 1870s and 1880s that the genre wouldn’t “officially” discover for decades. Time travel, teleportation, cybernetics, artificial intelligence… Mitchell wrote it all before most people even had electricity in their homes.
His stories appeared in newspapers, not magazines, which is one reason his name slipped through the cracks of history. But make no mistake—long before Verne, Wells, or Asimov were household names, Edward Page Mitchell was already imagining the impossible and treating it as everyday fact.
First published in The New York Sun on March 25, 1877, this is one of his most remarkable tales—equal parts eerie, inventive, and shockingly modern for its era, The Man Without A Body by Edward Page Mitchell…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, An unsuspecting family hosts Earth’s first Martian visitor… only to discover he’s been locked in their upstairs bathroom for hours. Curiosity turns into panic as they wonder what—exactly—he’s doing in there. What’s he doing in there? By Fritz Leiber.
