  • Welcoming Committee and The Robots Strike by Harry Harrison
    They’d long known that they were more than mere machines. They could reason, remember, and teach. And also plan, The Robots Strike and Welcoming Committee by Harry Harrison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Harry Harrison is best known for his character The Stainless Steel Rat which we featured on the podcast more than a year ago. But he also wrote a plethora of lesser known short stories beginning in the 1950s and you will hear two of them today.Our first story appeared in Fantastic Universe magazine in January 1959. We will discover this robot rebellion on page 58, The Robots Strike by Harry Harrison…Our second story was published earlier in Harrison’s career. If you didn’t know better you would swear that Harrison didn’t write it because in the October 1957 issue of Fantastic Universe magazine our story is credited to Felix Boyd. Harrison used the pen name Felix Boyd three times and we’ve already narrated one of the others, The Robot Who Wanted to Know. The Magazine, Fantastic Universe, the date October 1957, the page where it begins 92, the story, Welcoming Committee by Harry Harrison…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, All his life he had been searching for the big strike. But always he had failed. Now he had come to Mars—his last chance. This had to be—Gunnison's Bonanza by Dick Purcell.☕ Buy Me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsVFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/lost_sci_fi=========================== ❤️ ❤️ Thanks to All Our Listeners Who Bought Us a Coffee$200 Someone$75 James Van Maanenberg$50 Anonymous Listener$25 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.

  • The Man Who Did Things Twice and The Spider and the Fly by Don Mark Lemon
    Today on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we go back 119 years and introduce you to a story by an author we have never featured on the podcast before. The Man Who Did Things Twice and a second story by Don Mark Lemon, The Spider and the Fly. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Don Mark Lemon was born in Arizona in September 1877, he wrote 15 short stories and 1 novel, The Scarlet Planet, which was published in 1930.His first published short story, Doctor Goldman, can be found in the December 1900 issue of The Black Cat which launched in 1895. The Black Cat sold for five cents and encouraged amateur writers to submit stories. As the story goes the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild might never have been written if not for The Black Cat. London wasn’t having success as a writer and was about to give up but then he sold a story, A Thousand Deaths, to The Black Cat in 1899 and The Call of the Wild was published four years later! Never give up, Never Surrender!!The first Don Mark Lemon story on the podcast won a $100 prize, which would be worth about $3,500 today, and appeared in the June 1905 issue of The Black Cat on page 39, The Man Who Did Things Twice by Don Mark Lemon…Our second story by Don Mark Lemon was published in The Thrill Book, a short lived publication which began and ceased publication in 1919.
