Dan | 264 comments The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast is a podcast that narrates science fiction magazine short stories mostly from the 1950s and early 1960s. It's hosted by Scott Miller and revives mostly obscure (or "long-forgotten") tales from the pulp magazine era and classic anthologies, making them accessible to a modern audience.

Each episode features a narrated short story or two covering classic sci-fi themes such as time travel, aliens, strange planets, and weird futures. I've noticed Miller's selections tend to the softer side of SF, especially the slightly humorous. This is probably because it lends itself to the audio format more than reciting a lot of technospeak at a fast pace would.

I really enjoy this series and recommend others look it up. I listen to it for free on Spotify. It has been in existence almost four years now and they have more than 450 episodes which comes out to probably 600 or so short stories. That's about a one episode every three days pace, which now amounts to an amazingly large number of audio stories available for the listening to.
