An unremarkable sinnerAmazing StoriesThe story choice and narration are fantastic. After listening to a lot of more modern science fiction podcasts, these stories remind me why the 30’s-50’s were called the golden age of science fiction.

nospammers2010Expert curation of the golden ageI've been a fan of sci-fi for decades, and very much appreciate the quality of the golden age writers. What sets this podcast apart is that the curator and narrator has a perfect discerning eye for the really good stuff--by which I mean his tastes match mine... This is a podcast to cherish.

August100Terrific Dose of Sci FiI have been reading this old pulp sci fi for decades. It is a refreshing treat to hear it read by such a skilled storyteller. The more I listen, the more it grows on me. Keep it up. Please.

NoIamYourFatherBest Podcast AroundI love this podcast! The narrator does a wonderful job. He is a master of changing his voice just slightly so you can hear each character distinctly and allow yourself to become fully immersed in each and every story. I’ve been listening nearly since the beginning and have loved every minute so far! Keep up the great work!

M CoatsWhat are you waiting for?I found this podcast though my library's app. But while my library app allows for 5 audio book check-outs a month, this podcast has no constraints. The audio is clear, the stories and well read, and the selection is varied enough that I have not heard most of these stories. I am only a recent lister, but I am already 30 episodes in.

davidautreyAmazing oportunityTo glimpse back, like a Sci fi time machine. Particularly amazing; the Sci fi from 1700's. Glad I found this show. You are like a pre tv radio, a hit too.

DSBoston1Great!Although the original Star Trek is almost considered "vintage" by now, these stories go back even further. Short compelling tales, read perfectly by Scott with no unnecessay bells and whistles. You can of course tell that these were written in a very different time. But, that's part of the educational process, learning about the roots of sci-fi and how it's changed. Thank you Scott.

NJ Short Story FanExcellent PodcastThank you for narrating “The First Man on the Moon” - it reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode “I Shot an Arrow into the Air.” However, I think you left out the end of Alfred Coppel’s story. There is an epilogue that explains the presence of the figure as Sargon of the spacefaring Lemurians. Thank for bringing these wonderful stories from the Golden Age of Sci Fi to life. I don’t mind the ads, please keep doing what you are doing.

Grog BostonAnnoying ads break story flowI’ve enjoyed the show but the they recently inserted ads into the middle of stories which are jarring and annoying. They interrupt the flow and one’s concentration and enjoyment. It’s a hassle to go your device and fast forward past them. If you must have ads, keep them at the beginning and end. There are too many OTR and podcast shows that are NOT interrupted by ads to make one keep up with this, so PLEASE consider removing ads in the middle of your stories. If not for the ads, you’d get five stars.
-
Jedi1joshGreat podcastI'd like to hear more super short stories. Also is there any chance of doing an episode where you read All you Zombies by Heilein?
-
ArchoneponymousGreat narrationThis podcast has excellent stories told well.

DERREKwWorthy of the Mindwebs comparison!A friend recommended I check out your show with the huge compliment that it is at times similar to “Mindwebs” only without the background music and occasional help from other voice actors. I LOVE your show. I appreciate the source material used. I’ve come to really appreciate your consistency reading each story. It separates you from many others and gives all your shows a continuity which is rare these days. *I have a recommendation although it’s going to be hard to explain. Mindwebs had a few episodes that involved two people writing letters back and forth to each-other. It made for very memorable episodes. The letters sent are all read forming an entertaining conversational dialogue. It would be really cool to hear what you would do with an episode like this. Keep it up! Two Thumbs up, A+, and 5 Stars from one of your newest fans in Colorado Springs.

TealCoffeeMugGreat exceptI am really enjoying your podcast. I’ve enjoyed sci-fi since I was a kid. You do a great job of choosing interesting stories and reading them. Keep it up please. The recent addition of lots of advertisements is annoying. Seemingly there are some at the beginning, middle and end. I understand the need for money, but it’s still annoying.
-
Ulysses7788Fantastic podcast bud ads misplacedAnyway to put all the ads at the beginning, or maybe read them in your voice? The volume change and commercial jingles wake me up and pull me out of the spell you cast.

Sci-fi-guy2001Lost Sci-Fi PidcastIf Podcasting went away completely I would miss Lost Sci-Fi Podcast more than anything else I have ever listened too. The narration is outstanding and the story selection never fails to impress me. Thank you, thank you. Rich in Texas

TinkerationGolden Age Sci-Fi shorts on audioAnyone who's ever enjoyed a collection of sci-fi short stories published in the Golden Age of science fiction magazines will enjoy this podcast. Some stories are well-known classics, many are not, and are more enjoyable for being fresh discoveries. Like every collection of stories, some are standouts and some are duds, depending on your taste, but Scott Miller's soothing voice makes even the 'bad' stories not a terrible listening experience.

the last time i listenedLucky FindI felt lucky to find this. I think I have listened to most science fiction podcast. This is the best. I listen while running and the miles melt away.

goldfischegirl69My Favorite Bedtime ListenMy happy place is listening to these expertly narrated sci-fi stories every night before bed. They are so soothing and relaxing. I love the feeling of being transported to another world. So grateful for each and every episode. Thank you! ❤️

RLVaderThe Best Sci-fi podcast to date!I have listened to every sci-fi podcast I can find. This is by far the best and most consistent one I have come across. Great selection of stories and superb narration.
-
Kaydon TyeA must listen to for sci-fi fans!I found the lost sci-fi podcast shortly after having a conversation about Philip K Dicks with the attendant at the Holter Museum of Art in Helena of Montana and look for more about him. Being a big fan of classic and vintage literature I was pleasantly surprised to find your podcast. I was thrilled to see Philip K Dicks as the pilot episode. I’ve been enjoying the narrator bring to life the story like a old time radio drama. From “The Plagiarist of Rigel IV” to the “The Mind Digger” I hang on to every word to the end. I give the sci-fi podcast five star and say it is a must listen for sci-fi fans.
-
Gtree10Always a joy when a new story dropsSuch a wonderful podcast, being able to listen to these great lost sci-fi stories from a range of authors (some well-know, some unknown). The reader does an incredible job bringing the stories to life. I eagerly look forward to next show dropping.
-
scifyfiOutstandingBeen listening to the podcast for a while. Scott really outdid himself reading The Mind Digger. The stories are always great but the narration is what really stands out.
-
SouthernSandsWhat a gem!This podcast has been a fantastic find. The golden age Sci-fi stories have always been a great mix of cautionary tale and hope for the future. Scott Miller is the perfect narrator to bring them to life. Thanks and keep up the great work.
-
Love theVibeMy two cents.Scott Miller lifts everything to a higher—more artistic—level. Probably would elevate the humble phone book to Shakespearean heights!!!! Many thanks.
-
Zr357Outstanding!!!This is hands down the best sci-fi podcast on the planet!! The narration is out of this world!!
-
Mo _ SanBy far the most bang for buck short stories podcastI’ve listened to a ton of short story podcasts over the years, I can safely say, this is a keeper. I come every week to listen to the latest gem posted on this podcast. The narrator makes it extra special with his performance taking the listener to the universe of the story.
-
NT MriGuyFar out!I’m really enjoying your story telling of vintage sci-fi. I have been pleasantly entertained by your back stories and amounts of historical information. So informative, entertaining, and enlightening! Thank you for this gem! T From Texas

bwdesmoA legitimate top tier podI can’t do justice to how good this podcast is, truly. The host has an affect and vocal style that’s just perfect. The stories are buried gems, sure, there’s problematic vocabulary but you have to enjoy it in the spirit it’s offered. I LOVE seeing how creative people from 40-50 years ago, imagined how the world would exist. It’s just glorious and I love it.

miss hitlerA million miles from hereThe stories take me away from this every day world and let’s my imagination shine through!
-
TCBermyClassics from the MastersGreat stories! I listen every week, sometimes the stories are shorts by a famous master of vintage Sci-Fi. Sometimes they are great stories by someone you never heard of. The narrator is perfect, I imagine sitting in front of a classic radio.

SasquatchSieberBest Classic Sci-Fi Out There!Greetings from Okinawa, Japan. I am hooked on this podcast! I love how the owner gives us history of the author. His voice is perfect for the stories! I have beng-listened to all the podcast and now cannot wait for each weeks’s additions!
-
K VomerVery enjoyable!Lots of vintage sci fi stories! Love the narrator’s voice. Also- he gives a little snippet about the history of the writer or what magazine it came from. It’s fun to hear what people have imagined the future and life on other planets would be like. Double thumbs up!👍👍
-
uncle shaunJust what I wanted! 🪐This is a superb Sci-Fi podcast. I love everything about it. Keep ‘em coming!
-
kumaridoI love this podcastThis is everything I ever wanted in a podcast! Great reading, great stories and a narrator who is a bit of a historian. He’s saving these works from oblivion as many of them may never be published again. If you like Sci Fi or if you are even mildly interested in speculative fiction you will enjoy this
-
user1234xyzWhat a Find!These podcasts are the “perfect storm” for people like me, who love classic stories from the pages of the old sci-fi periodicals, and appreciate when they are really well done. Thank you for your fine efforts and for sharing your talents with us all.

blablayaddayaddaExceptionalThe best scifi podcast I’ve come across. Fantastic stories are one thing, but I can’t count the number of times I have been disappointed by the quality of the voice acting. I am very happy to say, that the standard of both contained within these episodes is top notch. As is often the case, there are elements within classic scifi that don’t age particularly well for numerous reasons, but they are few and far between. I think I will be blasting through the entire catalog in no time and left waiting in anticipation for the next weekly edition. Great work!
-
