The Shisti and the Assistant Shisti of Mars chose Chicago, U.S.A., for their vacation spot. No worries; they were invisible. Plenty of rich food; the joint was loaded. A whole year of frolicking in store. Only one thing they overlooked—there was a curious convention going on. Con-Fen by James R. Adams. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

This episode marks the first time James R. Adams has appeared on our podcast. We’d love to share more about him—but truth be told, there isn’t much known. He published five stories in the 1940s and the one you’re about to hear in the 1950s. That’s all we have… but sometimes, the stories speak for themselves.

The last story in Planet Stories magazine in May 1953 can be found on page 104, Con-Fen by James R. Adams…

Karson was creating a superman to fight the weird super-monsters who had invaded Earth. But he was forgetting one tiny thing—like calls to like. The Avenger by Damon Knight. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

The very first Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association was presented to Robert Heinlein in 1975. Today’s featured author, Damon Knight, received the honor twenty years later, in 1995. Following his death in 2002, the award was renamed the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award, in recognition of Knight’s legacy as the founder of the Association.

The Spring 1944 issue of Planet Stories has already delivered two tales featured on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast—The Monster Maker by Ray Bradbury and Fredric Brown’s And the Gods Laughed. Today, we bring you another gem from that same issue, this time by an author named Stuart Fleming—though that wasn’t his real name. Turn to page 31 for, The Avenger by Damon Knight…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, There is an infinite number of paths through a lens between an object point and its image point-and no matter how many changes of path you make, have you changed anything? Try and Change the Past by Fritz Leiber.
