It was a wonderful bodyguard: no bark, no bite, no sting ... just conversion of the enemy! Martians Never Die by Lucius Daniel. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

We went through a stretch where episodes were a little scarce, but that’s changing now—we’re going all in! Our goal is to bring you a brand-new episode every single day for the rest of 2025. If we can pull it off, we’ll cross the 500-episode mark by December. Thanks so much for sticking with us and supporting the podcast.

When our YouTube channel got wrongfully shut down last year, a lot of you told us that what we really lost was the sense of community we’d built together. So—we’re fixing that! 🎉 We’re launching a Discord server where you can hang out with other listeners, ask questions, join us for live narrations, and just be part of the fun again. You’ll find the invite link in the description—we’d love to see you there!

Lucius Daniel makes his first appearance on the podcast today! We wish we could share a full backstory on him, but like many authors who only published a handful of tales, there’s not much information out there. What we do know is that he gave us three stories—one in 1952, another in 1953, and a final one in 1954.

His first story appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction in April 1952 on page 105, Martians Never Die by Lucius Daniel…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Captain Brandon was a pioneer. He explored the far reaches of space and reported back on how things were out there. So it was pretty disquieting to find out that the “far reaches of space” knew more about what went on at home than he did. The Quantum Jump by Robert Wicks.
