A screaming meteor tears out of the sky and leaves more than a crater in its wake—inside it lies a mystery that bends the laws of physics. When Charlie King steps into the blue haze surrounding the fallen stone, he discovers that rescuing the Meteor Girl may require a leap across space-time itself. The Meteor Girl by Jack Williamson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

I love hearing from listeners around the world—it’s your feedback that keeps Lost Sci-Fi flying through the galaxy week after week. Here’s a message that made my day from RickBase456 on Spotify

“Love The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast! Scott’s narrations and characterizations sound like the voices I imagine when reading. I found the podcast on Spotify when I searched for ‘Sci-Fi,’ checked out the first story, and never looked back. Many thanks for an entertaining podcast that reminds me of the days when I subscribed to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.”

Thanks Rick! We’re happy to take you on a trip down science-fiction memory lane. We’ve got a fascinating trip through forgotten futures, strange worlds, and stories that once filled the golden pages of pulp magazines — all brought back to life, one episode at a time.

What would you do if a glowing meteor landed on Earth—not with destruction, but with a doorway to something impossible? Jack Williamson wasn’t just asking that question… he was asking it in 1931, when ideas like relativity, other dimensions, and cosmic portals were still wild, frightening theories rather than sci-fi staples. A love story, a scientific gamble, a leap into the unknown—time to find out how far one man will go to save the woman he loves… even if it means stepping outside the universe itself. From Astounding Stories in March 1931 our story begins on page 404, The Meteor Girl by Jack Williamson…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In a rundown San Francisco apartment building, Ellen begins to suspect something monstrous is hiding behind her neighbors’ polite smiles. When the cats go missing and the noises in the walls grow louder, she realizes she might be the only human left who knows the truth. Know Thy Neighbor by Elisabeth R. Lewis.
