There was a reason why his scripts were smash hits—they had realism. And why not? He was reliving every scene and emotion in them! The Mind Digger by Winston Marks, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

The stories take me away from this every day world and let’s my imagination shine through!” Another 5-star review from NT MriGuy, “Far 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” Thanks to both of you for your reviews!

Our author, Winston Marks, is one of the reasons we started narrating vintage sci-fi and one of the reasons we call these stories lost sci-fi. About two years ago I started thinking about narrating science fiction because I’m a sci-fi fan. I did some research and discovered thousands of vintage sci-fi short stories that had never been available as audiobooks. Seemed a shame that these amazing stories weren’t available, so I decided to call these stories lost sci-fi, started selling these sci-fi short stories and a few months later The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast was born. 

Winston Marks could be the poster boy for Lost Sci-Fi. I like his writing and yet I couldn’t find any of his short stories available in audio.  

A writer strives for realism–but to this boy it came easy. He lived his scenes! We’ll find our story on page 77 in the April 1958 Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy,  The Mind Digger by Winston Marks…

Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I have no idea why, but next week’s story is one of my favorites, She Brought Death to All Who Walked Behind Her! The Black Ewe by Fritz Leiber. That’s next week onThe Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
