About this episode

The aliens looked cute as Koalas. But there was a little matter of a graveyard of dead space-ships. The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


One of the reasons we named it The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast was because we wanted to narrate stories that had never been narrated before and were little known, if known at all. Our story today, written by Gene L. Henderson, is one of those lost sci-fi short stories.


Who was he, where was he born? Questions we cannot answer. We do know that he wrote 9 short stories from 1951 to 1954 and one in 1964. In addition we know that this will not be the last story he wrote that we will narrate.


From the very first issue of Fantastic Universe Science Fiction Magazine dated June/July 1953 let’s go to page 119 and discover the story of, The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The humblest events sometimes result from the most grandiose beginnings. You'd never imagine space travel starting this way, for instance! Two Weeks in August by Frank M. Robinson.
