Sci-Fi Short Stories From the 1960s The Early Days of Science Fiction Lester Del Rey
The Early Days of Sci Fi Science Fiction Short Story From the 1960s written by Science Fiction Grand Master Lester Del Rey
The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast Episode 279 – Spawning Ground by Lester Del Rey
They weren't human. They were something more—and something less—they were, in short, humanity's hopes for survival! Spawning Ground by Lester Del Rey, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Special thanks to Ron McFarlan who bought us a coffee. “Still loving the show! I’d say it gets better but the early ones are pretty seamless quality wise. The story I thought you’d like is Robert Sheckley’s “Store of the Worlds”, as timely as ever. It’s from Playboy 1959 so may not qualify but I can hear you reading it.” Thanks Ron! I will ask our copyright expert Jesse if “Store of the Worlds” is in the public domain. As you know I love Robert Sheckley.

Science Fiction Grand Master Lester Del Rey returns to the podcast today with a story unlike any other we have narrated so far. From If Worlds of Science Fiction in September 1961 we will find our story on page 40, Spawning Ground by Lester Del Rey…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, It was a weird sort of battle for survival–not only of individuals, but each, against his will, represented his whole race. And the battle rested on ingenuity, tenacity and courage, not strength alone. Arena by Frederic Brown.
