Smith, that\u2019s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

George O. Smith is another of those authors that most people have never heard of. When I first stumbled upon Mr. Smith I liked his work so here he is. George Oliver Smith, born in Chicago in 1911 was a consistent contributor to Astounding Science Fiction during the Golden Age of Science Fiction of the 1940s. His collaboration with the magazine's editor, John W. Campbell, Jr. was interrupted when Campbell's first wife, Do\xf1a, left him in 1949 and married Smith. Yea, that tends to mess up a relationship between friends.

He wrote about 70 short stories and novels, most of them in the 1940s and 50s.\xa0

Today marks the beginning of several stories written by George O. Smith that you will hear, here on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Open the pages of Rocket Stories magazine, a publication that debuted in April 1953 and disappeared three issues later after the September 53 issue. The 2nd issue which came out in July gave us the story you\u2019re about to hear. Turn with me to page 50 for, Home is the Spaceman by George O. Smith\u2026
