Ground by Hal Clement

They were inside the sun, in a temperature of 900 Kelvin. With the refrigerators out there was only one wild chance to pull through. Ground by Hal Clement. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

We’re back! 🎉 After a tough stretch with some health challenges, that’s all behind us now—and we couldn’t be more excited. You’ll be seeing lots more episodes every week, and we’ve got another big change coming your way.

We’ve heard from so many of you asking for longer stories, and guess what? They’re on the way! These longer tales will be split into episodes about an hour to an hour and a half each, released on consecutive days—so you can settle in and really enjoy the ride.

Author Hal Clement returns to the podcast today. We featured the story Hot Planet written by Clement almost a year ago.

Back in December 1953, a lot was happening. A devastating tornado outbreak in the Southern US claimed 49 lives, and on the other side of the world, a tragic train accident in New Zealand took 151 lives when a bridge collapsed. Meanwhile, in the US, the very first color TVs hit the shelves—though with their steep price tags, most folks didn’t bring one home until the mid-60s or even the early 70s.

And the December 1953 issue of Science Fiction Adventures brought readers Consignment by Alan E. Nourse and The Hanging Stranger by Philip K. Dick—two incredible stories you might remember from the podcast. On page 142 of that issue we will find today’s story, Ground by Hal Clement…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The space ships were miracles of power and precision; the men who manned them, rich in endurance and courage. Every detail had been checked and double checked; every detail except—The Nothing Equation by Tom Godwin.
