Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clarke - The First Published Story by Arthur C. Clarke

Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clark, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Today on the podcast you will hear the very first published story written by then 19 year old Arthur C. Clarke. It’s a story we probably never would have discovered if not for sci-fi aficionado Jesse Willis. In fact, there are many stories you have heard that he has shared with us. He has a database of more than 7,000 pdf files that you can download and enjoy and a lot more too, at https://www.sffaudio.com.

Your 5 star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts never get old. The latest was written by WillEKY, who says, “My favorite podcast. I love this selection of vintage science fiction stories. They are always interesting and entertaining. Narrator and curator Scott Miller does a good job of balancing his own taste for obscure works with popular demand for stories from bigger name authors. High quality narration from a former television professional. My goal was to listen to every episode before leaving this well-earned 5 star review but I realized that the backlog is so deep and the pace at which Scott produces new stories is so steady that it will be a longtime before I’m caught up.” Thanks WillEKY for your outstanding review.

We also achieved the rare status of being #1 for all fiction podcasts as well as the #1 science fiction podcast in Bulgaria at the same time. Thank you for all you do to support, promote, share and listen to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

He was the editor of three issues of the UK publication titled “Amateur Science Stories”. And that’s where we will find today’s debut of a then unknown Arthur C. Clarke. On page 9 of Volume 1 No 2 of “Amateur Science Stories”, Travel by Wire by Arthur C. Clark…
