Last Resort by Stephen Bartholomew

Far from help and beyond certainty, a returning astronaut confronts a problem that logic cannot solve. Survival depends on a forbidden experiment that could unlock impossible insight—or erase him completely. Last Resort by Stephen Bartholomew. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Whether you’ve been listening since day one or you’re just joining us now, we want to sincerely thank you for being part of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. In one short month, we’ll reach our 4th Anniversary, a milestone that still feels unreal, and we’ve set our sights on something extraordinary: Episode 500 on February 24, 2026, exactly four years after our very first episode went live.

Reaching that moment means pushing harder than ever, releasing nearly an episode every day over the next month, driven by a deep love for forgotten and underrated vintage science fiction—and by the listeners who made this journey possible. This milestone isn’t just ours; it belongs to everyone who pressed play, shared an episode, gave us a 5 star rating and review and kept these stories alive. Thank you!
