Hall and Upjohn had to escape from that "No-man's-land" on Mercury. But to form a plan, they had to think—and their captors could read minds. The Thought-Men of Mercury by Russ Winterbotham. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

It’s 1942. The world is at war, but on newsstands across America, another kind of battle rages—in the pulp pages of Planet Stories magazine. Crack open the Fall issue, flip to page 42, and step into a strange new world of thought control, danger, and desperate escape. An adventure where minds are weapons, and freedom hangs by a thread. The Thought-Men of Mercury by Russ Winterbotham…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Super warfare has destroyed the old race of man, but elsewhere a new civilization is dawning… Flight Through Tomorrow by Stanton A. Coblentz

Ron Goulart makes his debut on the podcast today—and trust me, it won’t be his last. Born in Berkeley, California in 1933, he studied at UC Berkeley and began his career as an advertising copywriter in San Francisco before turning to fiction.

And once he did, he never looked back. Goulart wrote across genres—science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and romance—publishing more than 180 books and an untold number of short stories.

You might recognize his work without even knowing it. Ever heard of the TekWar novels credited to William Shatner? Goulart was the ghostwriter behind them.

His son Sean once said that Ron’s true passion was science fiction. “Deep down, he wanted to be the Ray Bradbury of humorous science fiction.” After hearing today’s story, I think you’ll agree—he pulled it off brilliantly.

Turn to page 73 in Amazing Stories, July 1963, The Yes Men of Venus by Ron Goulart…

All told he wrote more than 60 short stories in a career that spanned six decades. Today’s title came early in his career. Published in the Winter 1944 issue of Planet Stories magazine, we will find this hairy story on page 76, The Hairy Ones by Basil Wells…
