Henderson before on the podcast in a wonderfully strange tale first published in a 1953 issue of Fantastic Universe. Henderson introduced us to an alien species that, at first glance, seem adorable. But don’t let their cuteness deceive you. If you'd like to give it a listen look for The Small Bears.He’s back with another unusual story, first published in Startling Stories in February 1952 on page 117, The First Spaceman by Gene L. Henderson…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, From Xebico a strange and uncanny story came over the wire in the wan hours before the dawn. The Night Wire by H. F. Arnold.
