Description

The computer classified it "rabbit" and Montresig was not one to argue, long ears or not! Rabbits Have Long Ears by Lawrence F. Willard, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. Support the show - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV Two days ago, we heard from Isaac Asimov, yesterday Philip K. Dick and tomorrow Robert A. Heinlein. Three very accomplished and recognized science fiction authors. Today, not so much.  The man who wrote today’s offering only authored one story that we could find. We couldn’t find when he was born or when he died nor where he lived, until we unearthed a response he wrote to an article in Astounding Science Fiction in 1956. He wrote about “road hypnosis” and how it can cause accidents. He suggested several solutions including the use of radar to warn the driver that he is getting close to another motorist. Radar wouldn’t be used for more than 30 years in Japanese vehicles and high end cars in the US and Europe wouldn’t use radar for more than 40 years after Willard brought it up in Astounding Science Fiction Magazine. We also learned that at the time he was a news photographer and he gave his address as, Box 262, Yalesville, Connecticut. Two and a half years later Mr. Willard’s lone story appeared in the August 1958 issue of, If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine. Turn to page 70 for Rabbits Have Long Ears by Lawrence F. Willard… Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The exposition was easily the biggest John Watts had ever seen, and he’d seen them all. Yet, besides its size, there was something else strange about this fair­–it was just a little out of this world! The Elephant Circuit by Robert A. Heinlein. That’s tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Support the show
