Milestones

Thank You for 2 Million Listens on Apple Podcasts

Scott Miller | January 11, 2026

What an extraordinary moment for The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

We are thrilled—and deeply grateful—to share that we’ve officially passed 2 MILLION listens on Apple Podcasts. That number alone is humbling. When we step back and look at the bigger picture, it becomes even more astonishing: more than 3.2 million listens across all platforms and counting.

None of this happened by accident. And none of it happened without you.

This Milestone Belongs to You

Every download, every listen, every share, every recommendation to a friend—this milestone exists because listeners around the world chose to press play. From longtime science-fiction fans who grew up with these stories, to new listeners discovering vintage sci-fi for the very first time, you have carried this podcast farther than we ever imagined.

Listeners in more than 190 countries! Different time zones. Different languages. One shared love for imaginative storytelling. That is the magic of classic science fiction—and of this community.

Vintage Science Fiction Still Matters

The stories we feature were written decades ago, yet they continue to feel urgent, imaginative, and emotionally powerful. These authors explored big ideas—technology, humanity, fear, wonder, hope—long before they became everyday conversations.

By listening, you are helping keep these stories alive. You are proving that great storytelling does not expire. That imagination transcends generations. That a powerful idea, well told, can still stop us in our tracks.

From the Beginning to Now

When The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast began, the goal was simple: bring forgotten and underrated vintage science fiction back into the spotlight—one short story at a time.

There were no expectations of millions of listens. Just a love of the genre. Just a belief that these stories deserved to be heard. And now, here we are.

We’re Just Getting Started

Two million listens on Apple Podcasts is not a finish line. It’s a launchpad. We are more committed than ever to unearthing overlooked classics, spotlighting legendary authors, and delivering one incredible vintage science fiction short story after another.

There are still so many worlds to explore. So many ideas to rediscover. So many unforgettable stories waiting in the shadows.

Thank You

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being part of this growing, global community of science-fiction lovers. The future of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast is bright—and we’re honored to have you with us as we continue the journey.

Here’s to the next million.
