The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast Episode 271 - The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler
Hallam wanted to get out of space - but even more he wanted to make a fortune first. Now he had found a way to do it - by selling - The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Arthur Bertram Chandler was born in England in 1912, forty four years later he moved to Australia and became an Australian citizen. He wrote more than 150 short stories starting with This Means War! in 1944. He also wrote more than 40 novels. He is perhaps most well-known for his John Grimes novels and for the Rim World Series.
He was a merchant marine officer, sailing the world in everything from steamers to troopships for three decades. This experience is often woven into his writing. His descriptions of life aboard spaceships and the relationships between members of the crew come from his experience aboard seagoing ships.
His debut on our podcast also marks the debut of Space Travel magazine in July 1958. Space Travel magazine was published for only three issues, although the magazine got its start as Imaginative Tales in 1954 before the short lived rebranding. We will find our story on page 100, The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In the sweet Venusian spring, when iridescent butterflies swarmed and deer-things scampered, it was both necessary and good for Richard Farris to kill George Pearce. The Venus Evil by Chester S. Geier.

That is an entertaining story. You made fitting artwork for the picture.
Thank you, Scott 😊
welcome to liberty hall. you can spit on the mat and call the cat a bastard
New here. Found the Lost Sci-Fi collections through my local library's audio books. Cant tell how much I enjoy this. Been a fan of short format tales. Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, etc. After getting interested in audio books about two, three years ago tore through the short stories and novella of Lovecraft, HG Wells, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C Clarke, Ben Bova. So many good tales. and found so many more through Lost Sci-Fi.
@scrap.catastrophe Wecome to, as far as I know, the best in classic sci-fi audio books.
Scott is the best 👌
✌️💚 🇬🇧
It is a tremendous archive. High quality, passionately curated, consistent.
Thanks Scott
@@lesallison9047 yep
I love bees. This is an interesting depiction of alien Hymenoptera.
Vegan dream weed sounds very interesting 🤔 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks again, Scott, for a very fun story.
Isn't all dream weed vegan? 🧠🌈
Insomnia...where I get to listen to Scott narrate a vintage scifi story penned by a pommy Aussie.
5am on the east coast of down under.
I'm in England 8.30pm
I'm hoping to get to sleep soon. I'll say G-day mate.
@lesallison9047 Cheers, Les!
I wish you’d add a time stamp for when the story starts. It would be very helpful.

"delta sections"
interesting fact about spaceships in that universe: the ship CLASS is "delta" (quite small), and the crew always changed the formal name to something similar but funny.
eg. "delta sectans" becomes "delta sections"
oh, and they all are drunkards ... and lotharios
i had not considered this fact before, but this story shows that abc deliberately includes it in his stories
p.s. in case it's not obvious, the fact that i can just rattle off trivia about those books means that i am a FAN FAN FAN of abc
