Publisher's summary

"The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door."

A new crop of writers emerged from the dawning of the nuclear age, grappling with humankind's place in the universe. While imagining the wonders of space exploration and the rise of technological advancements, they questioned whether we were prepared to encounter aliens, or even control the machines and weapons we'd built ourselves.

These first episodes of the Dimension X series - including stories by Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Bloch, and Robert Heinlein - feature performances by Staats Cotsworth, Raymond Edward Johnson, Les Damon, Bill Lipton, Berry Kroeger, Jan Miner, Joan Alexander, and more.

The "Grand Daddy" of Radio Science Fiction

No losers here. If you are a SF fan you'll enjoy this collection over and over. I heard these radio broadcasts in the 1950s and still enjoy listening to them almost 60 years later.
Great stuff.

Astonishing Tales

A great radio program. Stories based on some of the greatest sci-fi writers stories. My favorites being Robert Heinlein and Ray Bradbury. This show reminds me of the tv shows like , the outer limits and the twilight zone. With shocking and surprising endings. Tales that also tell a moral. A great show plan to listen to more.

A way to travel back in time to 1950s America

The closest you will ever get to a real time travel experience. life was simple and superficial in 1950.

Old Timey Radio Dramas Once Again

Old Timey Radio Dramas Once Again

Many classic sci-fi authors got their starts in the pulp magazines of the '40s which gave rise to the radio dramas.

Fun stuff!
