Today we are nearing the conclusion of "10 More Great Sci-Fi Stories." This story is just too weird and wildly imaginative to not include in this list. A man repeatedly relives the same day, waking up every morning screaming. This Frederik Pohl story manages to be both highly original and explore popular themes of media paranoia of the era.

Today we selected a story that doesn't deal with the unusual aliens and fantastic elements so much, but delves into the psychology of complete human isolation. A man has been alone in an outpost in outer space for six years, and lives side by side with his delusions. Now that the time has come to relieve him of his duties, will he know what is real and what isn't?

It's our 300th episode! That's important to us, anyway, so we are celebrating with an extra whiz-bang extravaganza. It's a 90-minute episode of "The Big Show," the audio showcase of the most popular entertainers from 1951. We are calling this a tribute to Vaudeville, because this particular episode also features several hilarious comedy teams from the days of Vaudeville, brought out of retirement to recreate their acts, including "Smith and Dale," and "Baron Munchausen and Sharlie."

Another great Phil Harris and Alice Faye Show. Phil is worried about getting his tonsils removed and is getting no sympathy from anyone. A lot of sitcoms from the time dealt with this topic, but perhaps none of them as uniquely and hilariously as the writers, Ray singer and Dick Chevillat.
