Colin Baker and John Pertwee? Best two-Doctor episode ever.

[@chrish9852]

Refreshingly XLNT production. . .don't wreck the story with inaudible volume like so many amateurs do. Great narrators. Thanks!

[@BuildingCenter]

The most frightening, and likeliest, horror in this entertaining collection is the prediction of elevator surcharges.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

What brillant stories! The "light of other days" was a moving story indeed. Thanks for giving us these treasures.

I read "Slow Glass" years ago and never forgot it. thanks for posting that story, it is beautiful

[@aishalotter9995]

moo moo I've read slow glass years ago too looking forward to hearing it I'm on the first one now and enjoying it so far!!!

[@davidcovington901]

Reference is to The Light Of Other Days at 1:09:30. Author Bob Shaw wrote other tales using slow glass after this one.

The first one was heart breaking :(

[@spongebob358]

yeah! heart breakingly stupid!

[@slashbash1347]

Good God, you're right!

[@mostlynew]

Xanider - In similar 30 min radio drama (title ?) alien visitors announce their arrival from space, only to dissolve when they land their saucer in a birdbath

[@kyleaegis5613]

Intelligent enough to travel across the star systems and yet... no knowledge of dihydrogen monoxide? Did they discover forms of propulsion without ever studying chemistry? Did they not have any water containing planets nor celestial bodies in their home system? Never come across water in any form whilst traveling the universe? I mean... they called it blue rock. They seem to have had no knowledge whatsoever of water. Seemingly no knowledge of liquids either! 21:34 The aliens want to explore our wide expanses of blue rock... It indeed was sad but those aliens must've been mighty stupid!

[@MuantanamoMobile]

@@spongebob358 heart breakingly stupid indeed, considering that water in various forms is abundant in the universe because its components, hydrogen, and oxygen, are among the most abundant elements in the universe, from basic dihydrogen monoxide, deuterium oxide to superionic water.

[@Noises]

Oh this is bliss. An hour and a half ago, I thought to myself, "Hey Noises, you know how you've been complaining lately about how all the creepypastas you used to like are now just collections of basic-white-girl "omg, so, like, there was this hella creepy guy who I didn't like who liked me, hashtag terrifying," or "one night I was followed ...I think. I'm not sure but I was like, so scared omg," and you're hating it? Why not just youtube search "sci if stories?" And here I am. Listening to Colin Baker, Dennis Waterman and Jon God Damned Pertwee For Crying Out Loud OBE, KoToR, PhD etc etc

Great stories and great narrators all! Just to let you folks know that I have just finished my third audiobook and this is in a very similar vein to these 8 short stories. If you would like to know more then have a peek at the trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apCziYZvm7iUisU to discover more.

[@whatyoudo9773]

loved the pacing and intrigue of the first story, it is silly that their culture would not understand rain and its dangers, but still it was a powerful and wondrous story, really like the readers in this series as well, except the lady, her voicing of the young couple seemed totally off

[@auntyJanette]

Not entirely a silly concept. We can’t live under water, or without water. We would die in days on Kapoks planet. Too much too little. Excellent reading and listenable stories. ☺️

well the first one escalated quickly at the end O,-,O

The Light of Other Days (Slow Glass) is a story I have heard about for years, but only just heard. Thank you

[@eisenhertz6347]

Good stories,thanks a lot!

[@Closetscholar]

Water as a surprise weakness is ridiculous. Perhaps there is some intelligent civilization somewhere that is unaware of water. Perhaps water would be dangerous to them as well. They would certainly learn about water and the danger it represents to them long before they reach our planet.

[@sonjaholmes7163]

one would hope, considering it's one of the most common substances in our galaxy...

Um, wasn't that the twist in Signs ?

[@paulrussell1207]

They know that we evolved thumbs to climb trees. So they know what trees are. But they think the oceans are expanses of blue rock, okkkkk. 24 hours after I listened to this, its still annoying me somehow lol

[@crowtep1]

I may just be a noob and there is a way but it would be nice to have a way to skip around even time stamps in the description would work.

Sounds like a good task for you. Do it yourself instead of asking someone else to do it for your convenience, do it for others like yourself. This is a simple example of what is wrong with society today. If you want something #you first.

[@chrisc1257]

Shaw is very underrated.

[@davidcovington901]

Well-appreciated. Wiki: "Light of Other Days" was shortlisted for the Nebula Award for Best Short Story in 1966, and for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1967. Calling the story a classic, Algis Budrys said that it "tends to make people weep".

Enjoying the bizarre 1984 Olympics music in the intros.

[@tomcurran8470]

I just bought some slow glass on my Telemart TV, LOL

[@ronaldronca7547]

Colin Baker merely put a twist on the Hindenburg disaster....same landing site, similar ship dimensions , weather conditions and pulsations, even the silver fluid like bulk covering the landing area is a description of the ruined German airship.....likely he was there.

[@BuildingCenter]

I can accept water-free life. No problem. I’m curious which solvents obtained instead.

[@DavidTeerTheBackyardUfologist]

Cool

[@indigodoctor77]

Many folks are missing the point of the first story. The water is not important as the whole story is about communication and how even the best intentions can be misconstrued. watch the movie, it explains it all better.

[@davidcovington901]

Right! Water is not what you're meant to leave the tale thinking about.

[@DarthVaderX31]

Arrival... my very first thought was why hadn’t they been directed to land in the vast desert landscape of Nevada, California or Arizona?

Hi John, 'Dream Fighter' was read by Martin Kemp.

[@faybeemaybemill8567]

It tells u the writer in the intro 2 each story.

Bob Shaw is 1:09:30. I will leave the rest to Wiki & you to put up.

[@welshpete12]

Not a patch on the stuff I used to read when a teenager , By people like Isaac Asimov.

[@davidcovington901]

1:09:30 by Bob Shaw was written 1966 for Analog Science Fiction and Fact. This tale and others using "slow glass" are more than a "patch" Same publishers did Asimov's Foundation series. And Isaac had a long career, 1950s - 1980s. So, same era. Maybe you were looking for something all action-adventure with nothing philosophical. Mire Star Wars than Star Trek. That's ok.

Wait so the rain just killed everything no no no this can't be right what is this a childs version?

[@astridl1848]

Most of the stories are engaging and fun to listen to. The first one is the best, though evolution without water...is unlikely, to put it mildly. Some of the stories made me laugh. Some made me smile. Only the main character of the slow glass story is absolutely despicable, wanting to murder his pregnant wife and calling her a !%&$@. I was hoping he'd get what he deserved, instead of that absurd, warped Hallmark ending. The other slimeballs in previous stories did get what was coming to them eventually, so that story was a creepy disappointment. The poor fool of a wife should've at least gotten away from the creep. Still, most of the other stories have been fun, so I'm hoping it gets better again. If not, it'll have to be a thumbs down from me. That kind of evil is nothing to make light of or overlook. As Jesus said so well, every crime starts in the heart, and it's the heart that He'll judge.

[@curiousfever85]

I didn't trust the alien in the first one. He got what he deserved can't trust those dirty aliens. Like really he didn't know about rain he was a fraud. All jokes aside story made me sad poor kind alien 👽

Thank you for your excellent guide to this literature. It has really helped me decide which ones to listen to. Even some of the comments, and the comments on the comments, ad absurdum, are stupid. I bet. Stupid writers, stupid publishers, stupid readers. All the best stuff was never written, because they were unwilling to take a chance to go public with their imaginations. Because guess why?
