I listened to this every night on WWL back in the 70s. Installed a radio and PA speaker up in the hog barns I worked nights in.

I love that you give the first run date ... it really does not seem so long ago, but now that we are in 2018... WOW! It is so fun to see what we imagined the world was going to be and where it has gone. It is so fun to see the similarities and differences.

We seem doomed, nay, condemned to repeat history, especially all the mistakes made throughout it.

[@SpiralMoss]

We're going through some strange times right now, very serious and challenging....

Neilus Geaney Isn’t it funny how we’re never prepared? 911 or disease it seems we’re never ready! If our leaders really cared about America someone would’ve had us at the ready! Instead all they care about is re-election! Right or Left doesn’t even matter. They all suck!

@@louisbrugnoni1291 I'm in Ireland Louis, but I hear you about history repeating itself. I love listening to these stories I find they help me to sleep. We're in lockdown here ourselves and I never in my wildest dreams thought we'd live through a pandemic. Hope you are ssfe and well 👍

next time I get called a lunatic, I'll say "thank you!"

[@UncleEarl97]

I don't think I remember this one from 42 years ago. Twists and turns in the tale and an ending you might not see coming. Enjoy, I did!

Sweet

[@realitycheck3363]

Is it possible that such a thing could happen?!? This is an American show!!! How TF do they think America started?!? Lol, this writer must have been as thick as my mother-in-law's ass!!! Also, writing things like, "No longer will the moon be a satellite of Earth"?!? WT actual F?!? Are they going to shove it under their arm, next to the morning newspaper, and take it somewhere else?!? Because I'm pretty sure that changing the Moon's orbit from around the Earth into its own orbit, is gonna be slightly more involved than this writer thought!!!

[@jeffb.i.5574]

The moon is not what it seems to be. EDIT: Let's face it some people are two faced...
