They're out there. Gotta be. This is pre-Men In Black. Mr. Graphius requests a detective agency to find the Martian embassy in New York City in 1955. They think he's crazy, but for the $5000 finder's fee they can handle crazy. Then when mysterious events start to happen, they begin to wonder how crazy he really is. Fun story that should star Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
Credits (Goldin): William Zuckert; William Welch (producer), Donald A. Wollheim (author), George Lefferts (adoptor), Theo Goetz, Clarke Gordon, John Larkin, Jack Orrison, Virginia Payne, Daniel Sutter (director), Reese Taylor, Audrey Blum, Fred Collins (announcer)

Been listening to otr for about 25 years now. Everything from Gunsmoke to Xminus one to Johnny Dollar. I am heartened to see there are still folks keeping this genre available to us and for free! Thank you uploader! A very genuine thank you.

Thank goodness for these old shows having survived. Thank goodness for these old shows being in the public domain. Thank goodness for my first finding these on XM Radio going way back already; 20 years since I first bought a vehicle with an XM Radio trial subscription. I'm glad to have found _this_ particular episode, The Embassy, because hearing it here again helps me recall my first time hearing it in August 2006 as my fiancée and I were setting out on a three hour road trip. Thank you for having this right here for easy access.

Instead of him asking the police to take him to the hospital he tells them about martians, not smart.

I bet there really is a Martian Embassy.

Download this episode . Copies MUST be preserved . A request from the year 2050 . Nothing like this exists anymore !

This is not one of the better crafted episodes, though it's certainly memorable. The presentation is rushed and sloppy, particularly during the tea scene.
