Dimension X - The Lost Race

This is the classic story, "The Lost Race." Originally broadcast by NBC on May 20, 1950.

[@Perktube1]

I remember as a kid picking up stories on obscure late night AM stations. It was a lot of fun listening and using my imagination.

[@lawriearm]

I love radio shows...what a shame these great programs don't get played on regular radio anymore.

[@mattysykes2121]

BBC radio four extra is great for old shows

[@rocketdave719]

Wisconsin Public Radio has been airing Old Time Radio Drama every weekend since I was a kid. That's where I first heard a lot of these shows.

[@timmy18135]

I miss them just like I miss jack benny

[@bandccoresohio]

If not for utube my generation would never experience theese great shows.. i cant sleep Without them.. they should play them on am radio a lot better than that garbage talk radio. .. i find this better than t.v. i draw my own picture in my mind witch also probably provides growth of the brain definitely stimulates it... anyway i never even liked sci fi till i heard theese ...if my children the wife and i aren't listening to theese we're listening to the bible or bible stories.... great old fashioned life.. i raise my youngsters rather old fashioned i was raised by my grandparents thank god!! Alot of americans and the worlds lost its respect dignity honor and decency along with losing good old fashioned entertainment. ... todays media is brainwashing materials

[@RomneyGack]

+Chad Gatter Yes, so much of talk radio is a one sided conversation. A person could listen to these and work or go to sleep and not get upset over the world today.

[@HarrisonsFord]

I pity your children, you sound godawful.

[@jugghead-1975]

dick liddle u can find alot of these thru podcasts ... much more than here , been listening for years thru podcasts just recently started listening here ... just some 411

[@bobrobertson3558]

Amen brotha! I agree with you 100%, and I was born in the 70's !!

[@alanfenick1103]

Thanks for providing the program. Great sound quality!

[@johns.8082]

Sitting around the radio listening to stories being told was the modern equivalent of tales told around campfires for centuries.

[@skidzholeshot1316]

lol the modern equivelent IS STILL sitting round camfires telling stories

[@thekaiser4333]

"Campfires"? Nonsense. Fires are strictly prohibited in concentration camps. Health and safety regulations.

Thoughtful Sci fi is so apt for opening the doors of perception!

[@gspendlove]

When I was in my 20s, a comic-book company did full-color reprints of the old EC comics from the fifties. The horror comics, sure, but also Weird Science and Weird Science-Fantasy. These old-time radio shows feel like adaptations of those three- and four-page sci-fi comic-book stories. I loved them and I love these shows.

[@OtterLakeFlutes]

I love it when something like this graces some weird frequency on shortwave or even a couple times on nighttime broadcast AM; I always feel like it's someone wanting to send some time-traveling signal chills down my spine (esp. on Halloween). I try to not look at a video feed and let my mind picture the story in my head.

[@Xeranxies]

Picturing the story in your head is exactly what people use to do before TV, the family would gather around the radio and enjoy entertainment like this.

[@MacHamish]

I love these vintage program's, thank for uploading them.

[@tweakiepop]

I like the genuinely blue collar sounding geezers, really warms you to the story.... there’s some classic complainin’ -brilliant

[@dumpling3309]

I come from looking at German novels called "Utopia Zukunftsroman". There is an issue called Dimension X, series 166. I believe it was first written in French as La dimension X.

[@betsya7054]

I really enjoyed this...fear of change messes with us all

Author: Murray Leinster Story: The Lost Adapted by Ernest Kinoy

[@neilreynolds3858]

Thanks, I was trying to remember who wrote it.

[@2400dimension]

That was crazy good. Growing up my parents didn't let me watch a lot of T.V. instead me and the other kids had cassette tapes of old Bible stories. Listening to this really took me back, it was great and to think I only found all this because I was modding Fallout 4 and someone had put this in as a radio mod.

[@SocktheWorm]

Was it Old World Radio Boston? Or another mod that adds even more radio plays?

[@2400dimension]

Yeah it was the old world one

[@SocktheWorm]

Huh. Are you talking about X Minus One, or was Dimension X on there, too? I don't remember it being one of the stations.

[@2400dimension]

No it wasn't but its all relatively similar

[@SocktheWorm]

2400dimension Dimension X directly preceded X Minus One and even has many of the same episodes. To be honest, X Minus One is about the only OWR station I listen to. I have a DCR mod to add another hundred or so tracks that spice it up without breaking theme.

[@CyanBlackflower]

Thanks for uploading this great classic!!

Every October I feed myself silly on OTR. Thanks for the great mind grub.

[@EdwardGerman]

This was a great story!

[@dadfinch8435]

I agree about the sleeping can't do it without my fix of sci-fi thanks

A lifeboat wouldn't work in space . No air or water .

YES, Our world is Alien. Sadness can only be an emotion of hope. The Why is a kind of communication identity that keeps us moving. Why talk that way? Brian~Koller

"Monsters from the Id" -- just like Forbidden Planet but without Robbie the Robot.

Illustration looks like one of the StarTrek's Borg ships.

[@donthebaptistestes6670]

I remember the Borg ships being square.

[@Mality]

If you were Stevie Wonder, it might look like a Borg ship.
