It's amazing that these radio episodes are still entertaining in the 21st Century.

Isn't that a credit to the writers and script writers, that they penned stories that engage people of all ages thru the ages! What a testament to leave to future listeners that still get turned on to these I suppose historic recordings. I'm in liverpool England and I adore these shows and the plethora like them whether it's Suspense, The Shadow, Philip Marlowe, Johnny Dollar, The Twilight Zone and many more and I'm sure Americans love some English radio shows? These shows are so good!!

This was the first X Minus One story I heard on a classic radio show program on Chicago radio many years ago & I have been a fan of the series since. 👽
