X Minus One - No Contact (#1)

[@yeah_right88]

I'm a millennial in my 30s and listen to these awesome shows every morning on my work commute. Thank you !

[@spikeisking007]

I'm 96 and still listen to the great radio shows!

[@deborahcadabra-w5z]

Thank you for my bedtime stories. I love them, I’m 66 and can’t sleep without them. Thanks for the great work team.

[@joshnoakes1992]

These shows are still better than what’s on TV today

[@swordsmen8856]

True

[@mygaffer]

The performances and writing had to carry them. Although if you listen to a wide range of radio programs from before the explosion of television in the 50's and 60's you'll find that they put out some mediocre shows as well. I do like nearly all of the X Minus One productions.

[@salenasmith3533]

Another great show!! I am surprised at how entertaining these are! When I was a kid I always thought that sitting around the radio listening to stories would be boring, but how wrong I was! These stories are absolutely enthralling!

[@roelienpostma2367]

Indeed

[@jeremybear573]

By far one of the best episodes of x minus one!

[@HLife719]

Heard this series and others on American Forces Network (AFN) Frankfurt as a kid almost every night. Gun Smoke, Our Miss Brooks, Have Gun will Travel, Yours Truly Johnny Dollar and The Shadow Knows brought a lot of color and enjoyment before bed time for a little boy. On Saturday mornings it was Big John and Sparky I didn’t want to miss with my father. Thanks for uploading these unforgotten gems!

[@deadjuice1880]

When I worked in carts at a retail store, I found these on the Internet, and had to download them all onto a MP3 player with like maybe 30MGs of storage. What times it is now, to be able to listen to a 100+ collection from my phone. 😌

[@tylertripp4730]

These are great - thanks for sharing !

[@timeindigenoustimeseeker7059]

I never thought I would hear THESE again

[@betsya7054]

Another great one. Ty

[@erikmidboe8871]

Its amazing to think these where usually done live. The studio was also a foley studio. Live performance with sound effects done in real time.

[@wanettarenay8215]

I used to do a live radio show called the waning moon, I was all the actors, the sound effects person and the producer. the show featured live dramatizations of horror tales

[@rogpile]

@@wanettarenay8215 When was this broadcast? What radio station...or maybe a podcast?

[@mak_attakks]

@@rogpile this is from 1955 according to the video description

These are wonderful shows. Sit back and relax; close your eyes and listen. Participate in The Theater of the Imagination.

[@fromthesidelines]

As heard on Sundays at 8pm(et), through June 1955.

[@joehill4094]

Some of this voice acting is suprisingly good, I wasnt expecting such a good performance.

[@OTRR]

Here's the cast list, according to Goldin. Several of them are veteran voice actors. Bill Smith, Donald Buka, Ernest Kinoy (writer), George Lefferts (writer, adaptor), Ken Williams, Luis Van Rooten, Matt Crowley, Wendell Holmes, William Griffis, Don Pardo (announcer), Fred Weihe (director), William Welch (producer)

[@davidarundel6187]

An entirely new radio series to listen to , with interest . This wasn't broadcast where I live - southwest Pacific Namaste 🙏

Another classic program by presented by Old Time Radio Research. Enjoyed this first episode and while checking others, I recognized some written by Ray Bradbury so gotta a lot to look forward to. Thanks again for your posting of these classic radio programs .

[@Art-jl6pt]

I’m too lazy to look up Ray Bradbury episodes- are they any good?

[@terryhaines8351]

"Your announcer... Don Pardo"! He went on to the Price is Right on TV.

[@fromthesidelines]

He soon gave way to Fred Collins for the rest of the series.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

Don Pardo ... the Saturday Night Live announcer for 40+ years?⁉

Ooooo old sci-fi stories! Though I suppose it's probably only old to me as I'm only nearing 17.

Watch out for that excessive, recessive gene. Plays dirty pool.

A knockout.

[@heavenofinvention]

Listen to the Dimension X version for comparison. Dimension X and X Minus One have some episodes in common. I tend to favor Dimension X. Wendell Holmes played the Skipper in the D X version, in this one he’s Charly. Great fun to compare different productions of the same story.

[@denisenoemyschizotypaldiso3755]

Whether intended or unintended, this 1955 episode had a real-life message about a "5th column" of communists in the US.

Well folks it looks like the age-old question 'is there life on other planets' has finally been solved! There isn't any, because some random person on the internet said so! :-)

i laugh everytime i hear dates. they’re way off. it may be centuries before these things happen. for instance, frequent space travel is nowhere near here yet. it started to seem that way during the Space Shuttle program until they started blowing up on a regular basis.
