Story by sci-fi master Theodore Sturgeon, who takes his spin here at a space soap opera. People want to be certified for space, so they come to Curbstone. Misfits are sent to outside planets, but they must have a partner of the opposite sex. It's a way of colonizing other planets. These ships only fit 2 people. 46% never make it. Add a love triangle and there you have it. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
Credits (Goldin): Craig McDonnell, Patsy O'Shea, Richard Hamilton, Charlotte Manson, Bob Hastings, Wendell Holmes, Theodore Sturgeon (author), Ernest Kinoy (adaptor), William Welch (producer), Bob Mauer (director), Fred Collins (announcer)

I first heard this program on a cassette tape. I checked it out from a public library in 1980. It's 40 years later and I still enjoy listening to the program!😀😀👍👍

One of my favorites. I first heard of this show when on family vacation as a kid. My dad always had a knack for finding old radio shows and it was A Pail Of Air that had me hooked. Thanks for uploading them.

I hope Charon never runs afoul of a Karen. It would be even more confusing than usual.
