The 1950s was the Cold War, so there are lots of stories like this. Setting: After the next atomic war in the U.S. A lead shield keeps people secure from the radiation, and they can't see the moon. The conflict: A couple argue. The obstinant man says they must stay inside. The weepy woman wants to go and see the "outsiders". While her husband is gone to a meeting, the woman opens the shield while her husband is gone. The man, Patrick, describes how wonderful it is outside. Or is it? The outside children have 7 fingers and 8 toes. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
Credits (Goldin): Bill Lipton, Frank Milano (as a cat), Fred Collins (announcer), Fred Weihe (director, transcriber), Fritz Leiber Jr. (author), George Lefferts (adaptor), Ian Martin, Joyce Gordon, William Welch (producer)

I've put comments on so many of these shows to show my appreciation of classic American radio from a very happy Englishman who loves all ur old school radio. Ok we have/had great radio but nothing can beat this or Nightline I think it's called from the early 80's, Twilight Zone, The Whistler, Johnny Dollar, Philip Marlowe, crikey the classics never stop do they!! This show tho just about pips the other shows apart from maybe CBSRMT and that's cuz Robert Dryden who stars in some of these starred in quite a few of those too. Anyway thanx for all the uploads from all ur listeners and there's lots my friend!!

If he has a "speaking" part in the play , he is one of the cast . Frank Milano as The Cat .

A very poetic view of fallout.

All three of the characters are horrid people, for various reasons. The worst is the wife.

**spoiler alert** What happened to the baby is awful.
