[@gregorydahl]

It is amazing that a rocketship like that was built for a radio show back then .

[@jugghead-1975]

Best show ever !! X-1 was and is the shit !

This show introduced me and created my healthy addiction to OTR in 2013!

Although Crowder is obviously meant to be an unlikeable character, and certainly fatally flawed with hubris and impatience, he's also got numerous admirable qualities, like being so fair-minded as to pay a man for trying to murder him. I greatly enjoyed this tale as a character study. "Only sentimentality is evil!" A line which the story portrays as false, yet I find myself agreeing strongly with the general concept, as a result of my own life experiences.

The script was originally presented on "DIMENSION X" on August 16, 1951. 28:56- "Tonight, hear Colgate University versus Georgetown University on the 'COLLEGE BOWL QUIZ', on the NBC RADIO NETWORK." **chimes**

"We use money. We don't let expense provide a rationale for not beginning a project." My, what dialogue!

[@matthewecrowder]

Joe DeSantis was another radio veteran. So talented.

[@jugghead-1975]

The best... at least in the sci fi realm

[@dontaylor7315]

This episode creates a picture of the naked face of capitalism as vivid as an oil painting by one of the Old Masters from the golden age of portraiture.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

What if th

[@jugghead-1975]

Love your stuff ! Sus and escape are probably the best that golden age of radio had to offer ! But I really REALLY enjoy Nightfall from the Canadians! Little bit later early 80s I think but masterfully done !

[@dwh751]

Why are all the leaders in these stories so bad tempered?
