I usually have difficulty with Asimov's stories. I am never sure if he is referring to a scientific principle or a social obscurity and get lost, as a result. I was a bit confused during the incarceration sections. I might have gotten lost on the who's whos and their objectives. (Perhaps the read would clarify things....) But it may be moot being a couple years past the 60 - too old???? 😂 This reminds me of the Star Trek episode " A Taste of Armegeddon".

Excellent suspension was added into the enactment of this story. I was on edge throughout much of it. (Ah, the overacting required by "hysterical" actresses of that time. 🙄 LOL)

This story has similarities to a couple Twilight Zone episodes - "I Sing the Body Electric" (in being a part of daily life) and "The Brain Center at Whipples". There's also a little "Terminator". If you look at how much computers and the internet are in every facet of our lives, we are living this now. But the rral question is . . . Where IS Joe?🧮🧮📺

I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you are enjoying them! I hope to draw younger listeners so we can keep these treasures alive. It is funny to me when I feel like I need to explain something as common as a telephone operator and a slide rule, but the younger generation has no frame of reference on these things.

Thanks for your input. Since these stories can be found on other channels and on websites and archives across the internet, I feel that the way I can add value is my commentary, the script scrolling, and the historical glossary. I try for 2 min of introduction, so on any video you can skip the first two min and get right to the story. I appreciate you choosing my channel to access these radio gems.

OMG - Fred Weigh - my parents knew him. (there was a very well to do area near Shenorock, NY, northern Westchester County) we went to his house. i remember that visit very well. i don’t know in particular why. he had one of the very first stereo record players. he played a record of a steam engine traveling from the right speaker across the room to the left speaker. and, for PETE’S sake, i just found who he was. he directed this radio show, which was very popular, so he must have been quite big in the business. my dad was a Broadway actor, so we knew a lot of people. (not that anyone knows who i’m talking about, but as little girl i had a big crush on Bud Whitney and later found out, he was a big deal person, too. i also liked Rufus Smith a lot and he did have red hair. He sang They Call the Wind Mariah in Paint Your Wagon. i loved that show. (Do Not think it was Anything like the movie!! They couldn’t have ruined more than if baboon had produced it !!! 😡 and a baboon would have cared more!!)

Excellent again, I2R. This was one of the 1st Dimension X rebroadcasts I listened to, in spellbound awe, on late-night AM radio as a child in the 70's. As always, the description, historical glossary & preamble elevate your channel to apex-level OTR. Thanks.
@roberthoffman7695Ай бұрын
just now seeing this. I, likewise, recall radio rebroadcasts of many shows in the 70s. In the Los Angeles area, 93 KHJ - and yes - after midnight. Dimension X - x - x - x rings a bell, but not until I reheard these, would I have remembered. My siblings and I would borrow records from the library of old radio programs, but most of those were comedies, as I recall.

Epic Heinlein Dimension X epi w/an edifying preamble. Excellent again, I2R & much-appreciated. It is this listener's hope that you'll add additional episodes of DX, X-1, CBSRMT etc at your leisure (& by "at your leisure" I mean make that sh-t for now lol). Also: The inclusion of scripts is a nice touch, especially useful for total DX geeks and those who prefer to read along including the hearing-impaired.
@michaelkottlerАй бұрын
I don't listen to Dimension X often, but when I do I tune in to Insights 2 Reality's YT channel, the discriminating radio-play enthusiast's choice for thoughtfully-selected episodes and edifying, in-depth monographs overflowing with salient information. Thanks, I2R! In the interest of full-disclosure: I do listen to radio-plays frequently including Dimension-X, the follow-up to NBC's epoch-making X-1 (and a plethora of other shows like CBS Radio MT, Quiet, Please and so on), and while there are several extremely good YT resources for OTR, contemporary radio-plays and audiobooks, I2R's addition of interesting background material on each epi and the friendly, relaxed, inviting and natural flow of the preamble to each episode places it in a category all its own. In short, insights 2 Reality is 100% dope so if you're on the fence about subscribing to yet another radio-play channel: this is the droid you're looking for.

Brilliant. I was introduced to Heinlein during a Greyhound Bus trip across the U.S. Methuselahs Children (If I got the title right). Also brilliant is the advance warning about the 'noise' from the recordings. Simple truth: I was able to follow along to the end and am glad for it. Great job and thanks for being brave to submit this!
@michaelkottlerАй бұрын
Cool. I was introduced to Heinlein at an early age via my father's extensive library which included a myriad sci-fi authors' material including PK Dick, Bradbury, Heinlein, Asimov , Sturgeon et al and while at age seven I didn't fully "grok" every nuance and salient plot point, each story and novel made an impression on me including Stranger in a Strange Land, Venus on the Half Shell (which made me wish I was the protagonist!), "The Veldt" (and other stuff from The Illustrated Man), Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, A Scanner Darkly, and so on. As I matured, I revisited every one of these authors' works and realized through the lens of age, education and experience just how prescient, relevant, often amusing and amazing in general these works are. So yeah, what you said: Brilliant!

@@michaelkottler Friday got me! It was then I recognized those writers were holding back. I've been to Comic-Cons since the late 70s - and the last 20 years solid (for various reasons). My point (boast) is that I was able to meet with Bradbury during an LA Museum "lecture" he gave in the early 90s. Give or take. What charmed me about him was that he was charmed by me. Oh. My. My ultimate take away was him saying to me - "Please, my friend, please just don't stop writing - you'll figure it out." Me: Yessir! :0) Thanks for the thoughts.
