Slack Slacker Retro Radio Presents X Minus One Inside Story

 

This X Minus One episode is eerily reminiscent of how the U.S. treated Its Own Citizens during the pandemic. Well, we got the inside story on how a deadly virus will be handled in the future. Spoiler alert: Some things never change. Thanks for a nosey free press, we get the scoop!

Here are the details of this groundbreaking program:

Initially a revival of NBC's Dimension X (1950-51), X Minus One is widely considered among the finest science fiction dramas ever produced for radio. The first 15 episodes were new versions of Dimension X episodes. Still, the remainder were adaptations of newly published science fiction stories by leading writers in the field, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Frederik Pohl, and Theodore Sturgeon, along with a few original scripts.[1]

Episodes of the show include adaptations of Robert Sheckley's "Skulking Permit," Bradbury's "Mars Is Heaven," Heinlein's "Universe" and "The Green Hills of Earth", " Pohl’s "The Tunnel under the World," J. T. McIntosh’s "Hallucination Orbit," Fritz Leiber’s "A Pail of Air" and George Lefferts' "The Parade."

P.S. Oh yeah, I need to be honest and upfront with you. I'm in slacker mode. Full slacker mode. That's the reason you're getting retro radio today instead of a fiery episode of issues on the fire. When I came back from vacation, I was overwhelmed by the political pilot that was going on in Washington, which I reviewed. I saw the conflicts the Megalomaniac was engaging in to deflect and misdirect the American people from the real issues facing "We the People" on the domestic front. Healthcare for one is front and center come January 1.

Just to name a few, the hottest issues de Jour are Russia, China, Nigeria, Gaza, as well as the outright murders being committed against Venezuelans in boats being considered as drug traffickers without proof or due process. Taking all of us into consideration, I just thought I'd take some more time off to digest this madness and put together a coherent post to deliver. And quite honestly, this is going to take more than a minute to get it right. In the meantime, the audio podcast linked above is something to keep you busy, Amused, and interested until I return.

Still, you must admit this is some wild, unhinged shit, and in a way exciting to witness in real time.
