  • Great Recovery. Love The Oldies

    I think this recovery of these old science fiction radio dramas is fantastic, however there are some episodes missing. I know it may be hard to find all the pieces, but it is a bummer when you get hooked on a show and then can’t finish it.

  • Bi Bi, Scifi Fri!

    Got to wonder if anyone in the booth even listens to these before they are posted. Pro tip: If you want to run a boring eight part (i.e. 8 weeks long) series that is more camp comedy than science fiction, be prepared to lose some listeners.
