Dimension X, Vol. 1

Dimension X was one of old-time radio's first adult science fiction shows. Though it only ran for a short time, the show made its mark by adapting short stories written by some of the best known masters of the genre-Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Kurt Vonnegut, and others. Writers Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts adapted the stories, occasionally contributing original scripts of their own.The show, promising "e;adventures in time and space, told in future tense,"e; transported listeners from their everyday existence to new worlds and foreign landscapes, where alien encounters and rocket ship adventures were no more unusual than a stroll through a park.Episodes include"e;With Folded Hands"e; by Jack Williamson, starring Peter Capell and Philip Bourneuf "e;The Report on the Barnhouse Effect"e; by Kurt Vonnegut, starring Santos Ortega and Bob Hastings "e;No Contact"e; by George Lefferts and Ernest Kinoy, starring Wendell Holmes and Lawson Zerbe "e;Knock"e; by Fredric Brown, starring Arnold Moss and Luis van Rooten "e;Almost Human"e; by Robert Bloch, starring Santos Ortega and Rita Lynn "e;The Embassy"e; by Donald Wollheim, starring Joseph Julian and Berry Kroeger "e;The Green Hills of Earth"e; by Robert Heinlein, starring Ken Williams and Nelson Olmsted "e;Beyond Infinity"e; by Villiers Gerson, starring Les Damon and Lotte Stavisky "e;Hello Tomorrow"e; by George Lefferts, starring Nancy Olson and Santos Ortega "e;Time and Time Again"e; by H.
