It's A Wonderful Life by Lux Radio Theater

Tue, 24 Dec 2024 06:01:51 GMT

It's Christmas Eve! It's A Wonderful Life has been a part of my family's Christmas experience my entire life. Back in 1947, Lux Radio Theater created a radio adaptation of It’s A Wonderful Life. This production stars Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed reprising their iconic roles as George and Mary. Just like the movie, George goes on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, guided by the bumbling yet endearing angel Clarence, as he learns just how much one life can touch so many others. Filled with warmth, love, and timeless holiday spirit, this broadcast brings the magic of Frank Capra’s film to life in the golden age of radio.

Security Risk by Ed M Clinton Jr.

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 05:01:36 GMT

This week’s story is “Security Risk” by Ed M Clinton Jr. Over the years I’ve heard a few people say that if there’s a task you don’t want to do, do it once really badly and no one will ever ask you again. Here we learn that if there’s a fight you really don’t want to get involved in, all you have to do is make both sides think they can’t trust you.

Pen Pal by Stephen Marlowe

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 05:01:06 GMT

This week, we have “Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe. We meet Matilda, a young woman looking for love by submitting letters to a literary magazine. That’s something much more common when the story was published in 1951 and probably pretty close to using a dating app these days. When she thinks she’s found the love of her life, things get really strange.

The Eternal Wall by Raymond Gallun

Thu, 01 Aug 2024 05:01:27 GMT

This week’s story is "The Eternal Wall" by Raymond Gallun. The Eternal Wall is a story that weaves together themes of love, tragedy, and the passage of time. It reminds me of the 1973 Gene Roddenberry movie Genesis II, or Futurama. Both stories deal with people who suddenly find themselves in the far flung future. This story will tug on your heart strings a little more than either of those, though.

Beyond Lies the Wub by Philip K Dick

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 05:01:30 GMT

This week we have a story called “Beyond Lies the Wub” by Philip K Dick. This story explores themes of empathy, the ethics of survival, and the often troubling intersection between human ambition and the natural world. Through the interactions between the crew and the wub, Philip K. Dick masterfully weaves a narrative that questions the boundaries of humanity and the nature of intelligence. It’s a story that proves the old saying “You are what you eat.”

The Man Who Remembered by Spiritus Dei

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 05:01:25 GMT

This week’s story is The Man Who Remembered, an original story by Spiritus Dei. We meet a young man named Randy, a man who found himself at the tender age of 29, just beginning to see his life take shape. He had a job he could tolerate, was contemplating the future with a newfound optimism, and was thinking about re-entering the world of romance. But Randy's plans took an unexpected detour when fate dealt him a fatal hand—an accident that ended his life and set him on a path through a surreal afterlife bureaucracy.

The Leech by Robert Sheckley

Thu, 30 May 2024 05:01:02 GMT

In this week’s story The Leech by Robert Sheckley, we explore a tale of a spore—a seemingly lifeless entity that has drifted through the cosmic void for millennia, until the fateful day it lands on Earth. Unbeknownst to humankind, this tiny seed holds within it a hunger that defies comprehension, an insatiable thirst for energy and mass. As it stirs to life and begins to grow, it falls to an unwitting professor and an overconfident general to confront the unknowable.

Sweet Tooth by Robert F Young

Our story this week is“Sweet Tooth” by Robert F Young. If we ever do actually meet aliens there will be plenty of people who will be worried about ending up in a “To Serve Man”-type scenario. But it might turn out human beings aren’t the ones who have to worry about being devoured by our visitors.

Operation Distress by Lester Del Ray

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 06:01:27 GMT

As human beings venture out into the cosmos, it’s pretty certain they’re going to run into all sorts of unexpected threats to their health and well-being. It happened to explorers hundreds of years ago when European explorers arrived in the New World and were exposed to all sorts of new diseases… then they decided to return the favor by giving blankets infected with small pox to the people they met. Of course it’s also entirely possible that explorers out in space will run into problems that are a little more familiar. As is the case in this week’s story, Operation Distress by Lester Del Ray.

This week’s story is Bad Memory by Patrick Fahy. There’s nothing wrong with making big changes in your life to achieve your dreams, but if you’re going to do that, sometimes writing those goals down is a good idea for more than one reason.

Chain of Command by Stephen Arr

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 06:00:34 GMT

Back in the 1950’s when Stephen Arr wrote Chain of Command, it was pretty common to imagine the worst possible unintended consequences from the atomic age. This story does revolve around animals who are forever changed by atomic radiation, but at the end of the day the message of this story is that the chain of command is the same for everyone, even radioactive mutant mice.

An Elephant for the Prinkip by LJ Stecher

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 06:00:53 GMT

Have you ever taken the time to read the Terms of Service before you click “Accept?” Of course not. No one does. It’s basically become a meme at this point. In this week's story, An Elephant For the Prinkip by L. J. Stecher, we learn it’s probably a good idea to at least skim the fine print of any contract before you actually sign on the dotted line.

Dimension of the Lost by Keith Conrad

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 15:30:10 GMT

Pop culture over the past twenty years or so is riddled with stories about pioneering scientists visiting new worlds. In the 1990’s there was Sliders, there was also Stargate SG-1 with a different planet every week. In this week’s story "Dimension of the Lost," three scientists visit three different dimensions. Two of them have life-changing experiences, while the third ends up solving a mystery that has haunted humanity for generations.

$1000 a Plate by Jack McKenty

Thu, 04 Jan 2024 15:29:09 GMT

Light pollution is increasingly a problem in 2024. If you live in a big city, it’s a pretty good bet you can only see a handful of stars when you look up at the night sky. You would think the pioneering souls who move to the first colony on Mars wouldn’t have to deal with that issue quite as much. However in this week’s story “$1000 a Plate” by Jack McKenty our characters learn that you can’t avoid some problems even if you’re on the frozen tundra of Mars.
