- X Minus One [x-minus-one]
X Minus One was a science fiction radio drama that aired on NBC from April 24, 1955, to January 9, 1958, for a total of 124 episodes. The show struggled to find a large following due to occupying various time slots throughout its run. It was an extension of Dimension X, which aired from 1950-51. The show's stories were adapted from popular science fiction magazines of the time, Astounding and Galaxy. The adaptations were handled by writers Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts, who also created original stories. Some episodes featured stories by famous authors like Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Poul Anderson.
The program began with announcer Fred Collins delivering a countdown, followed by an introduction that set the stage for the futuristic adventures to come. The series was canceled after its 126th broadcast, and a revival attempt in the early 1970s with an experimental episode failed to bring back the show. However, the series was re-released in podcast form in 2007, and in 2008, Counter-Productions Theatre Company adapted and staged three episodes for theater.
- You Are There [you-are-there]
You Are There is an American historical educational radio and television series that aired on CBS Radio and CBS Television from 1947 to 1957. Created by Goodman Ace, the show combined history with modern technology, transporting a network newsroom back in time to report on significant historical events. The series featured the reporting talents of John Charles Daly, Don Hollenbeck, and Richard C. Hottelet, who had been wartime correspondents during World War II.
Originally titled "CBS Is There," the show changed its name to "You Are There" beginning with its 24th episode. A total of 90 episodes were broadcast, though only 75 episodes are known to exist in recorded form. The program presented historic events as if they were unfolding live, complete with interviews, sound effects, and in-character dialogue. This approach made history more engaging and accessible to radio listeners by presenting it through a familiar format.
