Dimension X

The Dimension X Radio Show ran from April 8, 1950 to September 29, 1951 for a total of 50 episodes. The first 13 episodes were broadcast live, and the remainder were pre-recorded. Dimension X was Radio’s early 1950′s premier series of adult science fiction tales. The series opened with The Outer Limit, an Ernest Kinoy adaptation of Graham Doar’s short story from The Saturday Evening Post (December 24, 1949), about alien contact. This story was very popular and over the next few years aired on several other Old Time Radio Shows such as X-1, Escape, Suspense, Beyond Tomorrow, Exploring tomorrow and probably others. A week later (April 15, 1950), the program presented Jack Williamson’s most famous story, With Folded Hands, first published in the July 1947 issue of Astounding Science Fiction.

Below is a list of all 50 episodes with their broadcast dates. Over time I will be adding each and everyone of these episodes to the Spacemen’s Luck website so you can hear these excellent programs yourself.
