Dimension X Old Time Radio Program
Dimension X
Dimension X was one of the very few science fiction radio programs,
but it may very well have been the best. The program only lasted
from 1950-1951, but it showcased such science fiction golden age
writers as Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov,
and Kurt Vonnegut. Bradbury’s “Martian Chronicles” is a great example
of what science fiction radio programs can aspire to. The narrator
was Norman Rose, and the tag line was “DIMENSION XXXXXxxxxxxxxxx.”

All of our Old Time Radio Programs are in MP3 format. You
can play them on your computer, you can transfer them to MP3
players (like the IPod), but, by and large, you cannot play
them on stereos, walkmen, or car radios.
The sound quality of Old Time Radio Programs can vary greatly.
Some episodes are excellent, others you have to turn up the
volume a little and ignore the static. All of the episodes can
be listened to and enjoyed. You can listen to our free samples
to get a feel for how the programs sound. |

Each one of these stories is absolutely riveting. I was glued
to my earphones from start to finish. The sound is somewhat distorted,
but a few seconds into the story this hardly matters because one's
attention is entirely focused on the developing narrative. This download
is well worth $3.50. If you're not sure which program to buy, start
with this one. This one is a surefire winner.
(Editor's note - this was written about the Dimension X download
product.)
I'd never heard of Dimension X, but it has some great shows
written by Kurt Vonnegut & Bradbury. They do a version of Bradbury's
Martian Chronicles, a classic. The show sometimes has some cheesy
sound effects, which only add to some of the show. Most of the shows
are great, a few are badly written, but even those have their B movie
charm.
