X Minus One

01/06/05 | by [mail] | Categories: culture/news

I've been listening to the 1950s sci-fi radio program, X Minus 1. It's pretty fun so far. I've listened to about half of the second episode (the first episode was 404'd). I heard about it on the Engadget podcast. It's set in 1987 on board a spaceship headed for another solar system. Five ships have been lost trying to make this trip, but the captain thinks he can do it. If you're offended by bad language, then watch out. The salty old spaceship captain does at one point say st***d id**t.

Update: I should also link to the main site, RadioLovers.com. There are lots of cool programs like Abbott & Costello, Amos & Andy, Avenger, Batman, Buck Rodgers, Calling All Cars, etc. And it's all free.

I’ve been around some military types. A lot of them really do use language like that.

When I was a kid, I used to listen to the old radio shows they’d reply on an AM radio station at 10pm. XMinus1 was one of my favorites!

That radiolovers.com site looks great. My girlfriend and I have listened to that stuff occassionaly, but I’d never seen the site. I’d only run across sites like otrcat.com that sell the mp3s on cd. Thanks for the link.
