Without SyFy, I would be living in another boring dimension. This channel has to be the best channel delivers the old school science fiction stories for the Baby Boomers Generation. I remembered some of these great old SyFy stories I read as a kid. Great job, New Thinkable for the postings.
Only thing better than these uploads are the old school magazine covers.... It's only thanks to a handful of small channels on youtube that I've found the awesome cover art on publications like Amazing Stories and Wierd Tales. I really love the old school sci fi/horror pulp illustrations.
The bio-check with drones and testing against gene banks are just a few details which make this a very ahead of its time story, written all those years.
Just heard this on Radio Classics on SirusXM today and had to find it again to hear it all. I missed part when the signal dropped. Thanks for uploading this!
wow, we had such hopes for the science of the near future only to find the reality has turned out to be a long, long, long time to even get to where we are now in 2017 with the shuttles over and maybe the ISS is the biggest thing in space today, Planet Blue is going to take longer than they imagined in the late 1950's.
Well, the humans did plan to exterminate this life form native to the planet... so they got killed instead. Divine justice. Philip K. Dick never disappoints.
I love all the haughty women in these and on the magazine covers. I really hate the ending of this one but I guess it was the only option that was suitable. There's an episode of Space Dandy like this, I'll have to re-watxh that!
Glad to see you didn't cut the opening off this one. Why does New Thinkables cut some of these? On Universe by Robert Heinlein, you chopped off the whole X Minus One opening.
The voice that introduced the book should have read the rest of it. The rest was read by a deep bass voice that you never encounter in real life. These deep bass voices all sound like Bane.
They have a few different names, but they're mainly referred to as either "radio dramas" (more specifically, stories made to air on the radio like this one, tend to be older) or "audio dramas" (not specific to radio, can be more long form, tend to be newer). If you're interested in this format, Audible has a great audio drama of Brom Stoker's Dracula that features Tim Curry and Alan Cumming as two of the voice actors. I listened to it last month and absolutely loved it. If you like the radio stuff more BBC has an amazing library to check out as well, they've been doing this sort of thing for decades. (I actually just listened to a BBC radio adaption of Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.G. Lovecraft here on youtube). Hope this helps!
@@crazierthan-u7571 the original ship that they all got into naked was actually the organism, not the real ship (this is implied towards the end when one of the characters remarks that not only did the ship come early, but made no noticable sound when landing either). Since the second, real ship didn't find anyone on the planet when they landed, it can be inferred that the fake organism ship killed everyone once they got inside it.
Very silly story, unworthy of a great talent. A protoplasm that animates inanimate objects, mimics objects it has never observed such as the ending implies and kills without motive.
Dear Philip - i love your scifi stories and books, i really do, but this one is too funny, although enjoyable :) 🌷🌱 this will totally bore everyone into scifi. biology, as a science of course, covers multiple complex studies. you can’t possibly have one scientist looking into a Jupiter-sized inquiry. there’s zoology and botany. each one of those covers, of course, an incredible amount of information. you’d need at least a microbiologist, a botanist, a medical disease specialist, a number of zoologists for ocean life, reptiles, mammals, birds, insects. . . you’d need geologists, meteorologists, and i can’t think what else. a science person can’t help but find one biologist on this kind of expedition hilarious, much less being on a schedule?? it’d take a year to make sure earth life was sustainable. so this story is sort of like a fairy tale - a good one, but totally unbelievable. 😋🤣 🦠🍄🟫⛈️🌪️☀️🌵🌲🌱🌸🌾🐁🦆🐒🦇🦉🐝🪲🕷️🐌🪲🦎🐙🪼🐠🐬🦭🐊🐘🐅🦏🐪🦘🐄🐖🐕🐈🐓🦤🦝🫏🦘🦧🌋🌅🌷🌱
You must have not listened well they are using the Robo-Site technique which as yet to be invented but functions much like starlink with a lidar radar component.

SyFy is the name of a cable TV station, not an abbreviation for science fiction, which would be _sci-fi._

What a chilling ending. Had to listen to it twice.
Only thing better than these uploads are the old school magazine covers....

Love these sci fi radio dramatizations. Thank you for downloading them.
Brilliant! Thank you very much for sharing, I have been looking for a channel like this. Who the HELL❗ gave this a thumbs down?
From the twilight zone.....

Surprised to hear that the Captain of the ship is a Woman! Cutting edge in 1957
A story by a guy called Dick, the communications officer is called Wood and at the first sign of trouble they all get naked
Good catch!👍😂
I wonder if this is where the idea for Odo on Deep Space 9 came from, he can imitate the bucket he sleeps in.
I did not know he slept in a bucket! Are you sure? Stay safe. 🖖

I don’t know why a cover of Planet Stories is featured here. This story was published in Galaxy. I know because I own it.

Some need to make this into a movie
Check out 'Screamers', this same idea was expanded by PK Dick in to screamers, later made into a movie.
Second Variety is the story.
@@craigmartyn1279yeah but that is second variety
last night was liqour ration lol

Dick was a great storyteller.

What episode of Space Dandy?

Robbie R. Esq. I enjoy the advertisements before an sometimes after the story
They don't care. They're just a bunch of capitalists.

If the driving premise of offworld colonization is to relieve crowding on Sol III...no problemo. Carry on.
Whoa PKD made it onto X Minus One back in the Beatnik Era~ edgy narrative indeed...
I minored in spaciomathematics at Mars State University.

What are the stories called that are like this would have multiple voice actors can someone Fill Me In.?
radio stories

@@jeffreys2086 So these are free from copyright issues, they were broadcasted after all, correct?
@@anandsharma7430 yes as a public broadcast it is covered under the fair use act
@@jeffreys2086 thanks
Does story actually end at the story's conclusion? It seems to just come to a halt.
That's the ending. Did you miss the twist?
I'm not sure I understand the ending. How did the organism make it back with the research team without being seen?

Okay, thanks. That's what I sort of inferred. I must have nodded off because I missed some stuff.
