My second listening March 3, 2022. My husband and I listen to these at night, when we go to bed. We pretend the radio” is on! Love all these - thank you Chilly for putting these up and keeping them up. I could listen to them over and over.,😘

Yet another extra cool piece of artwork I wish was a mural in my house, if only I wasn't a renter...
This is my 2nd listen to this story, so far one of my very favorites!

[@scottherod7732]

I love the sci-fi/horror stories in which the hero sees the truth and acts on it while the rest of the world assumes he's crazy. These are some of the best moral dilemmas. It's also an intriguing exploration into the collective unconscious and racial memory. Well told!

Thank you. I close my eyes & I'm there. Great way to start the new year. Listening in Arizona

This kind of reminds me of an episode of the Twilight Zone called "Will the Real Martian Stand Up". Thank you for loading these shows.

M Rosario You're welcome......................That was a fun TZ episode, Jack Elam was Great as the *Old Man*.

[@mrosario3474]

Yes, indeed. He was funny as can be.

@42:20 Woe I got to stop staring at these pictures, they're doing crazy things to me . I'm having DSL flashbacks 😆

[@jeffb.i.5574]

I love the green colors and the close proximity of that planet.

[@lynnrobinson8885]

Also sounds a little like Zenna Henderson’s “The People”. Very well done!! Wish there were more today.

[@brunoantony3218]

They couldn't have picked a more disturbing voice actor to portray this disturbing character. Perfect casting of Ralph Bell.

[@ji5055]

There's nothing new Under the Sun lots of this stuff sounds like stuff from the past and stuff from the future and remakes of these things. Something to think about

[@somerando4354]

Except when you're a kid and everything's new, how I miss that feeling!

[@anthonyperdue3557]

Also reminds one of --Gem of Purest Ray ( Quiet Please 1947) and Human Interest aka The Last Martian (Alfred Hitchcock Presents starring Steve McQueen and Arthur Hill).

All these freaky people are "from" Terra Haute, it seems.

I like the radio dramas written by Elspeth Eric. Does anyone know how I can find a list of her dramas?
