    Another good time travel story by L. Sprague DeCamp, this time about hunting dinosaurs. When my son was small he would hunt dinosaurs every day, so I was picturing a 4-year-old in a Space Jam T-shirt carrying a plastic gun. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
    Credits (Goldin): Alistair Duncan, Wendell Holmes, John Gibson, Donald Buka, Warren Parker, Alan Hewitt, L. Sprague de Camp (author), Fred Collins (announcer), Ernest Kinoy (adaptor), Daniel Sutter (director), William Welch (producer)

    Great episode, even better because it uses music that Ed Wood later used in Plan 9 from Outer Space!

      I did that notice too. Seen plan 9 tons of times my guilty pleasure.

    This is top-o! I’ve done a little guiding and this is a very accurate depiction of what you deal with. Gining a chap up is one thing but reining in a rich dingo is impossible. Nothing you can do with them but keep them with you. On their own they get lost, get hurt, or burn the camp down;with you they ruin it for everyone but at least you can keep an eye on them.

    Absolutely addicted to everyone one of these radio programs. Only 56 but my parents listen to these and it lets me imagine instead of movies today!

    Just about anything written by L. Sprague de Camp is a treat, and this adaptation is no exception.

      I like de Camp's work too, as long as it's original like this story. I don't like it as much when he's mutilating Robert E Howard.

    L Spraug was clearly influenced by Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder.🦖 🤓😎✌🏻

      I find one link stating DeCamp wrote it as a rebuttal to Bradbury's story, but I can't find anything else to support that.

    I'm sure the writer of "Jurassic Park" got a few ideas from this X Minus One show.
