It was 44 years ago I last heard this. Ive always wondered what this radio episode was. I was 15 when I heard it. It's a classic in the radio show world. Thanks for uploading this show.
well thats just too awesome.. there was a movie called the legend of the boy and the eagle ..it almost disappeared from my mind.. indians, boy jumps off cliff and turns into an eagle .. ...50 years ago
Infamous and Violet, I enjoy all of the story types you mentioned. But this was very enjoyable on 1/15/2023, and now one of my fave CBSRMT shows! I’ve read a lot of old Sci-Fi stories in my youth and 20s thru 30s. Well written and acted!
The research ship in this episode is named the Captain Nemo and the primitive bathysphere (diving bell, if you prefer) is named the Poseidon. Unsurprisingly appropriate. Not to mention that the source material for this episode was written by none other than H. G. Wells, who himself came up with man-like sea monsters!

That was so much nicer and better than I thought it was going to be. I imagine the two little guys stuck in the clockworks got a hero's funeral and statues in their honor.
reminds me of the movie "The Abyss" - and this was based on HG Wells' "Into the Abyss" - i gotta read the story to see what was taken from it - or what was made up - the coelacanth certainly wasn't part of the story since its rediscovery didn't occur until 1938 - Wells is good - but not that good - this script has some odd science - breach of the sphere would cause death by being crushed by the weight of ocean before "suffocation or drowning" could happen - and why would they use convex lens for portholes?
I chose to allow myself to be sucked in and entertained. Yes, if the glass cracked and broke, they would be crushed in an instant, before it would even register in their brain. Most Sci-Fi writers have one big leap of faith, asking you to suspend belief in physics. If there are a lot of these instances it can be a problem for some to become immersed in the story.
Excellent episode. However there's a very large flaw in it: The marine scientists wouldn't understand what happened unless the undersea creatures spoke English, and that's impossible if they've never interacted with English-speaking humans.
Some choose to enjoy, others choose to poke holes into most stories. You forget the basic starting point for most fiction writers, there will almost always be one major point requiring suspension of physics or reality. My GF of 21 years is a writer, and told me this.
Another great adaptation of a classic take. One if things that made CBSRMT such a treat!

Another great one
I haven't finished this story yet but it's already one of my favorites. Love the ones about the ocean, islands, sailing and diving below
Me too...which surprised me. I normally prefer horror and psychological thrillers. But my fave cbsmt episodes are the same as you mentioned 🐟 ⛵🛥 🛳 🐚

Hey thanks, I'm intrigued. Which Wells story introduced those man-like sea monsters?

Hey, a curious episode about evolution.

@@UncleEarl97 - readers have different thresholds - for those readers who find something enjoyable in the story - then the rest is forgiven
