"Radio Drama Review: X-Minus-One."
Hello and welcome to the 1950s Science Fiction Podcast, Season 4, Episode 3. Today, I will be discussing two episodes from the classic science fiction radio drama, X-Minus-One. This show aired on NBC radio during the late 1950s before it was discontinued. It was a reboot of an earlier radio drama called Dimension X, which I previously discussed in one of my earliest articles on Vocal Media. X-Minus-One was one of the few radio dramas that focused solely on science fiction and did not include other genres such as horror and mystery.

Lights Out!
During the Great Depression in the early 1930s, a radio drama called "Lights Out" was created by Wyllis Cooper and produced by the legendary Arch Orber. It aired on both the NBC and CBS radio networks from 1934 to 1947 and was later adapted into a television series that ran on NBC for three seasons starting in 1949. While the show was categorized as horror, it also incorporated elements of suspense, mystery, and science fiction.

The 1950s Science Fiction Podcast S:3:E1
Hello and welcome back to the show. I have been absent from podcasting for a little while due to working a busy schedule. I spend a good portion of my off time remodeling a new home I recently purchased. I am also working longer shifts at my job and less time to podcast. However, my house will compete soon, and I hope to resume a more frequent schedule of shows. Since there was a long pause between episodes, I decided to create a new season for the show.

The Life of Starlog MagazineTop Story - May 2022
In the days before the internet and social media, one of the means for fans to stay informed was to subscribe to print media. While commercial TV and radio produced some news coverage for fans, the amount of time was limited. Therefore fans could get more in-depth coverage by reading a print story on their favorite movie or show. There were many different fan-oriented magazines back in the day, but one does stand out as being very popular during the 70s and 80s. That was Starlog Magazine.
