The Stations:
Dimension X - This was the precursor to the well-known X Minus One radio show, and the two shows share a lot of DNA. Stories were written by familiar names such as Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Kurt Vonnegut et al. It aired from April 8, 1950 to September 29, 1951. 50 shows were produced, and all 50 are able to be provided. Audio quality of most episodes is good.
Exploring Tomorrow - A much lesser-known radio show which aired from December 4, 1957 to June 13, 1958. Similar in scope and material to Dimension X and X Minus One, though with newer material. Provided in the interest of variety. Out of 29 known episodes, 24 made the cut for inclusion. Audio quality of individual episodes ranges from fair to good.
Tom Corbett, Space Cadet - A show which began life on TV, based on Robert A. Heinlein's novel Space Cadet. Developed for a younger audience, similar to the familiar Space Patrol radio show, which Tom Corbett slightly predates. It aired from January 1 to June 26, 1952. Stories were almost always two-parters split across two episodes for added suspense. Out of 51 known episodes, 43 made the cut. Audio quality of individual episodes ranges from fair to good.
X Minus One - Everyone knows about this show. It can be heard in two preexisting mods: Old World
