About this listen

A few weeks ago, on our classic sci-fi series we shared the story “The Outer Limit” by Graham Doar. It was originally published in The Saturday Evening Post in December of 1949, but I originally heard it on an episode of the 1950’s radio drama X Minus One. I mentioned in the episode that Darren and I were unable to find a copy of the original story, so we actually adapted the original radio drama script into a short story version.


Here's our version from the September 25th episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4IlfSzOLj4RZw9patUvE7x?si=f1f4d5c593b04e46


I thought it would be fun to share the original X Minus One episode. It aired on November 16th 1955. And if you’d like to hear more audio drama versions of the short stories we’ve shared here on Auditory Anthology, we’ll have a poll on our Substack, so let us know if you like this sort of brief diversion from our normal short story content
