really like "shape" has neat sound effects of blobby gooping its so funny there is a guy called pilot and his second in command really wants to be a dog and his name is gir hmm i wonder if he wants to be a mongoose dog the story call me joe seems like the base idea of james camerons avatar cripple guy downloads his mind into a creature able to live on jupiter ends up abandoning his old body cold equasions always bugged me it has versions on the new outer limits and x minus one it seems that if the fuel equasions are this tight the ship is doomed with her aboard and ejecting her would make no difference sales pitch reminds me of the old with folded hands episode houston can you read me is a bit of a bummer i guess the girls kill all the men who knows maybe they killed every man on earth
Don't be put off by first couple plays

I've listened to a few of these now & I think some of the lukewarm reviews here are because first couple plays are unconventional & not easy to get into, especially the first one, "Voices Lost in Calling". It's not only quirky & "experimental", it's also not very good. Unfortunate that it's the first track in the collection. Must turn a lot of people away without ever hearing any of the rest, which is a shame because overall this is a great collection with a few absolute gems. Track 3, "Dark Benediction", is particularly excellent & goes a step beyond the current zombie movie craze, even though the story it's based was written years before the Zombie Apocalypse was even a glimmer on the mass consciousness radar.
Jan Van thank you

Jan Van, thank you muchly for taking the time to both record and then upload an excellent choice of SciFi plays. You have discerning taste dude. If anyone is tempted to read the comments ala YouTube before listening I suggest you ignore the nit pickers and just go for it. I promise I will be surprised if you are disappointed, Enjoy Guys n Gals

Very well presented and organized. I do wish the dates of when both, the stories were written and the dates of the performances or either or. If it it a noted author like Philip K Dick most stories are known. However; others, not so much. And personally, I'm not a fan of post 70s work. Thank you for posting.
okay

I only tuned in a little. The first episode was pure 100% repetitious abstract. Im not saying it was bad, but... ! Another episode called The Rose exploited the music box melody of 'Beautiful Dreamer' so much, it became nauseating. I might listen more another time. This show isn't pulling me in.
a great scifi series, with quality science fiction stories

This seems to be from public broadcasting, and it's similar the Mindwebs (another good one in the Archive). Mindwebs is a dramatic reading of real science fiction stories, these are plays based upon real scifi classics.
Good series

I've only listened to a few. I downloaded all. Several I couldn't get into, some were good. Good production, good sound quality. Houston, Houston, was very interesting... I'd recommend. If you don't like an episode, try another.
Wonderful

Excellent adaptations of Sci-Fi short stories as radio plays. Can't have been easy, given the descriptive nature of the genre, but the actors and producers have made each one of them such an immersive experience.
