Critic reviews

"The landmark series was Dimension X, which was broadcast by NBC....It was the first radio series to treat science fiction in an adult way." (Mike Ashley, Transformations: The History of the Science-Fiction Magazine 1950 to 1970)

If you could sum up Dimension X in three words, what would they be?

Escape to 1950!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked the couple who at first seemed on vacation in Mexico but eventually you come to find out they are running away from a government project in the future that will wipe out the human race. You really want them to escape.

What about the narrator’s performance did you like?

This was a radio play, so if there was a narrator he didn't stand out.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I love Bradbury's stories and this one was suspenseful and surprising up to the last minute.

Any additional comments?

Radio plays on Audible are always a bargain and they make for great entertainment.

Time traveling to escape!
