Dimension X: Report on the Barnhouse Effect 1/3

Dimension X was an NBC radio program broadcast on an unsponsored, sustaining basis from April 8, 1950 to September 29, 1951. The first 13 episodes were broadcast live, and the remainder were pre-recorded. Fred Wiehe and Edward King were the directors, and Norman Rose was heard as both announcer and narrator. Dimension X was not the first adult science fiction series on radio, but the acquisition of previously published stories immediately gave it a strong standing with the science fiction community, as did the choice of well established, respected writers in the field.

This was the third program of the series, originally broadcast on April 22, 1950, adapted by Clarice Ross from Kurt Vonnegut's classic short story. Unfortunately, Ross was forced to alter it somewhat to reflect the growing impact of the "Cold War" on the United States (and probably not to "frighten" listeners); the denouement is not as chilling as the one Vonnegut wrote.
