Did I miss any?

Tom Corbet it is

Note to audio dramatists: if your goal is to get my attention you cannot go wrong involving Willy Ley.

It's kind of surprising

how many science fiction stories resolve their crises by stuffing the only female character in the story out the nearest airlock.

No, I misspoke: *I wish* it was kind of surprising how many science fiction stories resolve their crises by stuffing the only female character in the story out the nearest airlock.

Why I like radio

I admit visual effects technology has improved since this was recorded but sadly my ability to spot CGI has improved just as quickly.

Two comments

I didn't know the Thin Man was a TV series.

What technologies does "human crewed spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter" imply to you?

Found while looking for WHA stuff

Archive.org has an archive of Father Coughlin addresses.

His wikipedia entry.

Out of the past

I had no idea this property had been revived.

Damsel in Distress: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games

Did I post this already?

There was a certain amount of hostility to the idea of this series but Anita Sarkeesian soldiered on and here's the proof:

Seeing Ear Theatre: The Oblivion Syndrome (?)

The Oblivion Syndrome

Following a major malfunction in space, and much to the distress of his enslaved AI, a human explorer has given in to the inevitability of death to the point that when aliens suddenly appear offering rescue, he resists to the best regulations accepting this offer. Happily, the aliens are able to restore his desire to live through the healing powers of xenophobia.

Not my thing. It did have the least believable explanation I've heard in a long time for why the alien speaks English. It's a "coincidence".
