"One of the least convincing psychic battles ever depicted on radio ensues."
Reminds me of a story. This was back in the Seventies.
Barry Gehm and I were exploring an SF convention in Detroit. We entered a room where Science Fiction Oral History Association exhibit was playing tapes. We listened for a little while, and recognized the dialogue: the story was Heinlein's "Universe." Hugh Hoyland, the protagonist, was conversing with the bicephalic Joe-Jim.
Barry became excited. "Did they make a movie out of 'Universe'?" I could tell what he was thinking. Maybe there was a decent SF movie that had escaped his notice! What might the special effects have been like?
I was sorry to have to disappoint him. "No, this is a tape of an old radio show."
An expression of scorn clouded Barry's face. "Oh!" he said with contempt.
