Dimension X was an NBC radio program broadcast mostly 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, opening the show with: "Adventures in time and space... told [or transcribed] in future tense..." For two months, beginning on July 7, 1950, the series was sponsored by Wheaties. Overview: Preceded by Mutual's 2000 Plus (1950–52), 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 established writers within the genre: Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Fredric Brown, Robert A. Heinlein, Murray Leinster, H. Beam Piper, Frank M. Robinson, Clifford D. Simak, William Tenn, Jack Vance, Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Williamson and Donald A. Wollheim. Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts adapted most of the stories and also provided original scripts. In Science Fiction Television (2004), M. Keith Booker wrote: It was not until the 1950s that science fiction radio really hit its stride, even as science fiction was beginning to appear on television as well. Radio programs such as Mutual's 2000 Plus and NBC's Dimension X were anthology series that offered a variety of exciting tales of future technology, with a special focus on space exploration (including alien invasion), though both series also often reflected contemporary anxieties about the dangers of technology. The series opened with "The Outer Limit," Ernest Kinoy's adaptation of Graham Doar's short story from The Saturday Evening Post (December 24, 1949) about alien contact. A week later (April 15, 1950), the program presented Jack Williamson's most famous story, "With Folded Hands," first published in the July 1947 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. With a five-month hiatus from January 1951 to June 1951, the series spanned 17 months. All 50 episodes of the series survived and can be heard today. Later, NBC's X Minus One (1955–58) utilized many of the same actors and scripts.

Do you remember the 1974 Hollywood blockbuster, The Towering Inferno?

Robinson switched gears and started writing disaster novels with a partner. And one of those novels “The Glass Inferno” was used to create the Hollywood movie with a budget of $14 million that did more than $200 million at the box office. Robinson received a hefty payday.Born in Chicago, Illinois on August 9th, 1926 it's been said that Robinson was the son of a check forger. In his teens he was a copy boy for International News Service and then became an office boy for Ziff-Davis publishing, which published the sci-fi magazine Amazing Stories and later added Fantastic Adventures. Robinson attended Beloit College and earned a master's degree in journalism at Northwestern University. He served two tours of duty in the U.S. Navy as a radar technician during World War II and the Korean War.His career as a science fiction writer started in 1950 and with 10 stories published in 1951 his career took off.From the pages of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in June 1955, WANTED: One Sane Man by Frank M.

In the generations after the fall, humanity recovers enough to send out a few ark ships, one of which is heading toward the burgeoning spider world. We rotate between two narratives: one that describes the evolution of various spiders and spider characters across the generations, and one that details the events aboard the ark ship Gilgamesh as it's human cargo wakes and sleeps over the eons.
