X Minus One Podcast

262

X Minus One is widely considered among the finest science fiction dramas ever produced for radio. The first 15 episodes were new versions of Dimension X episodes, but the remainder were adaptations of newly published science fiction stories by leading writers in the field, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Frederik Pohl and Theodore Sturgeon, along with a few original scripts. For baby boomer's that liked The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone and for all you Trekkies, X Minus One is the forefather of the science fiction you grew up with. You will find that it still is some of the best Science Fiction ever aired. Regardless of you age join us as we explore science fiction with the imagination of our minds and great story telling.

    A time machine of sorts
    These are vintage radio shows so they all have high production values -much higher quality than most podcasts. Excellent Voice talent and story arc. I especially enjoy the language used because it’s such a timestamp of its era. Each episode stands on its own. Give it a go! An excellent diversion and can provide a useful perspective regarding entertainment media.

    Been with you since the beginning I am so glad that these are around for my kids and their generation can enjoy these masterpieces and use their imagination when listening to see how much different it is then watching a screen it still brings out the child in me thank you

    I always enjoy these old time radio shows.

    Mislabeled
    Project Mastodon was really The Colony

    Everything offered by Humphrey Carmadello is Terrible!!!
    First you have to sit through their lame commercials that are horribly produced and full of digital distortion, jump cuts and outragiously bad SFX. But for them to make the claim that these old time radio productions are theirs is outright dishonest. These radio shows were produced by people at the top of their game in the 30s and 40s and NOT by Humphrey and Carmadello. Want to listen to these shows where they're are presented with the respect they deserve and without stupid commercials check out Relic Radio.

    Nothing like it!
    It’s so amazing to be able to listen to radio history at the push of a button. These stories are classics.
  • The Harvard Swineherd
    Quality podcast
    I haven't experienced any of the problems other reviews are having. I enjoy these old shows. Too bad X Minus One didn't produce more episodes.
  • NikNakNinj
    Awesome podcast, slow response time
    All of a sudden this podcast is extremely slow to stream! Ugh...it seems no good podcast lasts long! They really should fix this! It should not take 4 minutes to stream with a high speed internet connection!
  • drizzdizz
    Fun!
    Love X-1! Thanks for making these available.
  • Stewette
    Love these
    My kids and I loooove listening to these. The predictions about what we would all have and how we would be living is so funny. Thank you for making these available.
  • GaryI72

    Classic Science Fiction
    I love the golden age, but they need to get rid of all the postings and replace them with a full set, chronologically ordered. This should be a five star show, so do it right. (this rating is subject to change).
  • TeXa5 T B0n3
    Awsome!
    Good stuff! You don't hear this type of stuff anymore.
  • 5Cav
    Thanks!
    My only complaints are there are a few duplicates & make the artwork available... Thank you!
  • cattleprod

    Gone Down Hill
    X-1 is a Great Show and there were a couple of hundred episodes produced. Unfortunately, recently (last 10 months) this Humphrey Camardella produced podcast has gone down hill. Instead of posting X-1 episode that have not yet been listen to, all they do is pull off previously posted episode, change the commercials and then re-post them as "new" episodes. SHAME SHAME SHAME. In general this pod cast is well worth listening to BUT is a waste to subscribe to.

    Incomplete collection
    Considering that these are free downloads, I probably shouldn't complain. However, according to Wikipedia, there were 127 episdoes of X Minus One. No one seems to have a complete set available.
  • Buddy_McCue
    This stuff is great!
    Most of the shows are top-notch: well-written and well-performed.
  • Gargamello
    This is Brilliant
    Take a listen, you will not be disappointed. Created in the late 50s during the heydey of Asimov style science fiction, the production values are high with talented voice actors and amusing sound effects. Some stories are more tightly plotted than others, but if you've got a long commute or just like to listen to old sci fi, you will get a great deal of enjoyment out of this old school treat.

    If you love sci-fi and old time radio, this is the best thing out there
    My first review - while listening to this in bed last night, I was motivated to share my affection. I am in my late 30s, but for some reason (probably great grandma) I LOVE old time radio. There used to be some stations on the AM that would broadcast some gems, but I don't recall this show. I also love Sci-Fi. X-Minus One combines them both in a commercial free podcast format that I absolutely love. One of my favorite podcasts by far. Get it. If you are younger and skeptical, give it a try, but try to remove the jaded glasses of today and enjoy both as sci-fi and a bit of American entertainment history.
  • Mister Jellyfish
    Thanks, Mr. Camardella
    I'm sure somebody could be insisting on payment for these, and to stumble upon them for free is a delight. I share them with my family so the original spirit of science fiction continues on with new generations.
  • Chapter 6 fan
    Technical glitches spoil a great classic radio experience.
    I love X Minus One, but most of these podcast files are fraught with technical glitches that make it difficult to listen to and enjoy, particularly on an iPod. You can get audio files of X Minus One that actually work at www.botar.us.
  • senorarroz
    Huh?
    Love the podcast - great stories and good quality. But first we had a month with no new episodes and then the latest episode ubruptly ends after 12 minutes. What's up?
  • Sweendanks
    Excellent podcast!
    There isn't much I can say that others haven't, except that this podcast needs to be updated so that we can continue to listen to it!
  • Arcticninja
    Please stop posting 2 hour podcasts!!
    Great show, just dont understand why they repeat it in one podcast. It takes up too much time and space. Please just post one!!!!
  • prisoner6ix
    My I-Pod is complete!
    Great sci-fi for a great price: FREE! I had no download troubles and now I have hours of entertainment from some of my favorite authors. I work in television and it awsome to let the story come to life through sound alone. X-1 is one of the best examples of this bygone era of radio drama, when the only view screen you needed was between your ears. This is a must for all sci-fi fans. My suggestion: If you are the prisoner of a long car ride, take a few episodes with you.
  • OrionMP
    Good content, poor delivery
    I love this show and was excited to see it on iTunes. However, the shows seem to be a bit corrupted and will stop suddenly.
  • Quilly
    Very Poor Download
    The stories are great, but the podcast downloads poorly. The feed keeps repreating, which means a twenty five minute story will actually be over two hours. This is hard to listen to because you constantly have to fast forward to find your place in the story. It's really a pain, and I am considering ditching the podcast because of this.
  • Brettson
    Great Podcast but technical problems
    These are great radio plays and the quality is high but for some reason when the play on iTunes they say they are over 2 hours when thaey are half an hour. When you pause the podcast often goes backwards so when you start playing again it is several minutes behind. hard to listen to if you start and stop a lot like i do. Hope they fix it soon!
  • Jeffro1206
    Excelent SiFi Podcast
    I found this looking for classic radio scifi's and found this one about 10th one in and got hooked, got all the previous ones before. The other Humphrey Camardella Productions are really good too.
  • Thradar
    Excellent
    Think of The Twilight Zone for radio and you've got X Minus One. Great stuff for fans of OTR and the golden age of scifi.
  • 4DSZR1
    Top 5 on my Ipod
    One of the best out there! From the beginning and the narrater's deep voice "X-minus one" to the end of each episode, outstanding ipod entertainment for the long Seattle commutes.
  • HerringPro
    X Minus One - The best sleep aid.
    From the first time I hear x minus one I fell in love with the drama. I fall asleed every night on it. Just what the doctor recommended. Download this, you won't regret it!
  • atman
    really good stuff!!
    however, the episode "green hills of earth" is actually the same exact file as "perigis wonder dolls". I wish the "green hills" podcast were here. me likey robert heinlein.
  • SenatorK
    Brings back memories
    I used to listen to this on the old AM radio at bedtime, now thanks to this high-faluting "pod" technology I can listen to it whenever I want! How come there was never an X Minus One show about a future with on demand entertainment?
  • ranma reader25

  • No. 6
