RAS #566 – Robot Killer

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have a pseudo theme on the life and times of Isaac Asimov. We review an audiobook written by him called Robot Dreams. We even play a game of Johnny Is It True where you get to pick which famous Asimovian quote I faked. Add to that a story from the OTR series 2000 plus that is titled Robot Killer, well I think you get the idea. Not too worry though it is not all robots there are two ghost stories sent in by Richard and Tambra that are quite creepy. 

Featured Story – Killer Robot

Killer Robot

Our featured story comes from the short lived radio series 2000 Plus. It ran on the Mutual Broadcasting System for a little over a year ending in 1952. It was the first adult science fiction series on radio, airing one month prior to the better-known Dimension X.  The tale is called Robot Killer and is one that Isaac Asimov would be proud of. It takes a good look at the pitfalls of owning a robot. It aired in Late 1950.

Other Stories Include – A Bit Of Logic, Eyes Do More Than See, Kids In The Woods, A Wolf Encounter, Robot Killer, And Johnny Is It True – Isaac’s Quotes

The House In Cypress Canyon
The House In Cypress Canyon

Our featured story was suggested by Larry Bursey who has been listening to the podcast for a very long time. The House in Cypress Canyon is an episode of the OTR series Suspense. It is consistently cited as one of the most terrifying programs broadcast during The Golden Age Of Radio. It is a story-within-a-story framed by a meeting between a realtor and detective Sam Spade. He and his wife have discovered a manuscript regarding a mysterious house. It was originally broadcast December 5, 1946 and was given a Christmas theme. However, I am here to tell you this one should have been played on Halloween.
