RAS #397 – The Next Logical Step

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we have six folks to help us out. Jackie has a question. Jeremy, Rita, and Killa all sent in creepy stories for us to enjoy. Then we have a cold war story with Ben Bova’s The Next Logical Step, and we end the show with Rosen and Cody teaming up with a tale about a dangerous ride in a 1956 Packard Sedan. Sound good?

Featured Story – The Next Logical Step

Our featured story this week comes from the pen of science fiction author Ben Bova and his story The Next Logical Step. It was written in 1962 during the heart of the cold war, and it appeared in the May edition of Analog Science Fact & Fiction. Ordinarily, the military would not want to have the others know the final details of their war plans. But logically, there might be a time where it could save the world.

Program Note: Killadollxx sent in a story this week where he/she references a picture of the West Lawn Pavilion. You can see that photo here.

RAS #396 – The Day The Earth Stood Still

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we don’t have tales this week, but rather a single story. This is something we’ve not done for a while. With the Labor Day holiday upon us, I thought, why not do it as we did back in the day, but on a much bigger scale. So, this week please enjoy the science fiction classic The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Featured Story – The Day The Earth Stood Still

So, what single story can take up an entire podcast? How about the classic LUX Radio Theater production, The Day the Earth Stood Still from January of 1954. Truly an American Classic! A UFO lands in Washington, D.C., bearing a message for Earth’s leaders. Klaatu has come on behalf of his world, who have been watching Cold War-era nuclear proliferation on Earth. But it is Klaatu’s soft-spoken robot Gort that presents a more immediate threat. A single mother and her son teach the world about peace and tolerance in this moral fable ousting the tanks and soldiers that greet the alien’s arrival.

RAS #394 – Mister Mumbles

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week Sylvia is back with more creepy stories for us, and we have a strange one about a little black puppy named Mister Mumbles. We then play a war story that has a happy ending, and we end the show with a scary one from If magazine, 1953. So, settle in for some amazing stories.

Featured Story – Mister Mumbles

Our featured tale comes to us from the website “as is” with no indication of where it came from or who wrote it. I checked it for plagiarism and didn’t find anything. It is titled Mister Mumbles and tells the tale of a possible monster in the puppies body.
