Subject: A true journey for the mind I didn't get a chance to hear every show while on radio, but I heard every one I could, and once the actors started I was hooked to the end. For me, never a dull moment, and sometimes a long hesitation with the hot drink cup or the sandwich getting to the mouth as I listened intently.

I do suggest to anyone new to these old radio shows, download one of these shows, and one of the Suspense series, then you will be hooked.

Thank you the writers, actors, sponsors, technicians, and the creators of these fine shows. - January 8, 2010A true journey for the mind

Subject: Dimension X, along with X Minus One... Dimension X and X Minus one, probably the two best science fiction shows to be on what we now consider old time radio, in part because they were were well written, well crafted, well performed, as well as being first. Lesser shows could have reduced science fiction to a footnote in the history of old time radio. Yes, there were occasional weak episodes, but that was more in the sense they were weak against the high standard they set for themselves, not weak against other science fiction series. The writing for both series wasn't as strong as, say, Frontier Gentleman or Gunsmoke, or possibly The Great Gildersleeve, Jack Benny or Barry Craig because those shows had a continuing cast which you could relate to. And, there was an overlap of episodes. But, for those with the adventure of mind and imagination that only science fiction can bring to mind, travel to space and the future, even as dated as some of the shows may be, they were almost as good (and to many people, better) than curling in a corner with the latest paperback or monthly magazine of featuring the same story.



The bad part of science fiction, of course, is that ever since 1969, no one can ever write about what it will be like to land on the moon... Still, these stories and performances stand the test of time. - October 8, 2007Dimension X, along with X Minus One...

Subject: excellent series in better than excellent quality This series has always been one of my favorites as it did a most excellent job of capturing the awe and wonder of 1950's science-fiction, in my opinion the golden age of science fiction. Many of the day's top authors are here in one of the top dramatic series of all time.



The OTRR (of which I am a member) has done a masterful job of finding some truly excellent quality recordings for this set. I have had many different tape/mp3 copies of these shows and this set is markedly better than anything that I have ever heard. - June 24, 2007excellent series in better than excellent quality

Subject: A Must Listen. I have listened to the series more than once. This is by far the BEST collection with the best audio quality I have heard yet.

Even if you are not a sci-fi fan this series offers some great stories by some of the best writters of the last century.

A must listen to any OTR fan. Check it out. - February 11, 2007A Must Listen.

Subject: New to OTR I've recently got into OTR and I have been consumed by this series. The OTRR group has done an incredible job with this collection. Highly recommend it. Working on converting an old 40's tabletop radio so it will play my iPod. Dimension X and the other great OTR shows will sound great coming from an old radio. - January 4, 2007New to OTR
