X Minus One - "How - 2" (1956)

X Minus One, episode 45, “How-2,” originally broadcast on NBC Radio Network on April 3, 1956. Adapted by William Welch from Clifford D. Simak’s Galaxy Science Fiction novelette, the production was directed by Daniel Sutter and features Alan Bunce and Anne Seymour. In a twenty-first-century suburban home, dedicated kit-builder Gordon Knight expects a robotic dog kit—but receives something much larger and more sophisticated. As the finished robot, Albert, begins helping around the household, Gordon faces unexpected questions about ownership, responsibility, and what a machine may be entitled to become. Old Time Sci-Fi Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
