Simak stories were often used on X Minus One, the 1950s radio series on NBC. Great intro:
β€œFrom the far horizons of the unknown come tales of new dimensions in time and space. These are stories of the future, adventures in which you’ll live in a million could-be years on a thousand maybe worlds.”
