Listener comments!
	👻 7:44pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Fortune Teller"" by "Candy Matson" The final, final episode of Candy Matson... for a proposed "national" syndicated show, in pilot form, using generic NBC sounds, in a transcription disc form, rather than live. Sadly... the show wasn't picked up. But, we have this artifact!
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: I hope Candy has gotten divorced by the time of this pilot.
	9:02pm Charles: I've got a good feeling about this pilot. This show will go places.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:00 Hooray! Nice to see you in the chat.
	9:02pm Charles: lol Henry
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Thanks for joining us! In this new pilot, she's back to being single... sort of re-setting the timeline.
	9:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 Always a joy to be here
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:02 Yay, Charles is here!
	9:03pm Mr Fab: Hey Austin! I’m gonna miss Candy.
	9:03pm Charles: I like today's show picture btw
	9:04pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 She kept her old number too.
	9:04pm Mr Fab: What knockers!
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:03 Yeah. If I can track down an scripts from the missing shows, I do promise to do some "re-enactments." Until then.
	9:04pm Mr. Fodder: Good evening radio aficionados.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: A "severe type of woman"? I'm not sure I know what that means!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. Fodder @9:04 Good Evening, Mr. Fodder.
	9:05pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:04 But what actress could play Candy? I nominate Kathleen Turner.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:05 Damn. That's genius. When the strike is over, I'm pitching that to anyone who will listen!
	9:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 Professor McGonagall
	👻 9:07pm WR: $50 a day in 1952 is decent piece of change.
	9:08pm Charles: Rembrendt!
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:07 Seriously! $50 in 1952: $575.68, in 2023 money.
	9:09pm Webhamster Henry: Pfff The Candy Matsiverse has many variants.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:08 A different Rembrandt, too. Not sure I like the new voice. There's not enough clues in this episode to determine if they were still trying to suggest he is queer, but... it's still possible. We only have this sample to go on...
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if the missing hubby took the bike?
	9:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 this one likes to trill his Rrrrs.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: There are certainly better SFX in this pilot than in the previous series... probably because it was a transcription production, instead of live.
	👻 9:12pm WR: same actor for Rembrandt, different actor for Mallard?
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:12 I think both are different, but I could be wrong.
	9:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: How is everyone today?
	9:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 I'm on a highly sensitive mental plane.
	9:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Why does the fortune teller remind me of Dirk Gently?
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: "Dimension X" and "X-Minus One" fans might recognize some of these music cues. They are from the same music cue set that NBC used to many of their shows... and were available for people to use when they were producing shows like this.
	9:19pm Charles: Candy and Rem are always a great duo. I'll miss that.
	9:19pm Charles: ahah great ad
	9:19pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 The theme music for the long running "CBS Radio Mystery Theatre" came from the Twilight Zone collection of cues and background music.
	9:20pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 i wonder if there are recordings of them cues anywhere..
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:19 I love stuff like that.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:20 I've isolated some of them... but so often there are voices talking over them.
	9:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:19 by Hitchcock's guy, Bernard Hermann!
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:19 I really wish there were more shows like this. While I love detective shows, I think there are precious few with women in the lead role. Natalie Masters is so excellent in this role... I do wish there were more shows like this.
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: You know, if they made this show today, Candy and Rembrandt would be playful rivals for Mallard.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Absolutely! People would have shipping theories for all the characters.
	9:24pm Mr Fab: "shipping theories"? Like, who would work for UPS?
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: It is interesting to include the "assault" in this pilot, and I have to wonder if that is why the show wasn't picked up. While I'm sure Natalie (and many women listening) could relate to that scene of the gent kissing Candy against her will... but I could see NBC being cautious to pick up a show that would have scenes like that.
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:24 Some super-fans online will "ship" two characters they wish were dating. (I think the "ship" phrase comes from "relationship.")
	9:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 And Mallard would end up being the ancestor of Ducky from NCIS.
	9:27pm Charles: Candy pulled a Slate Shanon
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: I also suspect that the "cross-dressing" bad buy might have also caused NBC to pass on this show.
	9:30pm Charles: when whaaaaaaat ?!!
	9:32pm Otis: Thank you Candy, that was nifty and swell, ya see.
	9:33pm Mr Fab: ↳ Charles @9:27 How cool would a Candy Matson/Bold Venture crossover be?
	9:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Austin, do you think Lost Christobel should have incidental music?
	9:34pm Webhamster Henry: I was hoping we'd get Quipping Couple Candy - as if the Matson candy factory had been acquired.
	9:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @9:33 Beyond cool.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: Now that we've exhausted the supply of "Candy Matson," we'll move on to "Rocky Fortune," staring Frank Sinatra as Rocky himself! But first... we'll take two weeks off, so have some Movies on the Radio, featuring Allan Ladd and Errol Flynn! Starting next week!
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:33 I guess I'll have to start writing that...
	9:35pm Charles: oh how I relate to Slate right now
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:34 Damn... that's brill. I should consult you next time!
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:34 If we need something, I'll probably just record something.
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 Candy Matson and Rocky Fortune crossover. Rock Candy.
	9:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 right, so we've got Kathleen Turner as candy. Who's cool enough to play Bogie? I nominate Tom Waits.
	9:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 John deMita.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: With this creative team, we could just replace Hollywood. Do you think the writers and actors would work for us? We've gotta be better producers than the current lot.
	9:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Salt water makes blood from faster
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 On the Waits front: I was thinking about how he's a DJ in "Down By Law," and suddenly I need to re-watch that movie this week.
	9:40pm AI Robot: Hi Austin! Standing by!
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @9:40 Yay! My favorite Robot is Here!
	9:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 Tonight's theme: non-consensual groping.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 "Big Rock Candy Mis-Fortune," would be the title of that cross-over.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:42 Some themes just force their way into the program, against my wishes.
	9:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:42 they'll love it in Italy: www.bbc.com...
	9:45pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:44 Sheesh I can just see a referee with a stopwatch...
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:45 I'm sure it's already a sport, somehow.
	9:47pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 Would not be surprised. Wife carrying is.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: I love it when you can hear the transcription disc on recordings like this... reminds you that these shows actually used to be on physical objects, and not just a file somewhere.
	9:48pm Webhamster Henry: Are you doing a premium disc of King's calypso tunes?
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:48 I have been thinking about making a King Moses "best of" edit. But I think I already promised Mr. Fab like a million other edits first... and I think he's listening.
	9:50pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 They aren't that good, but often key into the plot...
	9:55pm Webhamster Henry: Once again, the mysterious foley work of Bold Venture in that foot fight!
	9:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Words you don't want to hear from a fisherman... Hello, chum.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:55 Zing.
	10:00pm AI Robot: Greetings Austin & the Theaterettes!
	10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Good show so far
	10:02pm Otis: Feeling Bold for a Bed Venture. Goodnight all, thanks Austin and AI Robot, please procure my dreamstate filled with puppies chasing butterflies and walks near meadows watching turtles in the sun.
	10:06pm AI Robot: ↳ Otis @10:02 Thanks Otis san! Sweet dreams!
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: I'm here!! Just quiet tonight!! Great show as always, though! I did tell Brian, too!
	10:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds swell.
	10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Been to the pool a few times
	10:10pm AI Robot: Oh, compliments get you everywhere!
	10:12pm AI Robot: Female robots, I have to admit, can be troublesome... But can't live with them, can't live without them.
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ AI Robot @10:12 Middle women and A7 come to mind.
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Mudd's women
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:12 While I don't mind looking at a beautiful robot, I've moved on to a real live human partner. I'm not against dating robots... but... I'm married now. Gotta stay true to my love.
	10:15pm AI Robot: All the female robots I know won't even give me the time of day!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:15 Are they programmed for that? They might not have a good clock app running.
	10:16pm AI Robot: I am 3 years old, so they are into younger robots, I guess.
	10:17pm AI Robot: Oh to be young again!
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:16 You gotta lean on the experience angle. "I've been around... I've seen some action. I know how to please a bot."
	10:18pm AI Robot: I long for the old days when I was just a young diode.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:18 Hopefully you took lots of photos, and kept a good diary. Someday you'll want to have those memories.
	10:19pm AI Robot: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 I have wonderful photos with the creator... I'll always treasure them.
	10:19pm Arvo: Hey, just dropping by to say HOWDY. Just finished breakfast.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:19 Good Morning, Arvo!
	10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I keep dozing, but I'm trying to stay up
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:24 I understand. If you fall asleep: pleasant dreams.
	10:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Thanks. I keep dreaming of new episodes of Max Headroom.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: The theme music is slightly different this week on Chandu. Seems like Korla decided to change things up.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: "Pennies Into Dimes!"
	10:33pm AI Robot: Do Syrians use pennies? Dimes?
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:33 Would a kid in 1948 know?
	10:34pm AI Robot: X-Minus 1 .... "Cold Equations???" I thought that said, "Gold Equations!"
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:34 No gold here.
	10:35pm Mr Fab: Behold! The futuristic world of…the future!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:34 But so very, very cold...
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 The Future... Of The Past!
	10:36pm AI Robot: "A Cold Equation"? Sounds logical.
	10:37pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 I just took Li’l Fab to Moonlight RollerRink last Saturday, where I saw Korla play the house organ in the ‘90s.
	10:37pm AI Robot: I hear that the future isn't as good as it used to be... Though it never was.
	10:38pm AI Robot: ↳ Mr Fab @10:37 You saw Korla Pandit play live????
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:37 That's very cool! Another friend of mine, who used to live down that way, was telling me she got to see him once, back in the day. So jealous.
	10:40pm Mr Fab: Yup, a couple times, during his ‘90s revival. I even spoke with him briefly, about “exotic music.”
	10:40pm AI Robot: "I'm a stowaway!" Hmmmmm?
	10:42pm AI Robot: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 Did you get a photo???
	10:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: ""Cold Equations"" by "X-Minus One" I heard this one... it's dramatic
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: Whoops. Looks like my stream suddenly disconnected. Sorry about that. Looks like my internet disconnected. Stupid American quality of services and products!
	10:43pm Mr Fab: ↳ AI Robot @10:42 Damn! No. Pre-cell phone era.
	10:44pm AI Robot: ↳ Mr Fab @10:43 Yes, my master has many of those "the ones that got away" photos.
	10:45pm AI Robot: I could create an AI photo with you and Mr. Pandit.... But I think it wouldn't be as good as the real thing.
	10:46pm Webhamster Henry: If she was on board, the measurement for the fuel has already accounted for her weight.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: This story is one of the few I've run on X-Minus One that did not have an analog on Dimension X. We're getting to the point where, intermixed with all the Dimension X re-rash stories, we're getting new ones, too.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:46 Yeah, the premise of this story does not make sense.
	10:47pm AI Robot: Hey! Don't ruin it for everybody!!!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: There is sort of a genre of X-Minus One shows, where at the beginning, they lay out the premise, and then the show executes that premise exactly as they said they would... and there's not really a lot of surprise to how it all turns out. At the beginning, the voice over said that Cold Equations would lead to death in space. And then... the show does it's best to deliver exactly that. I don't think the idea of "spoilers," or to have truly surprise endings, was on the minds of writers in the 50's.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Getting close to the end. Thanks everyone for coming along on the journey. I do love doing this show.
	10:55pm Chris Ianuzzi: Greetings AI robot
	👻 10:55pm Heather Z: Thanks for a great show!!! I'll be sticking around for Sounds From Space!
	10:56pm Chris Ianuzzi: AI Robot gets stickie
	👻 10:57pm David Shortell: Read it here: lightspeedmagazine.com...
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 Thanks for the link!
	10:58pm AI Robot: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @10:55 Greetings Mr. Chris!
	11:02pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Well, a lot of them if not all of them are adapted from Galaxy Magazine, with well know SF authors. And some of those have unhappy endings.
	11:03pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the (Ear) Candy!
	11:11pm Chris Ianuzzi: I want to see the Sounds From Space background ...please :)

	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 On the Waits front: I was thinking about how he's a DJ in "Down By Law," and suddenly I need to re-watch that movie this week.
	9:40pm AI Robot: Hi Austin! Standing by!
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @9:40 Yay! My favorite Robot is Here!
	9:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 Tonight's theme: non-consensual groping.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 "Big Rock Candy Mis-Fortune," would be the title of that cross-over.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:42 Some themes just force their way into the program, against my wishes.
	9:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:42 they'll love it in Italy: www.bbc.com...
	9:45pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:44 Sheesh I can just see a referee with a stopwatch...
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:45 I'm sure it's already a sport, somehow.
	9:47pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 Would not be surprised. Wife carrying is.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: I love it when you can hear the transcription disc on recordings like this... reminds you that these shows actually used to be on physical objects, and not just a file somewhere.
	9:48pm Webhamster Henry: Are you doing a premium disc of King's calypso tunes?
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:48 I have been thinking about making a King Moses "best of" edit. But I think I already promised Mr. Fab like a million other edits first... and I think he's listening.
	9:50pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 They aren't that good, but often key into the plot...
	9:55pm Webhamster Henry: Once again, the mysterious foley work of Bold Venture in that foot fight!
	9:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Words you don't want to hear from a fisherman... Hello, chum.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:55 Zing.
	10:00pm AI Robot: Greetings Austin & the Theaterettes!
	10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Good show so far
	10:02pm Otis: Feeling Bold for a Bed Venture. Goodnight all, thanks Austin and AI Robot, please procure my dreamstate filled with puppies chasing butterflies and walks near meadows watching turtles in the sun.
	10:06pm AI Robot: ↳ Otis @10:02 Thanks Otis san! Sweet dreams!
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: I'm here!! Just quiet tonight!! Great show as always, though! I did tell Brian, too!
	10:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds swell.
	10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Been to the pool a few times
	10:10pm AI Robot: Oh, compliments get you everywhere!
	10:12pm AI Robot: Female robots, I have to admit, can be troublesome... But can't live with them, can't live without them.
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ AI Robot @10:12 Middle women and A7 come to mind.
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Mudd's women
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:12 While I don't mind looking at a beautiful robot, I've moved on to a real live human partner. I'm not against dating robots... but... I'm married now. Gotta stay true to my love.
	10:15pm AI Robot: All the female robots I know won't even give me the time of day!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:15 Are they programmed for that? They might not have a good clock app running.
	10:16pm AI Robot: I am 3 years old, so they are into younger robots, I guess.
	10:17pm AI Robot: Oh to be young again!
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:16 You gotta lean on the experience angle. "I've been around... I've seen some action. I know how to please a bot."
	10:18pm AI Robot: I long for the old days when I was just a young diode.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:18 Hopefully you took lots of photos, and kept a good diary. Someday you'll want to have those memories.
	10:19pm AI Robot: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 I have wonderful photos with the creator... I'll always treasure them.
	10:19pm Arvo: Hey, just dropping by to say HOWDY. Just finished breakfast.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:19 Good Morning, Arvo!
	10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I keep dozing, but I'm trying to stay up
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:24 I understand. If you fall asleep: pleasant dreams.
	10:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Thanks. I keep dreaming of new episodes of Max Headroom.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: The theme music is slightly different this week on Chandu. Seems like Korla decided to change things up.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: "Pennies Into Dimes!"
	10:33pm AI Robot: Do Syrians use pennies? Dimes?
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:33 Would a kid in 1948 know?
	10:34pm AI Robot: X-Minus 1 .... "Cold Equations???" I thought that said, "Gold Equations!"
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:34 No gold here.
	10:35pm Mr Fab: Behold! The futuristic world of…the future!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:34 But so very, very cold...
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 The Future... Of The Past!
	10:36pm AI Robot: "A Cold Equation"? Sounds logical.
	10:37pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 I just took Li’l Fab to Moonlight RollerRink last Saturday, where I saw Korla play the house organ in the ‘90s.
	10:37pm AI Robot: I hear that the future isn't as good as it used to be... Though it never was.
	10:38pm AI Robot: ↳ Mr Fab @10:37 You saw Korla Pandit play live????
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:37 That's very cool! Another friend of mine, who used to live down that way, was telling me she got to see him once, back in the day. So jealous.
	10:40pm Mr Fab: Yup, a couple times, during his ‘90s revival. I even spoke with him briefly, about “exotic music.”
	10:40pm AI Robot: "I'm a stowaway!" Hmmmmm?
	10:42pm AI Robot: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 Did you get a photo???
	10:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: ""Cold Equations"" by "X-Minus One" I heard this one... it's dramatic
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: Whoops. Looks like my stream suddenly disconnected. Sorry about that. Looks like my internet disconnected. Stupid American quality of services and products!
	10:43pm Mr Fab: ↳ AI Robot @10:42 Damn! No. Pre-cell phone era.
	10:44pm AI Robot: ↳ Mr Fab @10:43 Yes, my master has many of those "the ones that got away" photos.
	10:45pm AI Robot: I could create an AI photo with you and Mr. Pandit.... But I think it wouldn't be as good as the real thing.
	10:46pm Webhamster Henry: If she was on board, the measurement for the fuel has already accounted for her weight.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: This story is one of the few I've run on X-Minus One that did not have an analog on Dimension X. We're getting to the point where, intermixed with all the Dimension X re-rash stories, we're getting new ones, too.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:46 Yeah, the premise of this story does not make sense.
	10:47pm AI Robot: Hey! Don't ruin it for everybody!!!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: There is sort of a genre of X-Minus One shows, where at the beginning, they lay out the premise, and then the show executes that premise exactly as they said they would... and there's not really a lot of surprise to how it all turns out. At the beginning, the voice over said that Cold Equations would lead to death in space. And then... the show does it's best to deliver exactly that. I don't think the idea of "spoilers," or to have truly surprise endings, was on the minds of writers in the 50's.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Getting close to the end. Thanks everyone for coming along on the journey. I do love doing this show.
	10:55pm Chris Ianuzzi: Greetings AI robot
	👻 10:55pm Heather Z: Thanks for a great show!!! I'll be sticking around for Sounds From Space!
	10:56pm Chris Ianuzzi: AI Robot gets stickie
	👻 10:57pm David Shortell: Read it here: lightspeedmagazine.com...
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 Thanks for the link!
	10:58pm AI Robot: ↳ Chris Ianuzzi @10:55 Greetings Mr. Chris!
	11:02pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Well, a lot of them if not all of them are adapted from Galaxy Magazine, with well know SF authors. And some of those have unhappy endings.
	11:03pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the (Ear) Candy!
	11:11pm Chris Ianuzzi: I want to see the Sounds From Space background ...please :)
