Old-time Radio Essentials continues its 3rd season with an episode of Dimension-X – their adaptation of a story by H. Beam Piper, "Time and Time Again"! This one's Dave's pick, and there's taut sci-fi a-plenty in the selection, followed by fast-paced discussion of its merits by the three co-hosts. Will Dave over-explain everything, leaving Pete and Paul with nothing to say? Tune in and find out!!
And since we're on the subject of finding things out, while you listen you'll learn if we feel this entry meets the following criteria:
1. Is it truly representative of that series? (Can anyone point to it and say, "Yes, that is what [NAME OF SERIES] was all about.")
2. Is it an episode worthy of inclusion in any and every OTR aficionado's private collection?
So with this in mind, we three bring you, as our thirty-third number (but 8th official episode of S3), this episode of Dimension-X, from 7/12/51. We'll introduce the show, play it in its entirety, then discuss it at length. Thanks for joining us, and we hope you enjoy it!

Your feedback means a lot to us! A review at iTunes or at your usual podcatcher would be appreciated.
Next Time: Paul's pick, an episode of Broadway is My Beat!
