X Minus One presents “Death Wish,” episode 115, originally broadcast on NBC on October 10, 1957. This science-fiction drama was adapted for radio by William Welch from Robert Sheckley’s 1956 Galaxy Science Fiction story, published under the pseudonym Ned Lang.
Bound for Mars, Captain Summers and his two crewmates discover troubling flaws in their ship’s newly installed computer equipment. When the spacecraft is forced far beyond the Solar System with limited fuel, the crew faces an urgent and increasingly desperate fight for survival. The cast includes Ralph Camargo, Maurice Tarplin, Walter Black, and Joseph Bell.
The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
