Great variety on 1950s classic radio sci-fi
As more and more traditional shows left radio for TV in the late 1940s an dearly 1950s, science fiction stage don radio. It was simpler without visuals but it made for terrific storytelling by some of the best sci-fi authors in the business early in their careers. Loved them all but particularly "Elegy" and "A Pride of Carrots" (Cold War satire)
