X Minus One - 1957 Man's Best Friend
The Height of Science Fiction Old Time Radio
Many science fiction enthusiasts consider 1950-1960 to be the Golden Era of Science Fiction. This is the decade when the best Science Fiction old time radio was created. At the same time American's non-fiction world was filled with "duck and cover" exercises, red scare, McCarthyism, and the fears of a Soviet invasion or nuclear annihilation. To many, science fiction with aliens allowed audiences to play out the fantasy of invasion by substituting Communists for aliens.
End of Science Fiction on Radio
When Russian scientists launched Sputnik in 1957, science fiction became more of a science actuality. Inventions thought to only be in science fiction like rockets, televisions, and computers were becoming a reality. The future of entertainment was on televisions that were more ubiquitous in American households and the golden age of science fiction left the airwaves. Luckily many of these recordings were preserved for enjoyment today. Many science fiction old time radio shows survived in completion including Dimension X and X-Minus One.
