X Minus One - "The Defenders" (Old Time Radio, 1956)

X Minus One presents “The Defenders,” episode 52, originally broadcast on May 22, 1956. Adapted by George Lefferts from Philip K. Dick’s Galaxy Science Fiction story, this NBC Radio Network drama was directed by Daniel Sutter. After a long war drives Western society underground, college student Mary Taylor studies Josef, a captive from the Asian Confederation, while robotic “leadys” continue the fighting on the surface. As she begins to question the official version of the war, pressure mounts from Internal Security in this tense tale of propaganda, automated warfare, and the hope for peace. The cast includes Lydia Bruce, Warren Parker, and Robert Dryden. Old Time Retro Radio 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.
