X Minus One - "Point of Departure" (Old Time Radio, 1957)

X Minus One presents “Point of Departure,” episode 116, originally broadcast on NBC Radio Network on October 17, 1957. Adapted by Ernest Kinoy from Vaughn Shelton’s Galaxy Science Fiction story, the episode was directed by George Voutsas and features Dean Olmquist as Mr. Donner. At the Utah Flats Atomic Plant, Donner is called upon to account for an unapproved research project after a visitor brings forward remarkable plans linked to ancient Egyptian artifacts. Lost knowledge, solar power, atomic-age experimentation, and a desert rocket test converge in this suspenseful science-fiction report. 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.
