Singer's choice of stories was truely Excellent! "Dark Benediction" by Walter M. Miller, Jr.; James Tiptree, Jr.'s "Houston, Houston, Do You Read?"; Roger Zelazny's "Home Is The Hangman"; "Ballad of Lost C'Mell" by Cordwainer Smith, Lewis Padgett's "The Twonky"; and Poul Anderson's "Call Me Joe." Henry Kuttner, Bob Shaw, Ursula K. LeGuin, Robert Silverberg, Michael Bishop, Ray Bradbury, Robert Sheckley, Philip K. Dick, and Arthur C. Clarke and more were also represented in the series. They were very well produced, with good scripts, though the acting and direction was sometimes a bit stiff, possibly from using actors not familiar with how to do radio. They still can induce a Sense of Wonder and stimulate the imagination.
