    I'm curious how Heinlein finished this story - it felt slightly rush for time in the ending for air time. ( I expected a bit more of a moral or lesson to it.) I really felt teleported into the world and enjoyed the fantasy of alternative long distance travel. When stuck on the road in L.A. traffic, I often thought some sort of conveyance would solve a lot of the bottle necking of people trying to slide into an interchange lane at the last second 😊.

    This is a re-upload. I had mis-named one of the characters and so I re-did the script, and also, the script scrolling wasn't always in sync in the original. As I continue to make these videos the quality improves and I just thought the original of this one was sub par and I wanted to fix it. I hope you'll watch again, like, and comment!

    This is a re-upload. I'm getting better at presenting these Old Time Radio shows and I had uploaded this story before. But there were a few typos and missed words in the script I needed to fix, and I wanted to add some commentary notes, and animate the teaser at the beginning. And since these OTR shows are fun to listen to multiple times I hope that if you have already heard it, you will listen again and maybe hear some new details you missed the first time around. Or if you are listening for the first time, you will come back and listen again!

    I couldn't help but remember the Twilight Zone Episode "People Are Alike All Over". ( 1960) Wiki says that episode was based in "Brothers Beyond the Void" by Paul W Fairman (written 1952) and was the inspiration for the TZ ep. But I think they were both inspired by Bradbury's story. 😊 Excellent story.

      Singer / songwriter Thomas Zachariah Glazer (1914 - 2003) wrote and sang for this episode. His voice was really lovely and the songs were catchy. I had "Hear the Jets" in my head for days!

    As a youngster I read all Heinlein's short stories and most of his novels. I've always felt this one worked better in print than on the air -- Heinlein could gloss over the implausibilities that become hard to ignore in a dramatisation. 🤔

    • @insights2reality100

      I agree, and the character development too. The pivotal interaction between Van Kleek and Gains is more fleshed out in the short story. I hope listeners who liked this Radio Play of THE ROADS MUST ROLL might be inspired to read the original story. It can be found online for free!
