Excellent again, I2R. This was one of the 1st Dimension X rebroadcasts I listened to, in spellbound awe, on late-night AM radio as a child in the 70's. As always, the description, historical glossary & preamble elevate your channel to apex-level OTR. Thanks.
just now seeing this. I, likewise, recall radio rebroadcasts of many shows in the 70s. In the Los Angeles area, 93 KHJ - and yes - after midnight. Dimension X - x - x - x rings a bell, but not until I reheard these, would I have remembered. My siblings and I would borrow records from the library of old radio programs, but most of those were comedies, as I recall.
Oh, my! I know the trope, of course, but for some reason not this particular story. A couple of thrills: I caught the Nettie connection pretty early - woo hoo!; I'm fond of the fantasy moment that $10,000 was taken out of the bank for a $9,000 product . . . what would you do with $1,000 in 1951?: and I had wondered at B-2 . . . was the Braeling actor good enough to voice both roles? I was shocked/pleasantly surprised/enamoured when I saw that Ross Martin played the voice of B-2. I've always enjoyed Martin's acting, introduced to me as the side kick (can't remember the name) to James West in The Wild Wild West. I know next to nothing of Martin's history of acting, but in the Wild West shows, he was always mimicking character roles in the series: sea-salt captains, drunkin' fools, old ladies and such. So the light went on for me - here he is mimicking the voice and style of the hen-pecked Braeling. Brilliant.
Fun ! (& the 1950s were an odd era of many wives even w/0 children sitting home all day while Mod(ern) Con(venience)s of home appliances + canned food (!!) had reduced the housekeeping workload... )

This was very clever. I enjoyed it immensely.
Agreed.

Well, I wouldn't kick his performance out of bed for turning on the Resonator once in awhile (but just for, like, 30 seconds at a time).
Fun !
