This guy sounds like the robocalls I get on my cell phone all the time... No offense dude....

[@burnau8940]

Exactly
Where are the actual radio shows and not these guys simply reading the scripy. I can't stand them. Boring.

[@otterrivers3765]

​@@burnau8940These are called "Audiobooks". If you want a radio show try searching for "radio show" (tip)

I wonder if Bob Gurr (The Disney designer) saw the monorail depicted here as a kid?

[@sebastianmelmoth9100]

“United Nations astronomers …”. Bwahahaha.

[@jolujo5842]

LOL... "Thorn Hard" ? What a name!! 😄
Super hokey yet a fun listen. Typical 1930's sci-fi.

[@ghostoflazlo]

I love how he does the accent but omg, my man goes so hard I have a hard time understanding him sometimes
Live these stories, just wish I could understand the whole thing 😅

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Check your spelling.

Here'a to Merry Lonster! 00:01

[@bryine.willis8683]

This time ?

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

Thorn Hard??? I think Murray was watching too much porn! Btw 1933! Give him a break!

A bit corny, but fun.

[@edpiv2233]

They have said queer to many times already.

[@HowLongOLordFaithfulandTRUE]

Queer means strange in your English dictionary. Morons gave themselves that name. If you look at the American Journal of Phycology and Law, it's a mental illness. The very people who are praising gays are setting them up for extermination... Already happening all over the world. You been had. By the way.. in Merry old England, a "fag" is a cigarette.

[@WilmerCook]

That is queer isn't it!

[@tgdomnemo5052]

... what a nice exemplary bit of coldwar propaganda 😮
published in 1933 😳 ???

[@t43562]

such terrible accents.

[@jordan_roadhouse4798]

far better than my own attempts at any.

[@mikelheron20]

Jordan__ Roadhouse Then you must be astonishingly inept.

[@thekaiser4333]

I like Kreynborg, I feel related to him. The speaker's "normal" reading voice is far worse. He sounds like John Oliver's catheter cowboy and this here is not a western.

[@dmonvisigoth1651]

Somehow the most offensive Russian accent I've ever heard read aloud. I guess they'll always be doomed to be the villains.

[@FrancisoDoncona]

This didn’t age well.

[@gimmethepinkelephant3685]

@@FrancisoDoncona sure it did. It's literally still happening to this day. Or have you not been watching the news making Russia out to be the villains while Ukraine is just some innocent country that got invaded for no reason...lol! Not to mention the propaganda making the west seem like heroes by pouring billions of dollars in cash and equipment to keep a war going that should have ended a few months ago.
I think that comment aged perfectly.
And let's not forget about the fake election interference from 7yrs ago that the U.S. aimed at Russia simply because the mainstream couldn't cope with their chosen candidate losing.😂

[@adidragomir7469]

They sure behave like villains...

[@williamhagen2792]

Murray’s crystal ball failed: UN v USSR? Whoops. Story could have been much shorter.

[@thekaiser4333]

True. Today e.g. the DNC is spying on itself.

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Didn’t age well.
