All Night Old Time Radio Shows | Sci Fi Adventures! | Classic Science Fiction Radio Shows | 8 Hours! 

Great story! Glad you enjoyed them 👍👍

i listen to old time radio podcasts on my tablet at night. there's quite alot of them.

I hope things have got easier in your life.

My parents were religious weirdos and we didn’t have tv, radio shows were fine.

@@reckenralph8282 Not watching tv probably did you more good than harm.

Cracked me up when I heard the rotary dial.

i wish my imagination wasn’t so vivid. I can imagination some EMPs coming in and then we could be wishing for anything as complex as a rotary dial.

That would be very cool 👍

Who would have thought it’d be the “green” energy loonies that’d go full on tyrannical.

@@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074 Science is lunacy, huh? And yet you express this sentiment via computer device and the internet, invented by scientists to exchange research.

@@aninewforest I didn’t say anything about science. Branding something green isn’t science.

@@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074 And yet it's the scientists, entire professional bodies of scientists, calling for a transition away from fossil fuels.

Look at history and the people with impeccable credentials as truth tellers are often dead wrong in retrospect, and always prone to systemic distortions. Today's scientists are no different.

Me too 👍😎 thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Sure seems like it 😎

Well said! I’m glad you like it 😊

Yes ppl were aware of both civics and certainly, manners. Christian? Approximately 40%-60% identified as such, but there were rules that expected by all that governed individual privacy: subjects such as sex, religion, and politics were considered rude unless within close, intimate relations or family. For example, orientation was not broadcast. Yet gahy ppl still existed. You didn't give a toss about other people's sex lives, it wasn't considered one's "business." Same with religion. No one was trying to convert anyone else to anything else. Not like today with ppl cramming it down your throat even tho ur not interested. Some people with Southern Baptist. Others were Catholic. A minority were Hindu, Islam, and Buddhist or Jewish. It didn't matter to most because, again, it generally wasn't any of your business. If you were at someone else's home for dinner, you'd observe their custom (for example grace) but never for a minute would you dare to ask outright someone's beliefs unless you planned on dating them or something. And yes, despite the racial and cultural differences, we were all united in our one allegiance to the country and DEMOCRACY, even pacifists, agnostics, and atheists would say: "under God, with liberty and justice FOR ALL." We still had crime, abortion, homelessness, poverty, infrastructure, inequalities. But some things were unthinkable: rudeness being at the top of the list. We were trying to make the world a better place.

Do you mean one of the upcoming videos? Tuesday’s and Friday’s will be premiering at 8:30 CST 👍

@@aneveningofoldtimeradio Haha, sorry I forgot that this is a compilation of programs. I was listening to Zero Hour by Bradbury and they kept saying it's 5 O'clock. That was my little joke.

@@daviddunn1377 ah ok 😊😊

Good point. I doubt that shorthand was still being used, either.

@@artmoss6889 Right, is it even used much today? It's mostly used as a metaphor for taking short cuts.

In 2023 you know it.

@@JGMoore True but even I wouldn't have said to leave it off the hook. I think he would have said "Don't hang up" like I would. Plus the 2035 in this story I feel is supposed to be more advanced and much different than we will be in 2035. The author chose 2035 thinking it would be a world of flying cars Jetson style. But I might be reading too much into his intentions.

Which bits are you confused about? I'll try to explain without spoilers for the other listeners.

The irony is amusing that the character in the story claims that humans have inalienable rights to life and freedom, except those rights have no objective basis to be found in a rationalist materialist scientific society. They come from "imperfect" religious thought. Throw those beliefs away and society loses any philosophical grounding to claim that a clump of cells is entitled to anything beyond what its government dictates.

@@glenncox9128 What's that old saying - 'One man's junk is another man's treasure'? 🙂

@@JaneDoe6000 Indeed, it’s very subjective and personal, with regard to preferences. However, in the bigger picture there are objective criteria and models which may be applied, but I’m not referencing that with regard to my post. Just simply the fact that I hate Bradbury’s tropes.
