Series Description:

DIMENSION X was first heard over NBC on Apr. 8, 1950 and ran until
Sept. of 1951. Although not the first adult science fiction radio
series, DIMENSION X is remembered because of the quality of the
shows. Some of the writers whose works were dramatized were Ray
Bradbury, Robert Block, Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Kurt
Vonnegut.

These stories were adapted for radio by in-house script writer George
Lefferts.  Cast regulars were Joe Desantos, Wendell Holmes, Santos
Ortega, Joseph Julian, Jan Minor, Roger Decovan, John Gibson, Ralph
Bell, and many others. The narrator was Norman Rose.

It was one of the first shows to be recorded on tape.  This was so
new that one show, "Mars is Heaven", had to be re-recorded 3 times
because the engineer kept erasing the tape while editing it.

Many of the scripts for DIMENSION X were used in its successor, X
MINUS ONE, which ran Apr. 24, 1955 through Jan. 9, 1958.
