Dimension X - "The Martian Death March" (Old Time Radio, 1951)

Dimension X presents “The Martian Death March,” episode 34, originally broadcast on NBC Radio Network on January 14, 1951. This original radio story was written by Ernest Kinoy and directed by Edward King, with Norman Rose as announcer and narrator. On an Earth-conquered Mars, a human colonist remembers a desperate flight by spider-like Martian refugees from imposed reservations toward their mountain homeland. Led by a human advocate, the journey becomes a tense, compassionate science-fiction allegory of conquest, displacement, and solidarity. The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
