X Minus One - "The Map Makers" (1956)

X Minus One presents “The Map Makers,” originally broadcast on NBC Radio on September 26, 1956. This is episode 68, adapted for radio by Ernest Kinoy from Frederik Pohl’s 1955 Galaxy Science Fiction story. When the deep-space survey ship Terra II is knocked off course during a hyperspace jump and its navigation atlas is destroyed, the crew faces an unfamiliar sky and an uncertain way home. With injured navigator Lieutenant Grodin at the center of the crisis, the stranded explorers must confront the limits of their maps—and their knowledge. Directed by Daniel Sutter and featuring John Larkin, Ed Prentiss, and Bob Hastings. Old Time Sci-Fi Radio 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.
