Description: This Halloween, Word Balloon heads back to the golden age of radio for a special countdown of my Top 5 Sci-Fi Old Time Radio Show Adaptations — stories that defined cosmic horror and speculative imagination long before television ever caught up.

We’ll explore chilling classics like Ray Bradbury’s “Mars Is Heaven” and “Zero Hour,” the unnerving double-life tale “Marionettes, Inc.”, the surreal mystery of “The Junkyard,” and James Blish’s haunting micro-evolution fable “Surface Tension.” This episode features authentic audio clips from each of these legendary radio adaptations — the sounds, the voices, and the atmosphere that made 1950s sci-fi radio unforgettable.

And stay tuned — a follow-up episode will present each of these radio shows in their entirety, so you can experience the full broadcasts as they were originally heard. It’s a celebration of science fiction, suspense, and Halloween chills
