Themed mixes are made live and spontaneously on the air from a variety of formats and equipment. There is a plan and there is no plan. The mix consists of found sound of many kinds and from many sources, old and new, put together on the run as the continuous audio collage continues. OTE sometimes employs “Receptacle Programming,” which means you. Hosted by Jon Leidecker and Robert Cole.

Continuing the unfinished Buck Rogers and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet serials from last week, surrounded by music from the 30’s, which then transitions into the 40’s as we add the World War II era serial, Hop Harrigan, Ace Of The Airways, as well as other obsessions with flight and airplanes from “The Shape Of things … Continued
Jumping back in radio space time, we intermix three science fiction serials from the 1930’s, including Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet. Flash Gordon was the very first science fiction program to appear on radio in 1935. These old radio sci-fi antiques are full of non-stop action and silliness, and it’s all … Continued
As we’ve said so many times before, the Universe continues to expand. A main focus in this episode is a recent comet sighted and followed on its path toward us and our Sun, along with some history of memorable comets and analysis of what comets consist of. Plus more scientists discussing many Universal subjects and … Continued
Old radio space based science fiction occupies this entire show, with several stories taking place in space from the likes of Dimension X and X-Minus One from the 1950’s, intermixed and played straight. Of incidental interest is how right and how wrong these dramatizations were about exploring space before it actually happened. 3 Hours.
After many years, Pastor Dick returns to OTE, along with his pals in faith, Harold Camping and…who? Anyway, this trio of God inspired commentators go at it for 3 hours, accompanied by their argumentative engineer, Izzy Isn’t. The added bonus from these collectors of God is a whole bunch of classic music and sermonizing from … Continued
Comedy in space flavors this expanded episode with the soundtrack from Dark Star and the Firesign Theatre in space. Also, NASA airbrushes alien artifacts out of their photos, Disney’s Tomorrowland takes us on the Star Tour, and various scientists answer questions on what we think we know about light, time, and the fabric of the cosmos. The … Continued
This version of Another UFO focuses on a couple of radio call-in talk shows on UFOs, a recent one from the BBC, and an American one from Chicago in the 60s. Not much has changed regarding this subject anywhere. We begin with descriptions of Nasa videos of UFO encounters in orbit, Nick Pope relates his … Continued
More from Stephen Hawking, Einstein, and the astrophysics of space, along with lots of Recpeptacle callers who are just floating out there with nothing to do, and more space-related songs than usual. The early misconception of a Universe filled with “ether” is described as being the medium throughout space, which facilitates the operation of everything … Continued
Starting out looking at the Moon, Stephen Hawking, the life and work of Einstein, and “Inside Star Trek” fill out this edition. Combining fictional fantasy, factual astronomy, and the physics that rule the Universe, we ride on through space. 3 Hours.
