Presenter Joy Jackson ofSeattle, Washington, an OTR fan for over 14 years and the
founder of the American Radio Theater which recreates many wonderful oldtime radio
programs. The shows are: A Shipment of Mute Fate from Escape, and The Trap from X
Minus One. One is adventure/suspense, the other is pure but funny science fiction.
A shipment of Mute Fate–a large deadly snake is being transported aboard a passenger
liner. Following a freak wave, the locked storage container is found smashed to smithereens.
But where is the snake? The trap–(from Science Fiction on Radio by James Widner
and Meade Frierson): “After finding a new type of trap on their doorstep, two hunters
try it out. They make a number of very strange catches.”
