In this episode, we delve into the intriguing story of the Viking One mission to Mars, which was set to land on the red planet on July 4th, 1976. As the Viking One orbiter captures images from Mars, the possibility of discovering life on another planet is tantalizingly close. The episode explores the public's surprisingly nonchalant attitude towards this monumental mission, contrasting it with past fears and speculations about Martian life, as famously dramatized by Orson Welles in 1938. Renowned scientists like Dr. Carl Sagan weigh in on what Martian life might look like, suggesting that any organisms found would likely be very different from life on Earth.

We also explore the fictional tale of a murder investigation led by Detective Sergeant Digger Bowles and Detective Marion Trout. The story unfolds with the mysterious death of Saul Fender, initially thought to be a natural death but later revealed to be murder. As the detectives navigate through a web of potential suspects, including a quirky cast of characters from Fender's apartment building, they uncover the truth behind his death. The episode combines elements of science fiction with a classic whodunit mystery, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats as they await the final revelation.
