X Minus One Episode 1: “No Contact” | Old Time Radio Sci-Fi Classic

Step into the golden age of science fiction with X Minus One Episode 1: “No Contact.” First broadcast on April 24, 1955, this legendary Old Time Radio sci-fi drama launches listeners into a gripping mystery at the edge of the universe.

In this classic episode, humanity’s attempts to explore deep space are brought to a halt by a strange, invisible barrier. Five space expeditions have vanished without a trace—no recordings, no signals, no survivors. Now, a sixth voyage sets out to uncover the truth. Is it a natural phenomenon… or something far more unsettling?

Based on a story by George Lefferts and Ernest Kinoy, and performed by a stellar cast including Ken Williams, Luis Van Rooten, Matt Crowley, Wendell Holmes, William Griffis, Bill Smith, and Donald Buka, “No Contact” blends suspense, mystery, and cosmic dread in one of the most iconic openings to any Old Time Radio sci-fi series.

Whether you're a longtime fan of classic radio dramas or discovering X Minus One for the first time, this episode delivers timeless storytelling, atmospheric sound design, and the thrilling exploration themes that defined 1950s science fiction.
