Time and Time Again - Old Time Radio Sci-Fi
Join us this week on The Shiver Show, as Mary and Greg enter a time warp with “Time and Time Again.” This unforgettable episode of X Minus One, aired on the NBC Radio Network (1956), and is based on the 1947 novel by H. Beam Piper.
The story follows Allan Hartley, a 43-year-old soldier wounded during the Siege of Buffalo in World War III. It’s 1975. The world is fractured. Then—without warning—Allan wakes up in 1945… inside his own 13-year-old body.
Armed with knowledge of Hiroshima, the course of World War II, Allan faces an extraordinary moral puzzle: Can he change the future? Should he? Or does time resist interference?
Author H. Beam Piper was fascinated by time distortion and alternate histories, themes he explored across numerous short stories and novels. Mary and Greg explore the episode’s haunting central question: If you could return to your 13-year-old self for one hour… what would you do?
