Future Tense - Martian Death March (May 7, 1974)

FUTURE TENSE..... Was a sci-fi radio series produced at WMUK, the college radio station at Western Michigan University. Directed by Professor Eli Segal, the show brought fresh adaptations of classic 1950s radio sci-fi scripts (primarily from X Minus One and Dimension X) to a 1970s audience. The series is remembered for its localized, updated approach. Rather than relying on rigid 1950s tropes, Professor Segal updated many of the scripts by transplanting their settings to the 1970s and placing them in local Michigan areas. It blended classic science fiction audio elements with modern, mid-70s societal anxieties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
