    How about Lou Genco and the late Bill Pfeiffer who began this internet Old
    Time Radio Digest back in 1994 and Charlie Summers whose dedication has kept
    this thing going since Bill's untimely passing.

    And how about Elizabeth McLeod who has forgotten more about OTR than many of
    us will ever know.

    I came across a dozen Old-Time Radio answering machine messages on a CD and
    was wondering if anyone knows who made these and when they were made?  I
    find them amusing, but my curiosity is getting the better of me.

>     and X Minus One is featured in today's edition of The Record
>     (Hackensack, NJ).

    It is an interesting article, but it has one glaring factual error.
    The stories from Dimension X and X Minus One did not come from the
    magazine Amazing Stories.  Stories from Dimension X came mostly from
    Astounding Science Fiction, as is credited in the show's openings.
    Some early episodes of X Minus One also credited Astounding, but most
    credited Galaxy Science Fiction.
