Their experience there is recounted in the broadcast, which is part of the X Minus One series. The episode originally aired on December 26, 1956, and was presented by the National Broadcasting Company in cooperation with Galaxy Science Fiction magazine.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
