What happens
William and Susan Travis, a couple from the year 2155, are vacationing in 1955 Mexico during a fiesta. At a hotel bar, a man in a white suit, Sims, begins to suspect who they are and follows them. The couple tries to avoid him while he presses them with questions about their clothing, their habits and a travel agency that sells time vacations. Sims is in the same hotel, and the tension between the couple and their pursuer builds as they consider how to escape. X Minus One aired this Ray Bradbury story on the National Broadcasting Company on 1955-12-14, adapted for radio by Ernest Kinoy.

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.
