For our third night of ds106radio listening, we had two tales – “Who Goes There” originally a John Campbell short story (PDF) and later a few different movies and even a couple of comic books, and “Nightmare” which was originally a poem, Nightmare Number Three by Stephen Vincent Benét
They both did a great job with the sound effects. “Who Goes There” didn’t have a whole lot of them, but what was there made quite an impact
my son just about jumped out of his skin with the monster sound. #ds106radio

Monsters! Monsters! All of them! ? and the sound effects are out of this world #ds106tales — Gabby Christie (@christie_gabby) September 24, 2015
The music was also minimal yet impactful
"One of us is a monster" DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!!!! #ds106tales

Our second tale came from the Dimension X radio series, broadcast back in 1951. The recording was a little more primitive, but the sound production was excellent
@phb256 The production on this show is top notch! #ds106radio — Jim Groom (@jimgroom) September 24, 2015
and it was primitive in other ways as well
It’s the fear of AIs before AIs. Also a healthy dash of 50s sexism… #ds106tales

The radio feed that followed the Tales from ds106 broadcast had some weird skipping thing going on
Moral of the story: technology will be our downfall, someday. #ds106tales
