Escape - "The Earthman" (Old Time Radio)

Escape presents “The Earthman,” originally broadcast on CBS on July 25, 1951, as episode 146. Adapted by Walter Newman from Ray Bradbury’s “The Earth Men,” the drama was directed by Norman Macdonald and features Parley Baer, Hans Conried, John Dehner, and Georgia Ellis. Four members of Earth’s first rocket expedition land on Mars expecting a historic first-contact encounter. Instead, Captain Jonathan Williams and his crew find an inhabited world that seems strangely familiar—and a reception that grows increasingly unsettling as they try to make themselves understood. Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
