Episode Synopsis "A Logic Named Joe"
Our first offering is a radio show comedy entitled “A Logic Named Joe”. It was written by Murray Leinster in 1946. It started as a short story that appeared in a number of magazines in the late 1940’s and then in the 1950’s it was adapted into a radio play and appeared on the “Dimension X” and “X Minus One”. During that time period the show was a futuristic science fiction work that looked at what life would be like 30 years in the future. Today it is a great example of a retro future sci-fi giving us a glimpse of what the world thought the future would look. Keep in mind this comedy was written almost 75 years ago. Murray was pretty close to the mark on a number of things, just not in 30 years, but more like 70 years. This production was recorded on May 15th, 2020 with actors on a video call joining from Effingham, Brownstown, Teutopolis, a dorm room in Bloomington and even from a car in a traffic jam near St. Louis! We hope you enjoy the 3 Chicks and a Stream production of “A Logic Named Joe”
