Welcome to Mars 1947-1959
SAJ contributor Ken Hollings presents a live twelve-part series of unscripted reflections on the fantasy of science in the early years of the American Century.
With electronic sound production by Simon James.
Between 1947 and 1959, the future was written about, discussed and analysed with such confidence that it became a tangible presence. This is a story of weird science, strange events and even stranger beliefs, set in an age when the possibilities for human development seemed almost limitless.
Broadcast live on Wednesdays at 3.30pm GMT via Resonance FM.
Welcome to Mars will also be available as a series of podcasts from Simon James
