X Minus One - "The Green Hills of Earth" (Old Time Radio, 1955)
X Minus One presents “The Green Hills of Earth,” episode 8, originally broadcast on July 7, 1955. Adapted by Ernest Kinoy from Robert A. Heinlein’s 1947 short story, this NBC Radio Network drama features Ken Williams as Rhysling, with original songs written and sung by Tom Glazer.
On Mars, a narrator remembers Rhysling, the blind singer whose guitar songs have become part of spacefarer folklore. When he is offered a return to the spaceways aboard the Goshawk, the story captures the rugged fellowship, dangers, humor, and longing of life among the interplanetary crews.
