Loneliness is truly universal
The story starts out as a melodramatic romance, complete with slapping an hysterical woman to calm her down(!), but by the end it touches a deep nerve and you can forgive most of early trite stuff. Loneliness is universal, as is love.

This is a deeply reflective and compassionate story and performance. it was courageous in the 1950s and very relevant today.

Pretty good
I listened to three episodes of X Minus One from Audible. The recordings reminded me of my uncle's love for old radio programs. Each episode was different and the character's brought the short stories to life. I would be interested in listening to more episodes.
