VANCOUVER, Wash. – Re-Imagined Radio will present a timely science-fiction classic in May: “The Day the Earth Stood Still: A warning … an ultimatum.” The original radio adaptation of the 1951 movie aired on “Lux Radio Theatre.” Michael Rennie starred in both the movie and the radio play.
The episode premiers at 1 p.m. May 15 on KXRW-FM (99.9), Vancouver, and KXRY-FM (91.1), Portland. Subsequent broadcasts and streams will be provided by local, regional and international broadcast partners.
The movie was based on a 1940 short story, “Farewell to the Master,” written by Hiram Gilmore “Harry” Bates III. He used themes then popular in science fiction literature, including aliens, robots and flying saucers. The movie drew on fears of nuclear war and depicts the alien robot as a kind and noble visitor warning humanity to live peacefully or face the destruction of earth.
“As we hear in this radio story, the robot’s message is ignored by humanity,” said John Barber, producer and host of Re-Imagined Radio and faculty member of WSU Vancouver’s Creative Media and Digital Culture program “Even alien intervention cannot break through human intransigence.”
Re-imagined Radio premieres episodes on the third Monday of the month on KXRW-FM. In addition, every Sunday, an episode of Re-Imagined Radio is broadcast on KXRW, drawing from previously broadcast episodes. Episodes can be streamed on demand from the Re-Imagined Radio website, reimaginedradio.net.
Community Partners
Re-Imagined Radio draws on community voice actors, Foley artists, musicians, sound artists and engineers. Partners include KXRW-FM, KXRY-FM, Marc Rose and Holly Slocum Design
