We are back in the Listener Library! Because Darrell requested it, we’re listening to an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story, specifically an episode of X Minus One entitled “Colony!” In a search for a suitable planet to colonize, a ship’s crew examine a world that seems too good to be true. Why have their possessions suddenly turned against their owners? Is there any way to know which items are genuine? Do you trust your rug? Do you trust it completely? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

Thank you! That was exactly the series I was trying to remember. I think the story I was thinking of shared a few elements, but ultimately was not a “Colony” adaptation.
Guys, this podcast brings me so much joy in my TV-less, wifi-less apartment. Thanks for the laughs and insight! (Btw, I ALSO thought this could totally have been a Star Trek episode!)
It gives me a lot of joy to know our old-time radio podcast is taking the place of TV and the internet! Thank you so much for listening, Vincent.
