Could you make a radio set? Don’t answer rashly. Don’t say that you have already built several. For note that we did not ask whether you could assemble a set from parts already manufactured by others, but rather whether you could build the entire set yourself—from the ground up. That means making every part you require, including the vacuum tubes, the acid in the batteries, the wires, the insulation.
If you think that you could do this, let us ask you one further question. Put yourself in the place of the hero of the following story, and imagine yourself stranded amid intelligent savages who have not progressed beyond the wood age. Under such circumstances, with nothing to guide you but your scientific memory, with no tools except those of your own creation, and with no materials save those furnished by nature, could you, though the lives and happiness of your dear ones depended upon it—could you make a radio set? —R. M. F., 1926. (Foreword) (8 hr 12 min)

Fun but difficult to get past various reader styles.

I enjoyed the story but the various reader styles was a distraction. I was about a third of the way through before I felt invested and more thoroughly enjoyed it. I will keep an eye out for a future, single reader version.
Great reading

Thanks to everyone for producing this selection! The readings were well done. The Radio Planet reads like the perfect role play basis for Tom Paris and Harry Kim on Star Trek Voyager. :D Not my first choice of genre, but entertaining enough to lighten chores nicely.
extremely difficult to get through

different readers is bad enough between chapters but add into that poor pronunciation and inconsistent pronunciation of words within the book, some readers couldn't even pronounce the authors name! overall this was a tough listen
