The success of the Space Patrol TV show on ABC spawned an almost instant radio version, which ran from 4 October 1952 to 19 March 1955 producing approximately 129 episodes. The same cast of actors performed on both shows.
Buck Rogers is a fictional character who first appeared in Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan in the August 1928 issue of the pulp magazine Amazing Stories as Anthony Rogers. It was later adapted the story into a the first ever science fiction comic strip. Philip Nowlan, with the help of editorial cartoonist Dick Calkins as the illustrator, and the syndicate John F. Dille Company, adapted the first episode from Armageddon 2419, A.D. and changed the hero's name from Anthony Rogers to Buck Rogers. The strip made its first newspaper appearance on January 7, 1929.
In 1932, the Buck Rogers radio program, making history again as the first science fiction program on radio, hit the airwaves. It was broadcast in four separate runs with varying schedules. Actors Matt Crowley, Curtis Arnall, Carl Frank and John Larkin all voiced him at various times. The beautiful and strong-willed Wilma Deering was portrayed by Adele Ronson, and the brilliant scientist-inventor Dr. Huer was played by Edgar Stehli.
Buck Rogers was also featured in a television series from 1979 - 1981, starring Gil Gerrard as Buck Rogers, and Erin Grey as Wilma Deering.

Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 – March 11, 1972) was an
American science fiction and mystery writer. He was born in Cincinnati. He is perhaps best known for his use of humor
and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of 1 to 3
pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a
somewhat postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well.
The famous pulp writer Mickey Spillane called Brown "my
favorite writer of all time". Science fiction and fantasy
writer Neil Gaiman has also expressed fondness for Brown's work, having his
novel Here Comes A Candle narrated by the character Rose Walker in the
collection The Kindly Ones of The Sandman.
Brown also had the honor of being one of three dedicatees of Robert A.
Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.
X Minus One was a half-hour science fiction radio drama series broadcast from April
24, 1955 to January 9, 1958 in various timeslots on NBC. Initially a revival of NBC's Dimension X
(1950–51), the first 15 episodes of X Minus One were new versions of Dimension
X episodes, but the remainder were adaptations by NBC staff writers,
including Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts, of newly published science fiction
stories by leading writers in the field, including Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip
K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Frederik Pohl
and Theodore Sturgeon, along with some original scripts by Kinoy and Lefferts.

Connie Willis was born on 31 December 1945 is an American science fiction (SF) writer. She has won eleven Hugo Awards and seven Nebula Awards.

All of the Oxford Time Travel stories have won the Hugo Award, and all but To Say Nothing of the Dog have won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award.
