About this episode
Step back into the airwaves of New York City with this vintage recording from Tony’s radio days. Fresh off the success of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, writer-producer Pen Densham turned his creative energy toward reviving one of television’s most iconic sci-fi anthologies: The Outer Limits. His vision brought the series back to life for a remarkable eight-season run, blending timeless speculative storytelling with modern sensibilities.
This episode captures that moment in time—when the seeds of revival were still fresh, and the genre landscape was shifting toward bold reimaginings.
📚 Book Review with Ernest Lilley: Co-host Ernest Lilley joins the conversation with a thoughtful review, adding a literary lens to the episode’s exploration of storytelling.
