Their friendly treatment of the machine—and one man’s poetry—leads to a humorous, character-driven early robot tale in which Lulu’s helpful intelligence becomes decidedly personal.Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:43 Original Broadcast22:23 ClosingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/x-minus-one-old-time-radio--7222646/support.Support Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
