About the podcast

🚀 The future has arrived. The question is whether humanity is ready for it.
Travel beyond the familiar with 2000 Plus, also known as Two Thousand Plus: classic science fiction radio exploring distant worlds, unsettling discoveries and the consequences of human ambition. Heritage Radio Vault brings these vintage sci-fi recordings to listeners who enjoy imaginative stories with something at stake.

📻 A different vision of tomorrow
Originally broadcast on the Mutual Broadcasting System from 1950 to 1952, 2000 Plus was an early adult science fiction anthology. Created by Sherman H. Dryer, it offered original radio plays rather than relying on a continuing space-adventure serial. Each story opens a new door into the possibilities—and anxieties—of the future.

🎧 Choose your journey
Explore the available 2000 Plus episodes, including The Temple of the Pharaohs, The Rocket and the Skull, The Insect, Worlds Apart and The Robot Killer. From the promise of discovery to the unease of the unknown, the collection invites you to imagine tomorrow through the sound and storytelling of vintage radio.

🔭 For fans of classic sci-fi and speculative drama
If you enjoy old time radio (OTR), space mysteries, stories about technology and atmospheric audio drama, start with a title that catches your imagination. These recordings offer a fascinating view of how mid-century radio imagined life beyond its own time.

📚 Presented by Heritage Radio Vault
Continue your journey through classic science fiction, mystery, adventure and radio drama from the collection.
