2000 Plus was broadcast on Mutual from March 1950 to January 1952 and was the first adult science-fiction anthology written directly for American radio, predating Dimension X by a month. Sherman Dryer produced original scripts rather than magazine adaptations. These public-domain transfers stream from the Internet Archive.

The shape of the run

What survives, year by year

7 dated broadcasts across 3 years on the air, with 2 years where nothing is known to survive. Brightness is transfer quality; empty cells are months lost to time.
