In the 1950s, the US Patriot Broadcasting Company brought us Atomic Tales, a series of shocking Science Fiction stories, posing incredible What If scenarios and exploring their terrifying consequences. Some of the original archives have now been unearthed, so that the shows can be broadcast, in full, including introductions and advert breaks, to a more cynical 21st century audience.

The show is, of course, a Pastiche of Golden Age Sci Fi, Amateur radio plays, Unfortunate Implications, and a reminder of why Americans are funny.

Tropes used in Atomic Tales include:

Aesops, often Broken
As You Know and similar formulations
Bad Bad Acting
Opening Narration
Reactionary Fantasy
Science Is Bad
Values Dissonance and Unfortunate Implications
Listeners are Morons
We Will Not Use an Index In The Future
Zeerust: Pretty much the basic premise of the series.
