Another reviewer criticized this for being "woke"... Oh man, these people that use the word "woke" as a negative putdown.. So if you're not woke then I can only assume you're asleep. Asleep and blinkered to the injustices and cruelty of the world. Rod Serling and The Twilight Zone, we're definitely NOT blind to the injustices and cruelty of the world. Serling was "woke" loooong before the word became an insult.
The majority of TZ episodes focused on the evils of war, the stigma of metal health, the depravity of racism. Subjects about accepting cultural differences, understanding suicide, substance abuse, learning from our historic mistakes, supporting our veterans, the hypocrisy of religion, abusive parents, etc etc. It explored important issues that no other show in those days was brave enough to touch on. So if your only take on the Twilight Zone is that it was a show about aliens wanting to cook humans, then you're going to get upset when this book points out it's dreaded "wokeness" that you refuse to acknowledge. Unfortunately for you, that's a massive part of what The Twilight Zone was about.
Rod Serling was wide awake and totally aware of the message he wanted to send. A brilliant man and an amazing show, there will never be anything else like it.

As for this recording.. It's a great addition to your library, especially if you enjoy "The Twilight Zone Companion". I thought it was going to be way too similar, but it actually delves deeper into most of the episodes and gives further insight into the show itself.
My only criticism, is that the narrator pronounces "written" as "wri-un". There's a couple of T's in that word, buddy!!
