Exploring Tomorrow was a short-lived series, hosted by the influential editor, John W. Campbell Jr., of Astounding Science Fiction magazine which ran on the Mutual Broadcasting System from late 1957 to mid 1958. Despite the apparent link to Astounding, the magazine was not sponsoring the series. Campbell merely acted as host, commentator, and, perhaps, script editor and adaptor. Each episode featured musings by Campbell on the cultural, psychological, or sociological implications of that night's theme. These musings were often as engaging as the story itself! Unfortunately, very few of the episodes have survived the years intact—most copies have a lot of scratch. While the series was designed to be only 25 minutes in length, some of the shows might have been doubled up two per broadcast, since some episodes are considerably shorter.
