He soon turned to radio for an alternative entertainment, specifically night time AM radio. He discovered the seemingly endless selection of different stations and cities that could be sampled with the turn of a dial.
The idea of catching audio glimpses of countless different people all doing their own thing very far from his little town, gave him the sense that in a way he was visiting these people in myriad different locations.
Traveling across the nigh time am dial was like traveling around the world to a young boy, using his imagination to fill in what all these different people and places might look like. The feeling of never knowing what the next station might bring was mirrored in the original Star Trek series of the early 60s which is his favorite. It all fueled an imagination that was destined to manifest itself in a story of a populated galaxy, and the human interaction with it.view less
