-Ruby was released on 5 LPs to radio stations in 1981
Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe is the title character of a
science fiction radio drama series by the ZBS Foundation, written by
Thomas Lopez. The first series, Ruby: Adventures of A Galactic Gumshoe
was created in 1982. In each of the series, Ruby is hired to solve some
metaphysical problem for clients. New series have been released every
few years, reaching Ruby 9.5 by 2015. Ruby is a comic science fiction
treatment of the hardboiled detective genre; the original series took
place on the planet of Summa Nulla ("the high point of nothing")
although later series took Ruby to other planets and solar systems.
Laura Esterman starred as Ruby in the first series and Karen Young
starred in the second series as "Ruby Too", another version of the
protagonist, while Esterman, as Ruby, had a cameo part in this series.
Esterman returned to the lead role from Ruby 3 onwards, credited as
Blanche Blackwell. The series was originally syndicated to air on the
radio in episodes of approximately three to four minutes long, but later
released as half-hour episodes to radio stations. To date, twelve Ruby
adventures have been released, the most recent in 2015. Ruby has been
broadcast in 23 countries, including Canada (on CBC), England (on BBC),
Australia (on ABC) and the US (originally on PBS, more recently on
Sirius-XM Satellite Radio). Ruby entered Science Fiction's Audio Hall of
Fame for Best Science Fiction of 1982."
