- 12:05 p.m. to 12:50 p.m. Monday, May 6 – "The Apex Predator" by William Dylan Powell. He knew his way around the swamp, but there was nothing like stealing a suitcase full of money to help him learn his place in the food chain. Also, "We Spy" by Clark Howard. Something fishy is going on at the house on 1810 Heather Street, and government intelligence is on the case!

- 7 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. Sunday, May 19 – "The Edge of the Sea" by Algis Budrys. He wasn't sure just what it was that had washed ashore, but it was his now and nothing on earth - or from beyond earth - was going to take it back.
