About the author
Very little biographical information about Benjamin Witwer is readily confirmed from reliable online sources. What can be verified is that he is credited as the author of Radio Mates, a science-fiction work originally published in 1927 and later made available by Project Gutenberg.
Radio Mates reflects the fascination of its time with radio technology, speculative science, and far-reaching invention. For modern listeners, Witwer's work offers a window into an era when wireless communication still felt new enough to inspire both wonder and imaginative fiction.
Because dependable source material on his life appears limited, it is safer to remember him through the story itself: an early pulp-era author whose surviving work captures the mood of technological possibility in the 1920s.
