The episode begins with a poetic introduction by Harald Fors, reading from his 1971 work 'Romantisk Återkomst' to depict September as a transitional period full of life and color. It describes Götaland's coastal landscapes enjoying a few weeks of late summer before autumn's melancholy sets in. The narration emphasizes September as a time of preparation and collection, both in nature and personally. It then transitions to sports, referencing Lennart Hyland's mastery of a new sports language in early September 1956. A specific track meet against Hungary in Stockholm is highlighted, with details about the low sun, long shadows, and a failed revolt planned for November. The 12th meet begins with sunny weather and packed stands after a day's delay, following a pleasant opening ceremony. From the radio archives, the episode selects Ray Bradbury's Mars story from September 2005, presented in a 1958 reading by Olof Thunberg. This segment describes rain in the Martian canals, observed by characters Lafarge and his sister, who note it's the first rain of the season. They warm their hands by a fire indoors, watching the rain glimmer on a rocket from Earth. Lafarge expresses a wish to have brought Tom along, but stops himself from dwelling on it. The episode is part of the 'Hundraårsserien' produced by Tommy Johansson for Radiofynd, featuring a century of Swedish radio content. It blends poetry, sports, and science fiction to capture September's multifaceted essence through historical audio clips.
