This drama CD does not connect the Alpha and Beta attractor fields. It only applies to Alpha, and it makes sense, because even though Shouichi is cruel and cold towards his daughter, and causes her to be supposedly cold around people - though I never really saw Kurisu as a tsundere, she only is this way with Okarin and only because, think about it, he's extremely strange out of context - he would never go as far as murdering her here - just as you say, he's a lot more human. And that's only because Suzuha even appeared in 1975 to retrieve the IBM and thus got the chance to interact with him, making him more "tame".

The Beta Attractor Field shows none of that. None. All he wants to do is steal his daughter's work, because he can't bear his intellect being inferior to hers, and knowing less than her ; and he would have been the one to kill Kurisu anyway, because her death, again, is a point of convergence, and there are little other means ; times does what it wants, and what it did there was make him so horrible. Since, in the Alpha, he actually got to be bathed in a "welcoming" environment through Suzuha and Yukitaka, I guess he would have never gone so far.
