Anyone here like radio drama

[Flower'sChild]

There is something about radio drama that I have always liked. One thing is I like the idea be able to view a picture in my mind based on what I am hearing. I like to listen to old radio shows from the 1940's such as the Shadow and Escape and so on. I also like books that are turned into radio drama. I have 2 different radio dramas of the Lord of the Rings on Cd. One was the Mind's Eye radio drama that was first broadcast in 1979 and the other was the BBC that was first broadcast in 1981. Ian Holm who was the voice of Frodo in the BBc radio drama later was cast as Bilbo in Peter Jackson's live action movie version of the Lord of the Rings.

One of my favorites is called "The Too Perfect Alibi" starring Danny Kaye. But I do love Danny Kaye =)

I enjoy listening to books on tape (now CDs) when I'm driving or walking for that reason. I just have to be careful not to get so immersed in the story that I stop paying attention to the road!

Of course, I'm old enough to have actually listened to some programs on the radio, although not old enough to remember their names. We didn't get a TV until I was 6 or 7 years old, and they were still black & white.
