I've recently finished "Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson, as broadcast on BBC 7, which was quite moving. I have a few others queued up on iPlayer. 7 have done Doctor Who and lots of other Sci Fi, fantasy and supernatural suspense. It's often very good - like Radio 4 for geeks. I used to read a lot when I was young, but I find it quite hard these days. However, I love being read to while I lay in bed with my eyes closed. It's also good in the car, and I sometimes time my journeys deliberately to catch a show. It's really not like other media. So, what radio drama do you listen to? If not radio, then podcasts or audio books? Where do you listen? |

I used to listen to the radio dramas on 4. But I don't get them out here - although I could probably stream them. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but mainly news/information podcasts, including most of the TWiT.tv network output. I have started listening to Audible audio books. |

I subscribe to a few podcasts, such as In Our Time, Danny Baker Show and Kermode's Film Reviews. While working I often have an audiobook on as music (or at least the stuff I listen to) can be too distracting. I'm listening to Guillermo del Toro's 'The Strain - Book 1' read by Ron Perlman but I've got a big collection of P.G. Wodehouse which can help pass the time. I'm also wading through episodes of 'The Shadow,' a crime-fighting radio serial from the 30's and 40's. |

I've been trying to get The Strain book cheap (it's not like I'm short of reading material) but it never goes beneath the £5 mark... The Shadow is being redone as a film (again). |

I'm only a short way into The Strain but it's good. It seems to be an expansion of Del Toro's version of vampirism as seen in Blade 2. The Shadow really only works as a radio show I think, where the idea of invisibility works quite well. Many of the 30's episodes (with Orson Welles) are very grim with quite a few scenes taking place in jail on Death Row as the Shadow torments prisoners about to be executed so that they reveal secret information. As the intro says: "These shows are designed to show forcefully, to young and old alike, that crime does not pay." |
