When I moved to Texas, one of the AM radio stations would play old radio show classics. My parents and I would turn off the TV and listen to the shows on the radio. Listening to the old shows, it would allow my imagination to run wild. Like reading a book, you used your imagination to mold the characters and scenery.
Back in 2004, I became a fan of James Purefoy after watching his performance in Vanity Fair. I noticed that he was doing a radio show for the BBC 4 today. Luckily, my Logitech Squeezebox system allowed me to access the BBC radio stations, so while I rested in bed, I listened to the radio show.
I spend a lot of time listening to "talk radio" of one form or fashion. Most of the time, it is for the background noise while I work. One way to keep myself up to date on the current events, just listening to the radio. I moved over to internet radio a couple of years ago. I have had some issues with streaming from time to time, but in general, I have been pretty happy with it.
I wish there were more radio shows like this here in the US. I know that there are audio books, but this is so much different. Audio books have maybe two or three readers, but with a radio show, it adds a bit more.
If you are interesting in trying it out, here is a link to the replay of The Sporting Life:
