They knew how to take the words off the page then. If you've listened to any of the actors on the various Twilight Zone shows; you can just picture them.....reading their lines in a sound booth, with the microphone hanging down before their mouths. I'm telling you, radio acting is an art form all it's own and Carl will have, once and a while, an actor that is decent. But most of time he has his brother, his kids, his parakeet, playing the various parts. Listen to the cast list at the end of one of his shows.

But, when all of this stuff is pretty freely available online, it's hard to justify paying three bucks for some Christopher Lee intros. Cool that a few stations seem to be picking it up for broadcast over the air though, according to the website. I'm guessing, however, that it's going to be with the hobbyists rather than the businesses where OTR continues to flourish.

You did a terrific job with Sherlock. I, too, try to give it my best. As a matter of fact, I'll be doing a few recreations, next month. I'm particularly excited about playing the part of Simon Templer, aka- You Know Who.

I was the agent in THE DUMMY, and the copilot in KING NINE WILL NOT RETURN (and other li'l doublings.) Break one in the recreations! -Craig

People like you, who don't actually produce anything, that criticize people like me that do should be ashamed. And for your information, TZ has won more than a dozen awards of radio excellence in the past few years including AFTRA's highest award, so I'm just glad people who know what they are talking about are the ones judging my show.

Carl, my friend (although, let's be honest here, we were really just acquaintances and fans of a genre), in this particular case, I would never give a critique on something, unless I felt I was one of three things: 1) An expert, 2) A practioner or 3) a combination of both. Having said that, I feel that I could discuss your Radio Drama on this website and on this thread in particular, with other like minded individuals. I'm sure the savvy people that come to this site, know it is my own opinion that is expressed. As far as the parakeet remark, well that was strickly inserting my brand of humor in the commentary. So CHFB members; what do you make of this?
