Audio Plays and Radio Drama

[DanaC]

As some of you may be aware, I am hugely into Audioplays. Whilst I love audio books, I have a particular penchant for full-cast audio/radio productions. I've already mentioned Big Finish on a number of occasions (the people who make Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel, Strontium Dog, 2000 AD and Stargate audio plays, amongst others). But I have recently discovered another production company: On Air - The Wireless Theatre Company.

Unlike Big Finish, the WTC downloads are free (though I am not sure if they can be downloaded outside of the UK: I haven't seen anything that says they can't and apparently they can also be downloaded via Globalradio1.com, so I suspect it's worldwide). There are some superb plays on there: if you want to check it out it's at

Are there any other audioplay fans in the Cellar? I know Sundae got into the Torchwood plays on BBC radio recently. Which by the way were very good.

Radioplays are a big thing over here. BBC Radio4 and BBC7 both rely very heavily on radio drama as a key element of their broadcasting. I know there are some Audiotheatre production companies operating in the States, but I am curious if Radio dramas/comedy plays are something you guys get on your radio stations? If so, can you recommend any that you've heard? I'd be interested in hearing how you guys do it
