Absolutely engrossing and great fun

While I'm not (quite) old enough to have lived through the golden age of radio, I thoroughly enjoyed just about all of the short programs. The voices are outstanding, creating a nostalgia that, in theory, i shouldn't have felt. The stories range from slightly predictable to nicely surprising. The closest analogy I felt was to vintage sici-fi like The Twilight Zone.

Keep these coming!

I'll purchase everything from Jim French that Audible supplies! Great stories, solid voice acting more times than not and hours of entertainment to relax with!
