Know More: Podcasting, Pulp Fiction 2.0, Podcasting

Recently, I've been writing about old time radio dramas outside of this site. I've asked it before in a slightly different version of this post, but I'd love to discuss the subject more with other writers: What can we learn from old time radio writers?

In my own stories, I'm trying to reproduce that vivid, singular narration-style. I've been listening to a few podcasts that wear old time radio influences on their sleeves, and I thought I'd point them out. Check out Spaceship Radio, No Media Kings, or The Radio Detective Story Hour if you're looking for more contemporary stuff.

Also, check out blogging academic Harry Heuser's website for more examples of classic writers.

He digs through forgotten archives of old time radio dramas, turning up unexpected gems that shimmer in the 21st century light--historical surprises like a voodoo melodrama interrupted by news reports of the Pearl Harbor attack.

What do you think?

Jason: Funny you mention this, because I've been bemoaning podcasting's paucity of radio dramas. We now have this great opportunity to revive the form, but nobody has done so. In fact, I felt so passionate about this that I drafted a radio drama script earlier this year that I haven't yet had the time to complete. One of these days, I'm going to have to finish it and get some kickass actors to do it.
