Old time radio (and video) for a modern SF audience
Submitted by Capt. Xerox on February 4, 2008 - 10:09pm.
One of the great things about the internet is that it is resurrecting old media once thought dead, such as radio drama.
While there are plenty of old-time genre-related series to explore online, we're also seeing new-time radio shows being produced. One example worth discovering is Decoder Ring Theatre. It's the perfect thing to add to your playlist when you get bored of listening to the same old tunes on your MP3 player.
Something else to add to your library are genre-related podcasts. One relatively new addition to that scene that will interest book readers is the Tor podcasts. Take the time to listen to these recordings of a panel at the last Worldcon that discussed the effects of blogging on the science fiction community.
But audio is getting old and we're seeing more and more video designed to be consumed on portable multimedia players. One video podcast that's making itself is Galacticast which is produced right here in Montreal. It's lots of fun and at only 5 minutes per episode is the perfect length for when you're on the go.
