how interesting! i have always been a fan of radio and talk shows and a more out-fashioned way of going about entertainment and although this is fairly high-tech i feel as though it also ties back into traditional "fireside hours" of a once less advanced america. i really enjoy the idea of putting a show on that is meant to be heard only, such an interesting challenge and new design approach. very innovative and yet also very traditional.. cool.

this actually sounds really interesting. i'm not sure how i feel about the lack of visual. i think it will be more accessable to a wide audience. i know that at home i would have been interested in subscribing to this and listening to it on the train ride to school in the mornings. the plots are actually what really interest me most. as i read the synopses i began to imagine them each. the nice thing about not getting any visuals is that we'll all be able to use our imaginations again. yay for imaginations!
ps, i tried to download it and itunes said its not available in the US yet.

I think that this is such a wonderful idea, to take a step back to the 'early technology' methods of storytelling.
The fact is, it that even a big mega-musical is just words on a page, and doing a throwback to the radio play concept is just showing another way to successfully tell a story and entertain.
