I'm not generally a huge fan of radio drama, either because it's too long and I can't usually find enough to do while I listen to it or because it's a serial and I miss bits through not having it on at the right time every day, but I was thinking I might try the flood thing. Maybe I won't, now!
(Radio currently firmly off, on account of Bleak bloody Expectations, which wasn't terribly funny in season one and has now stretched the gags to what must be half a dozen seasons.)
I loathe Bleak Expectations, far too bloody clever for its own good.
I love radio drama, but I listen to it all on iPlayer when I have insomnia, or on the treadmill, or in the car. I need to be on my own with no distractions. You might like the flood thing - I'm not an SF fan per se, I just love post-apocalyptic nonsense, and I've never read any Ballard.
I listen to the Archers via the podcast, but I usually just have broadcast radio on in the car: maybe I need to find a form of exercise where I can listen to the radio!
I listened to The Sleeper while driving to Sheffield: was good but I bit hard to follow. Probably trying to control a machine at 70 mph was incompatible with complete attention.
That's my problem with the dramas, I think: I can't just sit and listen to them, so I'm usually doing something else and then I think that I'll just have a look at LJ and wait, what did I just miss?
I despise the little mini-dramas after Woman's Hour; I never listen more than once or twice a week, I can't think why they think I wouldn't want to choose the audiobooks I want to listen to, that sort of thing. It feels like a throwback to the 50s. I mean, even more than Woman's Hour does anyway. On the other hand, if they lump them all together and make a seamless podcast out of it, they might have something...
