Radio plays - what have I been listening to?



As I was putting together my Feb reading list, I realised in my Graham Greene rabbit hole I'd been doing a bit of the old-fashioned radio play style listening, so I thought I would make a second post and link it to the book list.

In the past, I've mentioned how much I love Pulp Fury Radio and the full cast production of Daisy Jones & the Six on audible.

This month I listened to The Living Room which I enjoyed. It's apparently a look at Greene's own struggle with his religion and his affairs.



I also really enjoyed the fun of Laurence Olivier and John Gielgud in the short free production on Audible of 'When Greek meets Greek' and ' The Happy Hypocrite'. The Greene tale is a lot of fun. The Beerbohn is a little more dated.



The Missed is a full cast short series of a mystery in a small town told from different characters version of events. Sami Shah just won an award for it so I thought I'd check it out. It's entertaining and I finished it in just over a day.


All are free except Daisy Jones, so no harm in giving them a try.

Do you listen to radio plays?

  1. My husband and I listen to podcasts or audiobooks whenever we drive the 4 hours between our homes. It makes the time fly. The only challenge is when we arrive at our destination and I don't want to stop!

  4. I only have the patience and time for Audible in the car. I cannot listen to anything much like podcasts but I am glad you are enjoying this. One day I might have a greater attention span. Not counting on it though.

  5. I've never listened to a radio play but maybe I will now! We often listen to a podcast when we're on a long journey in the car and I've just started learning Spanish via an audiobook - game changer!
